| How to Stop, Delete and Clean Script in Windows xp! Hi, There is one issue started I don't know whether its a virus or just a script. However, I have deleted formatted Drive C: re-installed the windows, but this script still runs at startup which makes my laptop damn slow. How do I delete, clean and stop this script forever. Here are the details: Target Command located at: C:\Tempe\d.vbs (but there is no folder or file here!!!!!!!!!!) And in background it runs with the name of wscript.exe Startup location Registry\Current User\Run I am using latest updated Eset Smart security 4 x x .... What should I do? :s P.S: I asked same question in other tech forums to get an answer, Thanks |

| It isn't a good idea to cross post in other forums--we don't know what others have suggested. It is possible that the file exists and is hidden. Try typing "notepad C:\tempe\d.vbs" (without the quotes) in the run box, and say what you get. |

| This looks very suspicious to me. I've asked to have the thread moved to the malware section for the experts to have a look at. Merely Deleting the Tempe folder and all its contents might work, but could likewise cause the malware guys a headache in making sure the rest of the system is clean. So please wait until someone with a blue or gold shield tells you what to do. |

| Thank you for taking interest and I have used another antivirus meanwhile, but of no use. After copy pasting it makes this post too long is there any way to attach the .txt files? DDS.txt details Quote:

2. Close any open browsers and any other programs you might have running Double click on combofix.exe & follow the prompts. If you are using windows XP It might display a pop up saying that "Recovery console is not installed, do you want to install?"Please select yes & let it download the files it needs to do this When finished, it will produce a report for you. Please post the "C:\ComboFix.txt" for further review ****Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it's running.

| Download the attached CFScript.txt and save it to your desktop ( click on the link underneath this post & if you are using internet explorer when the "File download" pop up comes press SAVE and choose desktop in the list of selections in that window & press save) Disable any antivirus/antimalware/firewall realtime protection or script blocking in the same way you did previously before running combofix & remember to re-enable it when it has finished Close any open browsers Then drag the CFScript.txt into the ComboFix.exe as shown in the screenshot below. ![]() This will start ComboFix again. It may ask to reboot. Post the contents of Combofix.txt in your next reply Note: these instructions and script were created specifically for this user. If you are not this user, do NOT follow these instructions or use this script as it could damage the workings of your system and will not fix your problem. If you have a similar problem start your own topic in the malware fixing forum This will create a zip file inside C:\QooBox\quarantine named something like [38]-Submit_2008-01-17@17.50.zip at the end it will pop up an alert & open your browser and ask you to send the zip file please follow those instructions. We need to see the zip file before we can carry on with the fix If there is no pop up alert or open browser then please go to http://www.thespykiller.co.uk/index.php?board=1.0 and upload these files so I can examine them and if needed distribute them to antivirus companies. Just press new topic, fill in the needed details and just give a link to your post here & then press the browse button and then navigate to & select the files on your computer, If there is more than 1 file then press the more attachments button for each extra file and browse and select etc and then when all the files are listed in the windows press send to upload the files ( do not post HJT logs there as they will not get dealt with) Files to submit: the zip file inside C:\QooBox\quarantine created by combofix named something like [38]-Submit_2008-01-17@17.50.zip or to http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/subm...php?channel=38
