[Resolved] Pop-up when booting

I get a pop-up window when I boot. It also creates a directory called ecommerce with a couple files in it. In addition, it creates an icon on my desktop. When I delete these things, and re-boot, the directory, icons, files, and pop-up re-appear. I use AOL with dial up access so I know I'm not online when this happens. I have run startuplist and included it here for analysis:

First, Welcome to TSG!


Next I would go here http://tomcoyote.com/SPYBOT/

And download and run spybot.
If this does not solve the problem, I would click on the report tab at the top of the post and ask a moderator to move this to security so the people who know what they are looking at can have a better look at your post. If you want to try additional things such as online virus scanners etc... Go here http://forums.techguy.org/t110854/sc53a516cad96cdef3db9ba30a4837132.html
Rog has done a great job with linking additional resources.


Let us know

 

You've got a lot of funky Toshiba laptop stuff there and lord knows whether you need everything you have running at startup.

But the ads might be coming from:

TgAddServer = "C:\Program Files\tioga\Client\bin\tgfix.exe" /fds "http://vtsupport.answerteam.com/global"

See this link and do ctrl-f to find specific startups such as TgAddServer:

http://www.lafn.org/webconnect/mentor/startup/PENINDEX.HTM

I don't think Spybot will remove it, but it's still worth installing and running.

Startup programs can be disabled by going to Start>Run and entering msconfig

Just uncheck them under the startup tab to troubleshoot, or leave them permanently unchecked if you don't really use or need them.

 

This one needs to go too:

SystemTasks = C:\sexicamz.exe :

http://www.cexx.org/liveshow.htm

SpyBot probably removes it as well, but do keep an eye on it.

 

Spybot found the problem files and deleted them just as I had done manually only to have them return upon re-boot. Tony's link above provided the exact instructions needed for a permanent fix. Thanks to all for the assist. Jim

 

And again I must bow to Tony's wisdom. You really should see his Guru picture

 

Yup, here's another picture of me, on my way to solve yet another computer problem!
