Having trouble removing C:\SPE folder

 
 
Reply Sat 11 Sep, 2004 02:30 pm
Hello,
I'm having trouble with this spyware/adware that a lot of other people seem to also be having trouble with getting rid of. I've tried basically all the solutions that I've come across but I'm only half way of getting rid of the problem. Basically, my homepage is not locked anymore and it stays to the address that I want it at. This has been fixed for about a month. However, every time I try to get rid of the folder C:\SPE it basically regenerates itself within a day or two. Can someone help me out. Here is my HJT log:

This "t?skmgr.exe" - check your C:\Windows\System32 folder, there probably is more than one program that would fit such a name scheme (that is, "t" as the first letter, then another letter, then "skmgr.exe") - taskmgr.exe is a windows file and should NOT, under NO circumstances, be deleted. IF you find some other file that matches that name pattern, rename the file to somethign different (just rename, don't delete, just in case).

Oh, and if you want to reduce the amount of spyware you catch, stop using Internet Explorer or derivates of it (like "Smart Browser" or things like that) - use Firefox, Mozilla, Opera or other browsers that are NOT based on the IE engine.
