Re: msconfig - startup question

From: "martyh" <martyh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

| David,
|
| I downloaded the Multi_AV.exe and ran all the included apps. Whew, took
| like four hours! Anyhow, I did this in standard/normal Windows mode -- *not*
| in Safe Mode yet as I had a couple questions.
|
| I'm probably not as computer-savvy as I need to be to run this stuff; wasn't
| sure about "killing" all running processes and probably had a few running in
| the background. Will post the final summary logs below for all four
| processes for your review; if you need to see the entire logs (some are quite
| long, as I'm sure you know), I can post them.
|
| About running in Safe Mode: I wasn't quite sure in the docs about the
| explanation regarding a boot disc. I'm running XP under NTFS (I think those
| are the correct letters!), and I'm assuming that the boot disc is *only*
| necessary if one is having problems booting their PC because of the
| viruses/trojans. I'm not having such a problem; PC boots fine. So do I
| assume I just go into Safe Mode and run the apps from there? Hope I'm making
| this all clear.
|
| Anhow, here's the base results from the scans from the four apps in normal
| mode:
|

| C:\WINDOWS\cpbrkpie.ocx ... Found potentially unwanted program CouponBar.

I wouldn' woory about running it in safe Mode Except for the one piece of adware above,
your PC is clean. That's good.

Since IBM00003.EXE is a Torpig Trojan variant and is a Password Stealing Trojan, I suggest
you change any/all passwords that you have used in conjunction with the computer
