Hi Richard:
This could be a long pull. I vacillate between trying to track these down
and a wipe and reload. In many cases it seems to take about the same amount
of time. At least with a nuke and reload of Windows you are "assured" that
the spyware is "killed".
Some have suggested that there is a possibility that the bad stuff can live
on after a format, and I suppose it is possible, but I have no concrete
evidence that this has happened. Commonly, this school of thought suggests
to throw away the drive and start fresh.
I have a pretty strong electro-magnet bulk tape eraser that might get that,
but ?
I would start with Google and auto runs from windows internals.

OK, I'm running an SBS 2003 Prem setup with 10 xp pro clients. I have one
client that was just added and they were WAY behind in updating service
packs
and security fixes but they were running the TM CSM 3.6 (server and
clients).
The appears to be some type of spyware/malware/virus that is on this one
xp
client that I cannot get rid of even after updating the client with
security
packs and running TM scans. My next step is to create a HijackThis log
file
but I need help interpreting the results to know what to change. Where do
I
go?
As for this client issue.... there is a pop-up telling them they are
infected with the netsky virus and to download this software, and flashing
"X" appears in the system tray, new shortcuts are put on the desktop to
the
same software. I googled for anything and someone mentioned a voipwet.dll
file that I just renamed, rebooted and the problem goes away but I suspect
there is more there I want to clean up.
Thanks for any help.
