On the start up items in Spybot SD, when I clicked on the buttons for description it says:
Filename: system 32.exe added by AGOBOT-KU worm has a blank entry under the start up item/name field.
Also have one for:
C\Windows\system32\Ctfmon.exe The description says: Coolweb Search parasite related - hijacking to slawsearch.com
I have un-checked these items. I only highlighted one item, then I clicked on the red X to delete it, A message came up saying I had chosen to delete these items - yes or no ...It scared me, I didn't know if it was going to delete everything or just the item I had highlighted - so I clicked no and decided to come here.
Also, Spybot SD did not detect these items and give me a choice to fix. I downloaded the latest detections today and ran it. I also did a full scan with Norton Anti Virus and also with Adaware SE PLUS -nothing shows up????
This AGOBOT-KU showed up after I installed TurboTax Deluxe and I couldn't download the latest updates and the Calif. State Tax program, it would only go to 12%. I got on the TurboTax site and read what they said about it - They said to stop your firewall and anti virus program, then download it and restart the programs. I didn't do that, but I did go into the Firewall and click permit all for both TurboTax settings, then they downloaded alright. Have you heard anything about TurboTax installing spyware with their program?
I have Windows XP Home with sp2 with automatic updates.
Any help will be greatly appreciated, thank you. Bonnie
