Gentlemen and Ladies of the Forum:

This is my first posting to this forum and should I make any political mistakes, I appologize in advance: I have tried to remove the following files without success: Note: most of the file names are similar to the one stated in the post title and some are also redundent Perflib_Perfdata_d0.dat, Perflib_Perfdata_52c.dat, Perflib_Perfdata_110.dat, Perflib_Perfdata_190.dat and DFC5A2B2.tmp. The portion marked as various in the title will change daily but, I am unable to delete them. The Properties on the files shows that they belong to Spyware Doctor, but, a response from PCtools (Mfger) tells me that they belong to ArcservIt (by Comp. Assoc.) but, I can not find any evidence of this program or file on my computer. I have run Panda,Trendmicro,Stinger Norton Express Clean, and several others including the subcription version of Spybot-S & D, Ccleaner, Registry Mechanic, Housecall,PCpitStop. The list is long. I followed your instructions and have saved the Hijackthis.log and several others which you will find attached. I would appreciate your assistance with this problem. I have seen several articles on these files some of which lead to you and some in German and French as well, but, no specific solutions to follow:

Hello and sorry for the wait.
If you are still in need of assistance please go here and post a link back to this topic to flag a helper.

If you have waited four days for advice post here. (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?p=4836#post4836)

Tashi or Help Representative:

I received a reply from PCTools which directed me to JSI site which explains the above as a file created by System Monitor. Normally these files are deleted when you reboot, but, some times a system error can cause them to be orphaned. This can also happen for no explainable reason. JSI says orphaned files of this type can be removed by doing the following (Which I do not know how to do. Please Help.) "Best way to remove is to add a command in a logon script. del/q%SystemRoot%\System32\Perflib_Perdata*.dat". Please explain how I do this and this problem I hope will be solved. While running various tools that I have noted in your posts, I have removed the following from my system 1)Rootkit 2) Swimmer Malware and several tracking cookies. I hope you will analyze my Hijacked file and see if there is anything else? I would appreciate your assistance with the instructions and the review.
Thanks very much for providing the technical support that you and the other members of the team provide. Regards, Chefbigfeet

Your logs looks fine, You should update suns java.

Why are you bothering with those Perflib_Perdata*.dat file's i suggest not messing with them

CHEFBIGFEET
2006-06-03, 08:07
Thanks for the response. When I run several scan programs these 12 or more files show up as tmp files and can't be deleted. I guess not getting a clean scan always makes me think something is wrong. I guess it is my perception.
Microsoft KB report suggest that the orphaned Perflib files should be removed.
This course of action was also suggested at JSI site (Window techies).
If possible would appreciate instructions on how to enter the Best Removal input:
Add Command in a login script "d/q%SystemRoot%\System32\Perflib_Perfdata*.dat:

Again, Thanks for the log review. Regards, Chefbigfeet

You could use a program that can delete on reboot files.
Hijackthis can do that but you cannot use wild cards such as * or ?

Good luck and surf safe
