Adware Generic EMG

[Coyotegonemad]

Hi All,

New to this forum, but not new to Spybot, think its a great tool. I have a problem, and not sure that here's where to ask about it. I run spybot, and dont find this Adware, but do find it on my anti virus. It is located in system32 file, C:\WINDOWS\system32\r?ndll.exe, but if i try to do a search for it, of course, i come up empty. It will delete, however, it returns, almost immediately. (I'm not the most computer literate person). HELPPPPPPPP

Thanks
Coyotegonemadddddddddd

Hello

Welcome to the forum
Post or attach a SSD 1.4 report please

Open SpyBot 1.4, check for and get any updates available, close all browsers, check for problems and fix everything found. Then on the toolbar menu select mode and switch to advanced mode, on the left lower down select tools,and view report, ensure all the options are select near the bottom except
Uncheck[ ] do not report disabled or known legitimate Items,
uncheck[ ] Include a list of services in report.
Uncheck[ ] Include uninstall list in report.
Now select (near the top) view report, Press export, in the save in box choose a place such as your my documents folder, then in your next post near the bottom select the "browse" button , navigate to and attach or post that report please.

Also Make and run this simple batch file please.
Launch Notepad, and copy/paste the bolded below into a new text file. Save it as FindFile.bat and save it on your Desktop.

dir C:\WINDOWS\system32\r?ndll.exe /a h > files.txt
notepad files.txt

Locate FindFile.bat on your Desktop and double-click on it. It will open Notepad with some text in it. Please post the text here.

Hi,

I have the same problem spybot can not find the adware but AVG 7.5 does and deletes the files straight after bootup but then the files keep coming back and I am still having the adware poping up all the time GRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Sometimes I can not turn off my PC because it says: Setpoint gaming running or Panel Popup running.

Anybody got any answers.

Cheers

Hello kurtbarrington.

The log you posted is a partial one showing only Startup entries, however it does show a very old version of Sun Java is on the PC making it susceptible to infection:

file: C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_03\bin\jusched.exe

Please do the following so someone can take a look at a closer look at the system.

Follow the procedure in this link: "BEFORE you POST" -Preliminary Steps

Make sure you run the on-line anti virus scanner. Then start your own thread in the Malware Removal Forum

Once you have posted a helper will advise you as soon as available.

Cheers.

Sun Microsystems~Java. Security vunerability in older versions left on system

When I ran a computer search, I found the adware.generic problem in the Spybot folder.
When I removed Spybot from ADD/REMOVE Programs, restarted my computer, went to C: drive, Program Files folder and completely removed the Spybot folder, I got rid of all my adware.generic problems. Adware was inside the Spybot folder and planted 20 ad viruses on my registry.
I now us Yahoo CA spy program.

Hi,

I have the same problem spybot can not find the adware but AVG 7.5 does and deletes the files straight after bootup but then the files keep coming back and I am still having the adware poping up all the time GRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Sometimes I can not turn off my PC because it says: Setpoint gaming running or Panel Popup running.

Anybody got any answers.

Cheers

When I ran a computer search, I found the adware.generic problem in the Spybot folder. ...

What software did you find that with? If that software produces a listing of the detection, can you post it?
