By the way what is PM? I'm new.

[Shaba]

Hi

PM = private message.

Please do an online scan with Kaspersky Online Scanner. You will be prompted to install an ActiveX component from Kaspersky, Click Yes.

• The program will launch and then start to download the latest definition files.
• Once the scanner is installed and the definitions downloaded, click Next.
• Now click on Scan Settings
• In the scan settings make sure that the following are selected:
  
  o Scan using the following Anti-Virus database:
  
  + Extended (If available otherwise Standard)
  
  o Scan Options:
  
  + Scan Archives
  + Scan Mail Bases
  
• Click OK
• Now under select a target to scan select My Computer
• The scan will take a while so be patient and let it run. Once the scan is complete it will display if your system has been infected.
• Now click on the Save as Text button
• Save the file to your desktop.
• Copy and paste that information in your next post.

Note for Internet Explorer 7 users: If at any time you have trouble with the accept button of the license, click on the Zoom tool located at the right bottom of the IE window and set the zoom to 75 %. Once the license accepted, reset to 100%.

Post:

- a fresh HijackThis log
- kaspersky report

Hi

That looks like a false positive.

Let's find out:

Please make sure that you can view all hidden files. Instructions on how to do this can be found here:

How to see hidden files in Windows

Please click this link-->Jotti

When the jotti page has finished loading, click the Browse button and navigate to the following file and click Submit.

C:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\speech\wab64.dll

Please post back the results of the scan in your next post.

If Jotti is busy, try the same at Virustotal: http://www.virustotal.com/

[javijavi]

Hi!

Tried uploading the particular file...in fact many times, but failed. Message obtained from Jotti

"The file you uploaded is 0 bytes. It is very likely a firewall or a piece of malware is prohibiting you from uploading this file"

I can see the file though. It is 1022kb in size.

Pls help!

[javijavi]

My mistake the file is actually 1012kb in size and it's application extension.

[Shaba]

Hi

If you right-click it, choose Properties and Version, what does it say for Owner/Company?

[javijavi]

Hi

I dont really understand what you trying to ask me to do. However pls find below information pertaining to the file obtained from its properties :
Type = Application Extension
Opens With = Unknown application

Other info are :
location = C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Speech
size = 0.98 MB (1,036,288 bytes)
Size on disk = 0.98 MB (1,036,288 bytes)
Created = Today, December 18, 2007, 9:31:30 PM
Modified = Today, December 18, 2007, 9:31:32 PM
Assessed = Today, December 18, 2007
Attributes = Archive

Other files in the "speech" directory is sapi.dll and a "1033" folder which contain a file - spcplui.dll.
