Could Pornis.hlpr be an MSSE File???
Hi,
This machine is an older Windows XP (that we use as a spare). And while my experience somewhat similar, it definetely sounds a little different?
You see, we have Microsoft Security Essentials installed on this machine (and it has been acting very strange lately - updating a whole lot and what not). Most days like twice a day even (and when it downloads it basically freezes the machine so no other activity can take place)! And starting on the thirteenth I noticed even more updates than usual. Only this time I actually had click install for them. All of which I did and then on the following day (the 14th) I had like five or six more "Windows Updates".
Anyways they all downloaded except for one which was that of KB2267610. And thank heavens for Spybot (and me having kept it updated). Because Spybot interupted the "Microsoft Windows Update" (which if clicked on would take you to the Microsoft update website). All of which I found to be very odd? Therefore I clicked on stop/block download (as Spybot had suggested) and I scribbled down this message:
"Encountered and Terminated WIN32.RJump.C"
C:Windows\Sotware Distribution\Download\Install\MSSE Update Install- X86fre-En-US-xp.exe
So knowing that it was the KB2267610 download, I went and looked it up on the Microsoft website. Although I wasn't able to find anything on there. However, as you know Microsoft only uses Bing (the "Non-Search Engine) these days so it is much, much harder (if not impossible) to find most anything. Therefore I had no ide whether it was for real or what?
However, before I could do anything about it the download started again (without even prompting me this time). And Spybot caught it again (you guy's really are the bomb)! And this time it gave me the following message:
"Encountered and Terminated SpyMyPc"
In C:Windows\Sotware Distribution\Download\Install\MSSE Update Install- X86fre-En-US-xp.exe
At this point it was getting late so I deleted the download altogether and thought that would be the end of it. WRONG! Because when I sat down at the computer then on Friday morning (the 15th) I noticed that it had rebooted. So I knew that I was in trouble from the get go! However, let me tell you how clever this thing really is? In that, when I looked down at the bottom right hand side of the screen? I noticed that it had "Muted" the sound on the Machine (I would assume so that no one would interrupt the download)?
At any rate at that point I set about trying to find the downloads, etc. (which I have and I have even removed the one that I felt was it). However the only that did was to stop MSSE (which obviosuly wasn't working very well to begin with if it had viral downloads working through it)?
So I googled KB2267610 however all I came up with was some things written in Chinese and what appeared to be a number of other foriegn languages. Therefore I didn't even want to click on those! So I tried running Spybot and I now have the same issue as the rest of these folks! IN that, I have attempted to run Spybot (only to have it freeze at Pornis.hlpr). And I know that Spybot had been up to date prior to this as well. However, I even tried re-installing Spybot and running it again (which worked at first). But after the scan I rebooted my machine and attempted to scan again and I am right back where I started from. Therefore I hope that this helps!
Thanks!!
