I just followed all the steps explained at http://www.greyknight17.com/spyware.htm and now i need help. I'm still afraid to be infected or to get infected again.
I'm doing this Spyware/Virus check cause i find my internet connection to be anormal ... i have way too many data uploading at all times. And also because i always fail to log in to my account at Hotmail.com, i get a blank page after confirming my handle and password. Yet i can access any other website (secure or not) !!!
My ZoneAlarm always warns me about "sysdrv.exe", "16winupdate32.exe" and the "Generic Host Process for Win32 Services", but if i stops those programs i have no acces to the web at all. What to do !?
I posted my most recent HTJ log file here ... http://greyknight17.com/bb/index.php?topic=63.0 ... if it can help
Thanx

These files are bad and must be dealt with now:
16winupdate32.exe is beagle variant
int114844.exe is spyware
SYSDRV.EXE Worm Then it connects to virus author site and downloads additional components to the local machine to e-mail automatically. The additional files will be stored in the name of SYSDRV.exe and SYSTMP.DLL in Windows directory - very bad
Go to www.housecall.antivirus.com and run their on-line AV scan
Download, install and run: AD AWARE, SPYBOT and TROJAN HUNTER from
http://www.trojanhunter.com/
These programs are responsible for all your upload activity. I'd suggest you address these immediately, or at least disconnect from the NET until you can.

Can you send these"sysdrv.exe,16winupdate32.exe"with compressed file to me?i will check them
Send suspecied file to me with compressed file.my email:virus@shanguo.com

"Collecting" viruses is hopefully just another name for studying them, as that's how it's done.
Get an older Windows box, with a Pentium 1 processor and some RAM and load up and there are some analytical programs that even assist in researching.

Well there are some people who collect viruses for...hell I dunno, sport, as one would collect stamps or coins...
There are others who collect them to use them against others...

EC, you said:
"some analytical programs that even assist in researching."Do you have the names or links for any of those programs? I'd like to find something like that.
Thanks.
