Today my Norton AV software notified me that i had a "backdoor.trojan" on my system infecting the file "loadcfg32.exe" within my D:\Windows\System32 folder. It couldn't repair the file nore gain access to it, so all i could do was remove it. I sent it to a floppy disk (incase the system needed the file, and for other purposes) and rebooted doing another system scan and this time everything was fine.
My question though is what is the loadcfg32.exe file, and what is it for?
Do i need it, and is there a way of getting the file cleaned?
Like i say i have it on floppy, would it be good to send it to Symantec?

All I found on this is a German site related to trojans.I did not see it listed as any windows program.I would keep floppy handy just in case.

This artical was talk about before.

The loadcfg32.exe is not part of Windows that I am aware of since I have tried to search for it and none was found.

The search including hidden folders/files.

I discovered this after running a Norton virus scan on WINXP Pro.

I also noticed that the "Security" tab is no longer available on the XP file/folder Properties sheet. Weird! Any one have any ideas? Feel free to Email me directly, that would be great.

i'm not sure what this does either, but I came accross this file when my zonealarm said it was trying to access the internet. As far as I can remeber, the only programs I installed were system mechanic, and specifically the incenerator utility that comes with it. It is ment to throughly wipe any file from your harddrive. Anyway, whenever I "incenerate" something, this loadcfg32 thing attempts to acces the internet. So it's a pretty safe assumption that it is connected to this. What type of information or for what purposes can only be guessed at, but I have a feeling that it's nothing good. It also attempts to connect spurratically (i don't really know how often, or if it's a set interval), but I use zonealarm and do not allow it access to the internet. Not sure if I should delete it, but I am going to report it to the people at ad-aware and see what they make of it. My 2 cents, later.

I was wrong. I have no idea what this came bundled with. It attempts to acces the internet every few seconds and that was about how long it takes that incinerator program to work, so it just was timed odd. Anyway, I use Windows ME, and the only way that I could remove this was by going into the registry becasue the file was always in use. Go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / Microsoft / Windows / CurrentVersion / RunServices /" and the registry value is "Configuration Loader." Delte that then restart your computer. Then go to C:\Windows\System\Loadcfg32.exe and delete it. My comptuer still works fine, so this is in no way an important file. If it pops back up again i'll try to figure out exactly what it is bundled in, but for now just be happy with the solution. Later.

all depends of using sprotecting program "DBC_WinRAR_v2.90_(final)_Patch"

I had this virus, i think it should be safe to delete because when I checked the properties of the file, there was nothing to say that this is linked in anyway to microsoft.
