Comment: Hey everyone,
I have some weird processes in my task manager: WebRebates1.exe, WebRebates0.exe, WinAdAlt.exe, and WinAdCtl.exe there might even be more, those just stand out. Are these trojans? Should I post a Hijack Log so ppl can check it and tell me what's up? Thanks, Matt Kick some ass man

Reply: (edit)Look in your Add/Remove for WebRebates and WinAd. Also use Spybot and Ad-Aware (you can ge them at download.com).

Reply: (edit)Vicious malware at the very least. I got infected with WinAdAlt.exe and WinAdCtl.exe. These files will automatically restart themselves (their process) if stopped, and in task manager (WinXP Pro) dance around so as to slow you down. Provided a task is running, one is unable to do anything to the file (move, delete, rename etc). However, I managed to open these files in an editor, delete all code and (very quickly) stop the process and save the empty file. Hence making the file inert. I believe hijacker or spyware removal tools would also probably fix it. regards Justin
