hi, Ive rescently noticed that i cant access my Task Manager, i use Ctrl+Alt+Delete, and the window pops up.. then within a couple of seconds it disappears again! it leaves the task manager icon in the tool bar, but that disappears as well, when i move my mouse across it.. :/ any ideas would be great thanks

Rob

Go to c:\windows\system32 and copy the file taskmgr.exe to your desktop. Rename it to like something other than taskmgr.exe, for instance, testmgr.exe. Most likely, you have a version of the blaster virus, nachi or something of the sort that is not wanting you to shut down the virus. The new file should let you get into task manager and shut down the virus that is causing the problem.
You also might look into the folder c:\windows\system32\wins and erase anything that is in there (should be files such as dllhost.exe and svchost.exe) these are viruses and need to be deleted.
Next, start --> run --> msconfig --> startup tab --> deselect anything you dont want starting up, including the viruses you may have. If you cannot get into msconfig, you can reboot into safe mode by pressing f8 at startup. Then you should be able to run msconfig and configure your startup programs.
Then I would get an updated virus scan and scan for viruses and get rid of them.

firstly Ive got into Task Manager via a copy like you suggested.. it seems ive had alot of things running which i didnt know about and have no idea what they are... ive disabled a few things in my startup.. just about to restart to see if it has worked.

Are you logged onto the computer as an administrator? What permissions do you have?
As far as accessing Task Manager, the quickest, easiest way is the shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+ESC. I use it all the time.
As far as all the things running, get a copy of Hijack This. Run it and paste log file back in the forum. That will give us an idea of what's running on your computer.
It's not always a good idea to disable everything in the startup folder as a permanent solution. Many times different software and hardware requires files to run at startup to ensure they operate correctly. It's better to determine the problem and fix it from there.
Post back you Hijack This log.

Hmmm, it doesn't seem like anything's running that shouldn't be.
Have you gotten into msconfig yet? It looks like you have due to this line:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [MSConfig] C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries\MSConfig.exe /auto
What exact problems are you still having?

Looks like cool web search hijack and I am unable to find any info on that winsock2.2.exe....
Anyway try running cwshredder while offline:download here: (near bottom of page)
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html
You can also have hijack fix these entries:

Reboot when done and repost fresh log...mabye by then someone will know what that winsock2.2 is.

Righto - Ive ran the cwshredder while being offline. still getting that winsock2.2 :/ just about to post my log. thanks for all this help btw, really appreciated :)

I have just gotten rid of this trojen.
This seems to be okay thus far.Run the alternative taskmanager (as shown above) and quit the process 'Winsock2.2.exe'.
Go to c:\WINDOWS\system32\ and delete the files 'Winsock2.2.exe' and 'Winsock2.2.dll'
Go START\Run\regedit
Delete the script:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\WinsockdriverOpen the script:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell
and delete the value data 'Winsock2.2.exe'.Reboot.
TS Ed

Cheers for that... I followed your instructions and its gone now. so what exactly was that anyway? I'll post another log just so you know everthing is peachy.
Thanks

Rob Smith
You look ok now.
ts_editor
What trojan was that?...that winsock2.2 or can u give me the link to info you found?
Thanks!

Those were just the steps I used to remove the trojen.
I think this is the same virus profile:
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.spybot.dr.htmlRob>> be sure to install and run latest AV updates.
TS Ed

Hi. I had the same problem as Rob Smith. I followed all the steps you provided. I deleted the winsock.dll file, but it keeps coming back in my system32 folder.
Can you tell me how to get rid of it..Thank youChris Nagra

Chris
That winsock.dll is valid...unless your virus (if you have one) wrecked it.
The origional poster above had the files:
winsock2.2.dll
winsock2.2.exe
Is your virus scanner saying that file is infected?
I am running xp pro
Properties of that file on my machine..(it's clean)
File Version: 3.10.0.103
Description: Windows Socket 16-bit dll
Copyright: Copyright Microsoft Corp. 1981-1996
Company: Microsoft Corporation
Internal name: WINSOCK
Language: English (United States)
Origional File Name: WINSOCK.DLL
Product name: Microsoft Windows(TM) Operating System
Product Version: 3.10
WOW Version: 4.0

Yes I also had those files winsock2.2.exe and winsock2.2.dll.
My virus scanner was saying that my winsock2.2.exe was infected, but ts_editor said to delted both files..I deleted winsock2.2.exe with no problem, but when I delte winsock2.2.dll it keeps on coming back.

Know whenever I restart my computer or turn it on again it says"windows could not file file winsock2.2.exe..
HOw do I get rid of that??
THanksChris

Chris
Windows is telling you that because there is still reference to that file in the registry telling windows to start that program, since the file is missing..(you deleted it) windows will give that error.
Click start
Click run
Type regedit
Hit enter (registry editor opens)
Click the + beside each key on left to expand.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
software
micrsoft
windows
current version
runRight click the run key
Click export
Export to desktop
Call it backup
It will show file type as .reg
OKWhy you just did that is if you delete the wrong key in the next step....you have a back up. To use it if you need it..
Right click the backup.reg file on desktop and select merge...that will replace what you deleted.Now you have the run key highlighted on left
On the right look for winsock2.2 entry
Right click that...click delete
At the prompt click yes
DONT delete anything else in thereClose all those + signs you expanded earlier
Click the + beside these keys to expand
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
software
microsoft
windows
current version
run onceHilight run once
On the right side delete the reference to winsock2.2.exe (right click..delete)
Click yes to the prompt "are you sure?"
Close regedit
RebootPost back how it went...or if unsure.
Good luck

It didn't go to well. The first thing went fine-the part were u export the run.reg thing and delte the winsock2.2.exe entry, but when you told me to do this
Click the + beside these keys to expand
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
software
microsoft
windows
current version
run onceHilight run once
On the right side delete the reference to winsock2.2.exe (right click..delete)
Click yes to the prompt "are you sure?"I Noticed that there was no reference to winsock.exe to delete.
Post back
Thanks

Hi
That should be fine..the reference may not always show up there...if it wasnt there...great! As long as you got the one in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\\run.
After a reboot the entry should dissapear from the run once section but sometimes it doesn't.
The error quit when you rebooted after removing the entry from the run section?

Hi
After I rebooted my computer the entry did disappear because there was never a entry..
But, the error did NOT quit after removing the entry from the run section..it kepps saying
windows cannot find 'winsock2.2.exe.' Make sure you typed in the name correctly, and then try again
Post Back
THanks
Chris Nagra

Ok
I think the easiest way to find this is for you to download hijackthis from here:
Unzip the file to a seperate folder, run hijackthis.exe, hit scan, the scan button changes to save log button....save the log to folder you downloaded hijackthis to, copy/paste entire contents of log in reply.
Most of what you see is safe or even essential so don't fix anything yet.If that link above does not work for you...try this direct download link:

Ok here it is...

Now you have been hijacked by cool web search....
have hijack fix the following:
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer,SearchURL = http://find4u.net/spb.htm
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://find4u.net/spb.htm
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://find4u.net/indexb.htm
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = http://find4u.net/spb.htm
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchURL,(Default) = http://find4u.net/indexb.htmO4 - HKCU\..\Run: [olehelp] C:\WINDOWS\System32\olehelp.exe
Reboot and delete the olehelp.exe from:
c:\windows\system32\olehelp.exe
Then download and run CWShredder...click fix not just scan...it should clean up whatever does not show up in the hijack log.
If you have problems with the above link try the one below...sometimes the hijacker will not allow you to connect to the site. The below link is a direct download.
Direct download cwshredder.exe
Reboot, run the tool again...sometimes takes a couple swipes to remove the hijacker.
If there are any "nasty" links in your IE favorites you will be able to delete them after cleaning up. (this hijacker/trojan puts porn links in your IE favorites list)
Reboot again.
Post fresh log when done.There is a few things you need to do to prevent some of this stuff from happening...
Visit windows update, download and install SP1 and all the critical updates.
Spywareblaster is a free good program that will install a "killbit" in your registry to prevent over 1000 "bad product" downloads. Spywareblaster also needs regular updating..Once downloaded and installed; check for and download all the updates, click select all, click protect against checked items.
Another small free program that will watch your Internet Explorer for changes to home and search pages and alert you of the change, allow you to keep the change or have the program "fix it". It is called SpywareGuard...it does not take up any resorces and is worth the download. Updates are not as regular but check anyway.

Ok thanks..I did everything you said..I will post a fresh log.

Chris
Looks much better now!
I still advise you update windows...alot of these exploits/worms etc. are fixed with the service packs and other critical updates.

I got all the critical windows updates but I was getting the service pack....but an error came...it said that my product key I used to install windows is invalid....??

But I guess I can live without that....
Anyway
Thanks for all the help...I'll let oyu know if therey is any other problems
Chris

Hi I also have this other problem...I keep on gettin a windows explorer error.
How do I get rid of it??

DAMN ts_editor!!!
THANK YOU a whole lot for that one. I've been fighting this problem for days. Reading your post I realized that I was almost home and free, the only part I kept missing was this one:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell
Editing that value saved me from all errors!
Thx!
/Carpe Diem

Ya i've been fighting it for weeks...but then i found this site and most of my problems were gone...

You guys rock!
I have been searching the web for weeks for a solution for this problem, and the only page with a real, solid solution was this one! Due to your help, I was finally able to get my Task Manager back to work (and msconfig, too...a problem I hadn't even recognized before it was posted here).
However, I would appreciate it very much if you could also take a look at my log, just to be sure I really finished everything off.Thank you in advance!
