Hello,

[MDP91]

any idea on how to get rid of this thing, its pissing me off now. Some people say its not a virus on a PC forum im part of, and others say it is?

What anti virus software are you running? I'd bin it off and get something decent like Bitdefender TBH.

To try and rid yourself of this I'd suggest you boot into safe mode and then re-scan and remove anything found. Also a registry cleaner, like CCleaner, wouldn't hurt.

More than likely Mytob or loadwatcher (if it's loadwatcher and you have a webcam, you've probably been watched whilst having a FAP PMSL). Either way once your system is clean change your passwords ASAP.

You could try downloading Hijack This too and posting your log file.

Test.exe is a mass-mailing worm W32.Stubbot.A@mm.
Test.exe opens a back door on TCP port 6677.
Test.exe spreads via open network shares.
Test.exe tries to terminate antiviral programs installed on a user computer.
Test.exe monitors user Internet activity and private information.
It sends stolen data to a hacker site.

Basically you're doomed lol.

are you running XP?

This might work on Vista aswell but i hate vista and dont use it.

Anyway, go to Start and All Programs, Then Startup, if test.exe is in there delete it from there, restart your pc, problem solved hopefully

If not, go to www.ccleaner.com and download that, install it and run it, go to Tools then Startup, locate the wee b*****d and delete it.

Problem solved again

Ive removed it from my starup, also, Ive ran registry cleaners, ran the disk error check , defragged. I am using F-Secure 2008 atm, and I have done a scan and it found and removed 3 viruses, yet this thing still comes up.

Start > run. Type in "msconfig" (without the quotes) and press enter.
Click on the startup tab. Expand the "command" column so that you can see the paths to all the components that are being loaded up in the background at startup.
Untick anything that you don't recognise (or want for that matter).
Then if there's anything suspicious, browse to the file path and delete the file that's being launched. If you can't, use task manager to force quit the process first. Then empty your recycle bin once the file is deleted.
Now reboot your computer.
When you log back into Windows you'll get a box which says "System Configuration Utility.... etc..." There's a box to tick which prevents that dialogue from appearing next time you start the computer up. Put a tick in it, then click "close".

If that doesn't work, start the computer up in safe mode and do it. It should work then.
