SpyWare / Remote Monitors w/ hidden files

[ Edited ]

I have discovered the presence of a remote monitoring software program on my personal computer.  Norton did not discover this program, though it is listed in your database with known registry keys and files.  I downloaded other software as suggested in a prior post and both programs identified the remote monitoring program, though Norton still had not.

 

Is there a way to specify several files that you wish to block?  The special circumstance here is that the files are hidden and I was only able to view them in the registry.  You can not select them from a list of running processes because they aren't listed there.  You would have to manually enter the file name and ask Norton to block it.

 

Any ideas?

 

(I am using Windows XP, disabled Windows Firewall and use Norton's, automatic live updates, automatic microsoft updates)

Hi

 

Do you have the name given for your infection??

 

Also tick the "show hidden files and folders" and the one for "protected system files". Now you will be able to see hidden folders.

And then with Show Hidden files and folders etc selected find these files.

 

C:\Documents and Settings\(All Users or individual)\Local Settingslocal_settings\ temp\ atww_340_693a.exe   C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ config\ atuvp\ ccp.dll

Re: SpyWare / Remote Monitors w/ hidden files

Thank You!  I will attempt at home this evening. 

 

Do you know why Norton would not have identified this?

Is there any way to tell when it was installed?

 

Thank You for all of your help and your promptness!!  :womanhappy:

Re: SpyWare / Remote Monitors w/ hidden files

I contacted Awareness Technology.  The program was installed without my knowledge or consent.  They want $79 to investigate and will refund if they find that the program should not have been installed.  Way to go :womanmad:

The " Config" folder  like in this entry 

 

"C:\WINDOWS\system \ config\ atuvp\ procdrv.sys  "  could be  C:\WINDOWS\system32\config, instead of  the "system" folder.

Alot of security products for the home don't detect this legit type of software, as people complain that it's detecting it when they don't want it to.  If the Company that makes the software was doing some sort of under handed things via the software then it would probably be added to the likes of Norton detection as unwanted software etc..

 

It's like Counterspy Home does not detect this, but Counterspy Enterprise does.

 

Unsure if you would be able to find when it was installed, maybe if you find a file, right click it and click properties.
