Hi Jormungandr:

 

This link should work for you.

Oh sorry forgot the link

 

Also, list the processes run in Normal Mode NOT Safe Mode,    this will  show more .exe's running in Normal mode

Re: Unable to remove Packed.Generic.238

So, can I download it in Safe Mode and run it in normal mode? Are there any modifications needed, i.e file name changes.

 

Unfortunately, as I stated in a previous post, I'm denied access to Task Manager. Previously, I had attempted to use to stop "System Protector"  from running when it first appeared. It just flashes and closes.  Also, I tried Process Explorer, which doesn't run.

 

I'll attempt Task Manager again when I'm home. Currently at the library again. I'll be here for about 45 mins.

Speaking of Norton,  I haven't accees Norton 360 at all since "System Protector" appeared. Now, there are no warnings about P.G.328. It appears in my taskbar, but I don't know if it's even running given the lack of warning. I'll see when I get home.

Don't worry about Norton for the time being.  That will get sorted out eventually.  Rootkits don't like Norton.

Rootkit don't like anything

 

The other thing you could try is in Safe Mode,   Use the Run Feature and type     msconfig    then go to the startup tab and list all the entries.

 

I have also placed here a small Task manager alternative for now,  http://homepages.slingshot.co.nz/~crutches/Kill%20process/

Re: Unable to remove Packed.Generic.238

I'm sorry, relatives came to visit, out of the blue. Literally, "Hi, we're at the airport right now. Can you pick us up?"

 

I'm unable to run DDS and Kill Process in normal Windows XP mode. I get a prompt to run them, but nothing happens.  Norton 360 loads, but is replaced by "System Security 2009" in the tray or whatever that is near the clock.

 

Here is the list of processes for Startup I got in Safe Mode:

 

ehtray

rundll2

ARPWRMSG 

DMAScheduler

RECGUARD

 (This space is blank, but is checked)

 (This space is blank, but is checked)

HPBootOp

Communications_Helper

NvCpl

nwiz

NvMcTray

HPWuSched2

McciTrayApp

jusched

nmctxth

RTHDCPL

19432504

dumprep 0 -k

login

HP Digital Imaging Monitor

Logitech Desktop Messenger

 

How are we going to fix this if nothing seems to run?
