Hi,

Just posting this in the hope that someone else might
have had the same problem. I think that my computer is
pretty secure, as windows goes, but when I switched it on
today (XP home) my firewall told me that a new program,
(c:\windows\cehjdg.exe) was trying to access the
internet. Mmmmm.... OK I don't know what this is or where
on earth it has come from (PC was fine yesterday) so
say "no". Computer hangs for 2-3 minutes, then seems OK,
except that the single or double mouse click to open
applications doesn't work - rather it open properties. So
to open applications I have to right click and then
select open. And of course the submit button on web forms
don't work either. Grr...

To get around this I have:
1) rebooted, no joy
2) ran ad-aware (upto date ver 6), no joy
3) done antivirus scan (upto date Norton AV), no joy
4) ran norton windows doctor, no joy
5) searched google and microsoft web site
for "cehjdg.exe.", nothing found
5) tried to delete the file - already in use.
6) went to safe mode and deleted file OK. Computer now
seems to be working OK

Strange, but although the file was marked as being
created today, through explorer it has a timestamp of
22/6/02, 08:17.

Anyone come across this problem? My computer is working
fine at present which is the main thing of course, but
I'd really like to know what is going on.

Seems like you may have cured it, but you should look in msconfig
and use the registry editor to see if you can find a reference
To it. Is it possible you got infected thru an email?
Here's a good inline scan:

turn on all the options, including heuristic.

Thanks Dave - no reference to the file in the windows
startup files or the registry. Weird. Could possibly have
come from an email I guess but I have up to date Norton
AV which should have intercepted it or found it I'd have
thought.
Not sure about the panda soft software yet - will have to
check out whether it could interfere with the NAV or add
anything that NAV might miss.
Cheers,
Steve
