MNBCML32.EXE - notify alert message

S

shampiaj

I have a machine that posts a popup notify alert message
on windows startup. The error message has to do with the
file MNBCML32.EXE. I cannot find any information on this
particular file anywhere on the internet.

The machine is a dell desktop and was purchased with all
existing hardware and software. It has windows XP home
installed.

Already checked the processes and startup tabs in task
manager with no mention of this file. Any help
identifying this file would be appreciated. Thanks.

Since Google doesn't return any hits for "MNBCML32.EXE", this is
probably a malware file. Do the normal malware removal routine:

Scan with a current antivirus program (meaning a version not earlier
than 2003 using updated virus definitions). Also, remove spyware with
Spybot Search & Destroy from www.safer-networking.org and Ad-aware from
www.lavasoftusa.com. Be sure to update these programs before running
them. These programs are free, so run them both since they complement
each other. It is best to run antivirus and spyware removal tools in
Safe Mode. You may also want to run CWShredder and HijackThis from
http://aumha.org/freeware.htm. Although CWShredder is no longer being
updated, it will still clean older variants of the CoolWebSearch
malware. A combination of HijackThis and About:Buster
(http://www.majorgeeks.com) works well in removing homepage hijackers.
Please read the instructions carefully. Make sure you are able to see
all hidden files and extensions (View tab in Folder Options). Also,
make sure you've visited Windows Update and applied all security
patches. Do not install driver updates from Windows Update. Make sure
you are running a firewall.
