System 32 folder

R

Ross

Any reason my system 32 folder pops up first no matter who logs on? Only 2
things in my startup folder is an MsWorks calendar reminder and a program
called "updater". After tracking "updater" down it is in the
C:\programs\common files and that has an icon that says "sui MFC
application". My suspicions are that this should not be here.....

My XP Home has been up and running 14 months and has all the updates
installed. I've used Spybot religiously and it seems to catch most
everything but this system 32 popup has me a bit stumped!

Any help suggestions welcome!!

Thanks,

Ross

Hi Ross,

System32 Folder Opens When Logging on to Windows
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=170086

However, there are a few other possible causes. Could you please export and
post the contents of these keys in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

To do this, start/run regedit, expand the branches to each key (do this one
at a time). Click on the key, then on file/export. Give it any name, then
save to the desktop. Once you have saved both keys, close the registry
editor. Right-click one of the saved files on the desktop, choose edit, it
should open in notepad. Click edit/select all/edit/copy. Open a response to
this post and click in the message text area. Hit ctrl+v to paste the
contents. Repeat for the other saved key, then send the post for
examination.

Hi Ross,

Delete these two:

"pytbxqor"="C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\mnqwmpwg.exe"

Then reboot, see what happens. I suspect both may be trojans.

Hi Ross,

Ok, the rest of the entries look ok.

1) A question: Do you have any Norton Products installed?

2) Try deleting the updater.exe file from the startup folder (just leave it
in the recycle bin for now, do not permanently delete it).

3) Also, let's expand the search a bit. Start/run msinfo32, expand the
software environment and click on the startup programs. Click edit/select
all/edit/copy, and (same as before) open a new post and use ctrl+v to paste
the contents.

Thanks....actually I do not have Norton, guess its time to put it on. I took
it off when I put on XP and set my system up as a RAID 0. Bad move on my
part. I did a check online at the Norton site and it found the following on
my system: W95.Hybris.Plugin , W95.Hybris.worm, Backdoor.Imiserv,
Downloader.MSCache , Trojan dropper and Trojan.Sinkin infecting a total of 7
files....anyway my startup is below. Thanks again!!

Hi Ross,

1) No, you misunderstand. Do not reinstall Norton's. It is known to cause
this problem, which is why I asked.

2) Wupdater.exe is a problem as well, hit ctrl+shift+escape and end task on
it. Then search the system for it and delete any files and shortcuts
identified as wupdater.exe.

System32 Folder Opens When Logging on to Windows
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=170086

However, there are a few other possible causes. Could you please
export
and
post the contents of these keys in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

To do this, start/run regedit, expand the branches to each key (do
this
one
at a time). Click on the key, then on file/export. Give it any name,
then
save to the desktop. Once you have saved both keys, close the registry
editor. Right-click one of the saved files on the desktop, choose
edit,
it
should open in notepad. Click edit/select all/edit/copy. Open a
response
to
this post and click in the message text area. Hit ctrl+v to
paste
the
contents. Repeat for the other saved key, then send the post for
examination.

O.K.....found everything that had wupdater.exe or updater with it and sent
it to recycle bin....still no luck. Should I do a registry search for the
key entries and see what shows? Thanks!

Hi Ross,

1) No, you misunderstand. Do not reinstall Norton's. It is known to cause
this problem, which is why I asked.

2) Wupdater.exe is a problem as well, hit ctrl+shift+escape and end task on
it. Then search the system for it and delete any files and shortcuts
identified as wupdater.exe.

Thanks....actually I do not have Norton, guess its time to put it on. I took
it off when I put on XP and set my system up as a RAID 0. Bad move on my
part. I did a check online at the Norton site and it found the following on
my system: W95.Hybris.Plugin , W95.Hybris.worm, Backdoor.Imiserv,
Downloader.MSCache , Trojan dropper and Trojan.Sinkin infecting a total
of
7
files....anyway my startup is below. Thanks again!!

Hi Ross,

Ok, the rest of the entries look ok.

1) A question: Do you have any Norton Products installed?

2) Try deleting the updater.exe file from the startup folder (just
leave
it
in the recycle bin for now, do not permanently delete it).

3) Also, let's expand the search a bit. Start/run msinfo32, expand the
software environment and click on the startup programs. Click edit/select
all/edit/copy, and (same as before) open a new post and use ctrl+v to paste
the contents.

No go.....still comes up to the system 32 window. A quick check of
the
reg
entry shows that the items did not re appear at least. I'm game for
anything else!

Hi Ross,

Delete these two:

"oqgjffqk"="C:\\WINDOWS\\ucsyvfhi.exe"

"pytbxqor"="C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\mnqwmpwg.exe"

Then reboot, see what happens. I suspect both may be trojans.

Any reason my system 32 folder pops up first no matter who logs
on?
Only
2
things in my startup folder is an MsWorks calendar reminder
and
a
program
called "updater". After tracking "updater" down it is in the
C:\programs\common files and that has an icon that says "sui MFC
application". My suspicions are that this should not be here.....

My XP Home has been up and running 14 months and has all the
updates
installed. I've used Spybot religiously and it seems to catch
most
everything but this system 32 popup has me a bit stumped!

Any help suggestions welcome!!

Thanks,

Ross
