I keep getting an error message when trying to shut down that XP can't close
lomoflhc.exe. I have searched my files and can find no such program. I
have searched the web and found no such program either. Does anyone know
what this program is and why it wouldn't shut down (end task).

Thanks, in advance.

Hi Chris

Have you virus-checked your system with the latest definitions for your AV program and also checked for any spyware that may be on your system:

Ad-Aware - www.lavasoftusa.com
Spybot - http://www.safer-networking.org/
CWShredder - http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html

Try SpyWareBlaster to stop intrusions:

Hi,

It's a trojan (virus). Follow these "relatively" simple removal steps:

Restart in Safe mode by hitting F8 as Windows first begins to load on boot.
Logon as administrator.

Start/search/files and folders, look for lomoflhc.exe and delete it wherever
it is found.

Start/run regedit, expand the + signs to look under these keys:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg

Look in the right hand pane for the string or strings that load that file.
Delete just those strings that contain the reference. Do not delete other
strings or the keys from the left pane. Close the registry editor when
completed, make sure you check all strings.

Go to the Control Panel/System/System Restore tab. Check the box to "Turn
off system restore on all drives". Click apply/ok. This will remove all
restore points, however you don't want them back as some or all of them will
contain the virus depending upon how recently you got infected.

Restart the system normally. Go back to the Control Panel/System and restart
System Restore.

Update your antivirus software.

Thank you, everybody who tried to help with my problem. The fix didn't work
either though. I finally reformatted the hard drive, and installed XP
again. Eventhat didn't do the trick, because everytime I downloaded the
updates from mocrosoft.com, I would get the virus back again, and it
wouldn't let me get rid of it. I finally found a fix program, which I ran.
Then I got all the updates from Symantec again, and then tried once more
(the 3rd or 4th time) to download the updates from Microsoft. I think I got
it working this time. Now I hae to add everything else into my computer all
over again. No fun at all!!! But at least I got rid of that
W32.blaster.worm..

Thanks again.

Chris
