Question

Windows error service: Spyware? Virus?

Asked by: Zephyr__

Hi,

I recently started getting an error message:

Title: Windows error service
Message: Windows detected Spyware on your computer. Download free spyware scanner & Remover.

Theres an OK and CANCEL button, i have not up until now clicked on the "OK" button because i have a feeling it is not an original windows error message. It pops up occasionally.

Can someone tell me what it's about and is it a legal message? Could it be a potential virus of some kind? If so how can i get rid of it or find it's executing source on my PC?

Thanks,
Zephyr__

Also use SpyBot and AdAware in tandem. Neither is 100% accurate but the two of them together get pretty close to 100% accuracy.

Hijack This http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/hijackthis.zip | Written by a member of our support forums and based on our Hijacked! article, this program scans the locations in your computer system that may be modified by browser hijackers and fixes any problems found. An easy-to-understand tutorial is available at TomCoyote.org.

BHODemon http://www.spywareinfo.com/downloads/bhod/ | Think of BHODemon as a guardian for your Internet browser: it protects you from unknown Browser Helper Objects (BHOs), by letting you enable/disable them individually. This program is my choice for BHO detection and is highly recommended.

It watches and protects the following items: IE Homepage, IE Default Page, IE Search Page, BHOs. Whenver one of the above items is changed, or a BHO is added, you are immediately provided with information on the item, along with the option to keep the change, or revert to your previous settings.

Very wise not to click the OK button like you said it doesn't appear to be legit Windows message. Perhaps it is coming from a web site you are visiting or something go installed on your system. Are you using Kaaza, if so then that is probably the culprit.

How many services.exe do you see listed? There is a legit services.exe but it doesn't run from this folder "C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\services.exe" it runs from the "C:\WINDOWS\system32\" folder

 

by: Zephyr__Posted on 2004-05-02 at 11:46:38ID: 10972744

i deleted the services.exe from

but the message still seems to pop up

Actually you should really run an antivirus scanner and AdAware/Spybot.

Hi,


O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SuperBar.Component] C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\services.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [AdRotator.Application] C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\csrss.exe


I used HiJackThis to fix these files, restarted pc and same error happens. I also deleted these files manually myself but when i restart the pc they come back! And when i run the sysconfig utility both of them files are selected on startup. when i untick them and restart they seem to appear again as selected.

Could it be another file which is somehow generating these two files?

 

by: SheharyaarSaahilPosted on 2004-05-02 at 12:29:37ID: 10972948

Downlaod these softwares and scan the system with them !!

Hi SheharyaarSaahil,

I scanned the computer using the software your recommended and i also allowed the software to fix any problems it found. But still i seem to get the error message.

Any more ideas?

 

by: SheharyaarSaahilPosted on 2004-05-02 at 14:01:41ID: 10973421

run hijackthis again, and post the log here !!

 

by: Zephyr__Posted on 2004-05-02 at 14:28:55ID: 10973495

Hi SheharyaarSaahil,


I seem to have got ridden of the message, i'm assuming one of the programs you recommended must have done it some how! I'm not sure what caused the error or exactly which software did the trick. Anyway thanks for your patience and help, appreciated.

 

by: SheharyaarSaahilPosted on 2004-05-02 at 14:33:09ID: 10973502
