I have a pc that is getting pop-ups when visiting a known safe/clean site in IE6 on XPsp1. I've run spybot with latest updates, and it didn't pick it up. I've run HJT, and most of the lines I am able to sort out, but two are unknown to me. I've searched the various startup and BHO lists, even google, and I can't find anything on these. Hopefully someone can help. I have the whole HJT log if you need it.

under "Running Processes"
C:\Windows\System32\spxew.exe
C:\Windows\System32\soltdown.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [57Ek3sQ] spxew.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [KwxqRicqh] soltdown.exe

When I checked the files, it shows the date modified as Feb 17/05.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,
Sheri

1. Ensure that your virus checker is up to date.
2. Scan your system
------------------------

Sorry, I should have included that information. The pc is running Norton AV, it is up to date, and the scan didn't find anything. I also (just) searched the Symantec virus library, and didn't find a reference to either of these.

Thx again, Sheri

Sheri,

Please post a hijackthis log in the hijackthis forum if you haven't done so already. One of the site volunteers will help you in there.
