NTJK.exe - 24 Jun 2005 20:29 GMT
I'm running Windows Me and Spy Sweeper.  Spy Seeper is giving me a message
that a file, NTJK.exe will run when Windows starts.  Is anyone familiar with
this file?  Is there a way to delete this file.  I can't delete it when
Windows is running.

You've been hijacked.  NTJK.exe is almost certainly an unwanted file and
may with others form make up an unwelcome visitor.

As a first action try booting to Safe Mode and see if you can delete this
file.  Also empty your Temporary Internet Files and Windows\Temp folder.

This might be a good time to download yourself a copy of the free Ad-Aware
SE Personal edition from Lavasoft
(http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) and also SpyBot Search &
Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/) and use them to check your
system for other commercial parasites remembering that they are only as
good as when you last updated their reference files.  I also use a program
called BHODemon (http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm that
checks for unwanted Browser Help Objects and SpywareBlaster
(http://www.wilderssecurity.net/spywareblaster.html) which can help
prevent some parasites getting a grip on your PC.

Just is case the problem is due to a new version of the CoolWebSearch
parasite you might want to download and run the CWShredder which targets
that specific parasite. Unfortunately neither AdAware or SpyBot seem to be
able as yet to fully detect all the various versions of the CoolWebSearch
parasite as it keeps changing.  The latest version of CWShredder can be
downloaded (free) from
http://www.intermute.com/spysubtract/cwshredder_download.html

Finally if you still continue to experience problems download a copy of
HijackThis from (http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html).
Create a folder called HJT on C: (not on your desktop nor in your temp
folder) and copy the file you downloaded to that folder. Close as many
applications as you can including all instances of Internet Explorer.
Enable Explorer to see all files and folders (Tools | Folder Options |
View and check "Show hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide protected
operating system files") and then run hijackthis.exe and post back the log
to the HijackThis Forum at http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php?f=30 and
hopefully this
will enable someone to identify the cause of your problem.
