I'm guessing this would go in this forum, feel free to move if I'm wrong. Okay, so today McAfee comes up and tells me that its found some trojans and wants to scan. No biggie, a few bad cookies on my parrent's temporary internet and a keylogger. Cleaned em out easy. But it also would somthing up with winlogon.exe. Actualy, it listed it twice...same program, but wouldnt that mean more than one virus (event hough the name is the same..) anyways. It says its infected by StartPage-DK. Well one instance says its the Trojan name, the other says Memory Trojan Name. But, I'm assuming its just the same thing anyways. As winlogon.exe is an important file I guess, it can't be deleted. It also can't be cleaned for whatever reason. Thanks McAfee. Quarantining hasn't done a thing either. It just came back. So basicly I'm asking...am I screwed? Is this a big deal, and even if it isn't how do I get rid of this usualy I don't have much trouble with viruses..so this is kinda an odd situation for me, and I don't wanna loose my PC or nothing thanks. edit: that's what I was talking about btw with two instances...but its the same program/file for both (winlogon.exe) (edited by MajinBlueDragon on 06-06-04 11:56 AM) |

Heh You can restart your computer in normal mode by pressing F4 before the Windows loading screen. Doing this will probobly let you delete the file. |

I had something like that on my computer. What I would do is Google for Startpage-DK. Hopefully, the first few things that pop up will be instructions for dealing with it specifically, and possibly removal tools as well. | |||

Try getting Spysweeper and running it. It picks up on Trojans like this. | |||

winlogon.exe is a system file, so you'll probably have to restore it. The Recovery Console on the XP install CD (or DOS on older versions) should be able to do this. |
