dload.exe

I used Grisoft AVG Free edition and Hijack This to solve this problem. Go to your C:windowssystem folder when AVG detects dload.exe have it delete it then run Hijack This, click do a system scan then click the config tab then misc tools tab then click the open process manager tab then look for the c:windows system1727C53B.exe file click on it then click the Kill Process tab now go to c: windowssystem and the system 32 folders and delete the 1727C53B.exe files.

This was acomplished after I had scanned my system in safe mode with Ad-AwareSE personal and AVG which took care of 64 viruses and 300 some spywares. Then by using Hijack This I was able to narrow it down to the 1727C53B.exe file by seeing what processes were running (run hijack this,click system scan,config tab, misc tools tab) so take a good look for anything suspicous. It was the 1727C53B.exe file that kept reloading the dload.exe file for me but I suppose it could be named something else, don't really know, not an expert.

I also used Win Patrol to help with some problems which you might find helpful by running msconfig and turning off the start up files then install win patrol,run msconfig again and choose the normal startup and restart. Win Patrol will detect the start up process and ask you what you want to allow.

GOOD LUCK spent about 8 hours on this hope this helps.

Just download the remover from my site and kill that crappy software.

let me know if it works for you or not ...

While I try to find a permanent solution I've overwritten both dload and prvdi with dummy text files of the same name (ie dload.exe and prvdi.exe). It is working - every so often I enjoy a snigger whenever something triggers prvdi and all that happens is that an empty DOS window is launched

spysweeper found i but could not remove it for me.

I booted in safe mode and removed dload.exe and prvdi.exe from c:windowsystem32 and it seems to be gone

DLOAD.EXE and PD7.EXE must be deleted after ending the task of DLOAD.EXE and PD7.EXE in task manager. Also delete PD7.EXE and DLOAD.EXE in the registry entry.

It's gone!!! I previously posted on 02/02/2005 at 17:02:06. I followed Tom's advice (post right after mine). dload.exe is apparently only part of the problem. prvdi.exe is, I think, the bigger problem. Here is the text of the link that Tom refers to on the post below at 02/02/2005 at 23:02:20.<br />

DO IT!!! It works. Thanks, Tom

I have downloaded spyhunter to rove the dload.exe trojan it is not picking it up what do I do

After 4day-war I found some helpful way.
Firewall(I use Sygate) is the answer.
Some info told me dload.exe is auto-dialup program connected to porn site
and related with prvdi.exe, 127021.exe.
I had prvdi.exe also.

1. Delete dload.exe with Avast, prvdi.exe manually
2. Change Firewall Advanced Rules. Add prvdi.exe. in/out blocked.

After this job, nothing happened during 2 days.
I think firewall disconnect auto-signal dload.exe/prvdi.exe to remote site so they can't work maybe.
Try this and tell me what happen. Good luck ^^*

I did what it said and it worked for me ... Its not that hard too .. Good luck .. <br />
<br />
One more thing ,, I did what it said to do TWO times .. You should also ..Tom

We have the same problem. If anyone knows how to get rid of it, please post!

I have it too, and can't get rid of it. Norton AV detects it, can't remove it, Symantec's instructions for manual removal don't work. Looked around, tried a few things, nothing. When NAV detects it, it says it's a form of dialer.tibs. I did find a post here
http://www.uwm.edu/~bobtreat/messages/412.shtml from 1/1/2005, which states as follows:

this has the stuff to remove the TIBS dialer, both the regular TIBS dialer from the actual TIBS Dialer site, and the third party hacked dialer...
enjoy

I'm afraid to try this, because I don't think we can trust this company, but also because a later post said it didn't work. If anyone else has the balls to try it or finds something else please post.

yeah, this thing pisses me off -_- It doesn't seem to actually do anything other than set off my Avast antivirus, which seems to block it just fine. But I'd still like to get rid of it, so anyone with any info on deletion wanna post please? -_-

I'm having the same problem . I have spent MANY hours trying to get rid of this thing ( dload.exe ) . If anyone figures it out please post it ,, Thanks ,,,

my Avast antivirus will every so often pop up a window telling me I have a Win32:Trojan-gen on my machine. I will put it in the chest or delete it, but within a half hour or so, Avast will pop up the window again. I don't know what this spyare does other than serve as an irritant to me.

no matter how many times it is detected and deleted, it bounces right back from the recycle bin back into the hard drive!
