Post Post subject: Howdy! So, what the heck are these? Reply with quote

Following a removal of a Vundo trojan, I noticed a few new files in my processes tab that leads me to believe that my removal work wasn't complete. That's another post, but here are the programs I'm curious about:

vajmfsjo.exe (usually uses between 2-6 k of memory, but apparently doesn't try to connect to the internet. Doesn't seem to be caught by other AV/AS programs either!)

scchk32.exe (this one's brand new, just popped up today. This one DID try to connect to the internet, but norton firewall caught it and I disallowed it.)

I will be making a post in the Hijack This forum about the horrific problems my system has, apparently, but I'd like to know what the heck these are before I do anything to them.

Hi Wespennest. Welcome to the 2-Spyware.com forums!

Those files are definitely malicious.

Please download the HijackThis program, run a scan and post your log here, so that I could assist you in removal.

Make sure you use HijackThis 1.99.1, not the latest 2.0.0 BETA.
