WToolsS.exe; WToolsA.exe; WSup.exe: they won't stop running
WToolsS.exe; WToolsA.exe; WSup.exe: they won't stop running! I think I've been infested. I've run Norton, Spybot, and Ad-aware, nothing helps. What can I do? I'm using XP and when I push Ctrl-Alt-Del and look at Processes these files as well as WISPTIS.exe keep poping up. WToolsS.exe shows the User Name: SYSTEM. I'm on a six week work trip to New Zealand and did not get this until I started on the local dialup provider.
Usually in Myrtle Beach, SC,
While you're on the subject..
Hey, I've read this thread a few times, and I'm the more cautious type. I've never posted things like this before, so I'm a bit weary of these things. Yes, I am having a problem with wtoolsa, even though I've never run the program. Unless it runs in the background or something. I have a few questions I'd like to ask before I get help with this problem, if you don't mind that is.
1) Where did I get wtoolsa? Did it come with windows, or did it somehow download off the net? I don't remember installing this program.
2) Somehow, my windows install disk got dammaged. I kept it in a nice hard shell CD case along with all my other program disks, but by odd twist of fate, it was the only one dammaged. So knowing this, would deleting wtoolsa (with your help) cause my computer to completely crash?
3) My friend posted the question earlyer in another forum, and was told to scan my computer with this http://209.133.47.200/~merijn/files/HijackThis.exe Should I run this as well as follow Murray's advice of using the 'add/delete programs' tool?
I guess that's it for me,
Tsume, aka Daron
UPDATE! I think I solved my own problem, thanks to reading this thread, thanks!
alright i used your link and..
heres the log.. Im pretty sure i would have to delete the wintoolsB.dll or whatever but im not gonna remove anything without youre 100% help saying that is the right one. i dont want my computer to crap out on me. The help is really appriciated!
