[RESOLVED] Disable proquota.exe

[popman]

I just got beat up pretty bad by a trojan that came in an email, which it took me a week to hopefully clean all of it out. I did however have to repair windows with my repair option on setup. My only problem left is for some reason I have this proquota.exe popup that loads when xp does. I can end process and it goes away until I reboot again. It has to be ended before I can shut down or reset. Basically when it pops up it says that I have used too much memory in my profile, which I had no problem before with it. I want to disable it! I found nothing in any other threads here and would appreciate some ideas.

thanks

popman--Proquota.exe is a Windows file, so should be legitimate.
Perhaps these references will be of help to zero in on the problem

If not, look into msconfig (Start|Run|type msconfig|OK|Startup tab). Is proquota one of the programs starting at boot? If so uncheck the box to the left|Apply|OK.

Hahahahaha....never happened to me.....LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

It doesn't appear that poledit.exe exists in my computer it looks like an NT version. I did however already see the MS link earlier today where you have to email them for the hotfix(last resort). This thing turned on somehow by itself, cause I didn't do it. So there should be another way to turn it off.
btw, way to go broni

Should be in C:\WINDOWS\system32 - 49.0 KB - ver. 5.1.2600.5512
C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386
C:\WINDOWS\$NtServicePackUninstall$

I saw the right click thing earlier today but there is no securities command in that menu. Train I have the location but I am unsure of what you want me to do with the other 2 C:\ directories

[Train]

Those are the three directories that I find it.

And i posted the version number just one time as each is the same.

More of a info post and a just in case if the one is bad as to where you can find a replacement.

[popman]

What would happen if I deleted all instances of it? Would I just end up with a buch of errors? I found the prefetch and the dll files too.

Install, and run it.
Post HijackTHis log.

I'd like to see, what's loading there.

[Train]

I go along with the HJT log.

[popman]

I have never posted HJT log. I would guess it goes in that forum and can I just copy paste it. And it is ready to go...

[Broni]

Yes, copy, and paste.
