Darn winlogin.exe
I just can't get rid of winlogin.exe. It shows up in the hijack this log as:
04 - Global Startup: winlogin.exe
One other questionable log file:
020 - Winlogon Notify: igfxcui - C:\Windows\System32\igfxsrvc.dll
I have gotten mixed reviews on this one. Doing a Google search it comes up as an Intel graphics dll file.
I have tried deleting the winlogin.exe from hijack this in safe mode but it says I can not delete it because it is a running process. Stop the process in Task Manager and then try to delete it. Nothing shows up in Task Manager.
It shows up in two places when I do a search.
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\winlogin.exe
and
C:\Windows\pss\winlogin.exeCommon Startup
Doing a search in the registry it shows up in:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupfolder\C:^Documents and Settings^All Users^Start Menu^Programs^Startup^winlogin.exe
I also had a bout with WorldAntiSpy and right underneath the winlogin.exe in the registry is:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupfolder\C:^Documents and Settings^All Users^Start Menu^Programs^Startup^WorldAntiSpy.Ink
I have run multiple virus scans as well as Adaware, Spybot and Ccleaner all in safe mode.
Can I delete both strings (winlogin and WorldAntiSpy) from the registry and then delete the winlogin.exe files from Windows?
