      If you like that one, you should try to download CleanUp! again. It has a few custom settings to it.

      Both are very powerful little programs!

          i'm still having problems downloading cleanUp452.exe. The website does offer the file in zip form, but the program is ver. 4.0. Maybe i'll try downloading the zip and check for updates.

          still scanning..............

          Odd, I have no problems with downloading the installation package.

          I just tried it and I also didn't have any problems.

          I hope you don't mind me butting in for a second, but I noticed what appears to be a PurityScan infection.  It often disguises itself as legitimate files already existing on the computer, so it's important to determine which is the correct one to delete.  Because AppPatch normally isn't in Program Files, we shouldn't have to worry about mistaken identity.  However, the question mark in the file path might be confusing ComboFix and The Avenger.  It's just a theory and I could be wrong, but it's possible that this is getting in the way of removing the files.

          solotekk,
          Copy everything inside the quote box below (starting with dir) and paste it into Notepad.  Go up to File > Save As... and click the drop-down box to change the "Save As Type" to "All Files".  Save it as findfile.bat on your Desktop.

          Quote
          dir C:\Program Files\?ppPatch /a h > files.txt
          notepad files.txt

          Locate findfile.bat on your Desktop and double-click on it.  It will open Notepad with some text in it.  Please post the contents of that Notepad file here.  If this doesn't work and the Notepad file is blank, then manually navigate to C:\Program Files and look for the ?ppPatch folder.  Look carefully because the ? is a wildcard, which means it can represent any letter.  In this case, I would expect it to be an A, but that's not guaranteed.  When you find the folder, please let us know the actual name of it and what files are inside of it.  Do not open any files that may be contained within this folder!  Only make note of the filenames!

          It feels good to be posting again.  I hated having to neglect the forum for so long, but I've been incredibly busy with life.  Things have calmed down for now, though, so I'm trying to post a bit more.  I've even been able to get some reading done!

            ok... so i did everything that chris instructed, but when i opened notepad from the desktop, of course it was blank. So i went on a search, and there is no folder named ?ppatch (or wildcard) of the sort. And all files are visible: which means no files or folders are being hidden.  Could  someone please give me more info on just what a Purityscan is? This is the first time that I am hearing of this.

            P.S. Chris, thanks for your input. Your help is appreciated as well as Evilfantasy's.

            Purity scan/clickspring http://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2003-090516-2325-99


            Is the scan stuck on a file or what? This seems like an enormous amount of time.

              i'm at 30 percent right now. i had to restart the scan again, due to a crappy wireless signal seven hours ago.  However, I have managed to find a spot that seems to be keeping a good solid signal. When I began the scan the first time, i noticed some slowness at the 19 percent mark. Plus, it stayed that way for about 35 minutes until i lost the signal.

              Please be patient.............besides, i cant fall asleep now anyways..............
              thanks
