mlpj2.exe? vba05.dll? Huh!?

I ran HiJack this... just to look at my log for fun, and I saw some weird things in there. Googled them and found nothing on them. Ran Ad-Aware SE found nothing. Ran Panda Online Virus Scan, and it found Virus:Trj/Downloader.ZO. The only infected file it found was msshed32.exe.


But here are the odd entries I found.

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {A78860C8-EE1A-46DF-A97F-E3E6D433E80B} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\vba05.dll

O4 - HKCU\..\RunOnce: [mlpj2.exe] C:\WINDOWS\System32\mlpj2.exe /k

O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [mlpj2.exe] C:\WINDOWS\System32\mlpj2.exe /k


Any ideas?

 

They look like Trojans to me.

Fix them with HijackThis (assuming its in a safe folder - C:\Program Files\HijackThis)

Then, boot to Safe Mode with the viewing of hidden files enabled and DELETE:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\vba05.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\mlpj2.exe

See if that does the trick.
