Swapx

I seem to have contracted SWAPX and can not get rid of the damn thing. I have run virus scan with Norton and also spykiller. It removes the problem until the next time I log in. Does anyone know how to get rid of this once and for all. It seems to be in the winlogin.exe somewhere.

 

Hi Mark,

Please start HERE:
READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan and Virus Removal

Note the steps that you can and cannot complete. Please make sure that you are in Safe Mode with System Restore OFF and have the Viewing of Hidden Files ENABLED as per the instructions in the link. Make sure to do the Online Scans.

Post back with the results from the above instructions and we’ll go from there. Please send us a HijackThis Log with that post.

Note that your HijackThis should be up-to-date (v1.98.2) and MUST be extracted to its own safe folder - C:\Program Files\HijackThis!

If you need a Fresh Download of HJT, get it HERE: HijackThis 1.98.2

Also note that, before you scan, you MUST close all running programs including your web browser, e-mail and items in the system tray.

Please save your HJT Log as a .txt file and attach it via the "Manage Attachments" tool in the Additional Options section when you post.

I'll check back when I get a chance.

Best luck
