Hey guys!
Love the site, knowledgeable people, helped me out of a PITA virus before.

So ......

This folder appeared on my desktop called "Logs"
I don't know what creates it, i HAVE deleted it before, i usually ignore it because it seems harmless but, i figure that you guy might be able to tell me what's up.

I've attached the file that's contained within the folder here.

Well okay, it won't let me upload the file in it's current form.
It is stored as a NOTEPAD doc. i'll just paste what it says.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

The files named:
"cpu"
Contents:
"9/12 18:40:14.580 vendor: 1
9/12 18:40:14.580 features: 00000017

Honestly do not know

Please run hijackthis (see link in my signature), then save a log and AS A TEXT FILE (FILE > SAVE AS) then ATTACH IT (do not post) to your next post.

We do not like to post hijackthis logs in sections other than the malware forum as we do not want to encourage people to post malware issues in this forum.

I am not looking for malware. I am looking for what programs or combinations of programs might cause this behavior. If I notice any malware, I will redirect you to the malware forum.

If you post a hijackthis log in this forum, several trusted techs will come to your house and eat all of your Ritz crackers, Cheeze Doodal and any sweet pickles you have in your fridge. We will also put our feet up on all of your coffee tables. This is no joke. We'll do it. It's not pretty.

Bleh sorry this took so long, week (+end) from [bleep].
Here is the HJT log attached.
well, okay. I'm not sure what the problem is, but it isn't letting me attach the doc. again ....

"THE FOLLOWING ERROR(S) WERE FOUND
Upload failed. You are not permitted to upload a file with that file extension."

it is just the HJT log, as created by the program, just a notepad text document, unsure why it's not working.

I won't post the whole log out b/c you said not to, and i can see why, but tell me where to go from here.

Well i checked this file out, no idea what it's from.

NO VERSION tab.

But it was created in 2002, so odds are that it's got nothing to do with anything, also it was last modified in 2004. But the times on those are somewhat odd... 3:41 AM on the create, and 11:56 PM on the modify, but the clock was probably just set wrong or something.

How that helps, alo should i delete the LOGS file on my desktop, and see if it is recreated again?
If not, it seems harmless.

I don't like this file

C:\WINDOWS\system32\batodjob.dll

For that reason, I need you to submit it to Jotti's for analysis.

1. Click HERE to get to Jotti's site.

2. At the top of the Jotti window, use the Browse button to locate the following file on your system:

Full Path of File to be Analyzed

3. Once you have located the file, click SUBMIT and the content of the file will be uploaded by the site and analysed.

4. Please provide me with the results of the analysis.

additionally,

make sure that hijack is in its own folder rather than a temp folder, then I would check the line with that in hijackthis and hit fix

It will save a backup of the setting in a folder called backup so you can reinstall

Reboot then, and then see if anything seems wrong


And yes, delete the LOGS file and see if it returns

Well I can't upload the file, probably b/c of the firewall on our router, (which i know very little about), but i'll zip it and attach here.
