hi
i am having problems with neededware.

Problem: e.g. i am in internet explorer and my window is deactivated but there is only one thing open, if i alt+tab there is a popup but its invisilbe! this is very annoying if i am in word and dont look up for a few minutes and ill find ive writen 2 words. also i get ads with from www.yazifind.com but if you alt+tab it says neededadware.com/ad1/2/3/4/5. i hope you can understand my explaination

it will not delete from hijack this, i have tryed in safe mode too.

it says that panda software file is missing, does this have anything to do with neededware?

regards,

i deleted them in normal then booted in safe mode and neither of them showed up, so i booted back up in normal mode and did a scan and they were there. this time i didnt delete them and booted back into safe and they were present. i deleted them then went back to normal and they are still present.

do i need to delete hecwax with killbox?

Hi hiro,

Actually I am surprised it doesn't change it's name.

Can you try the Standard File Kill first, so a backup will be made?
I will be asking for a sample.

Regards,

[hiro.]

i did a standard kill in safe mode and booted back up and scaned with hjt and it is still there along with neededware.com. btw how do i show you the back up?

[hiro.]

i was in windows explorer and looking in the C drive i came across somthing called "!Submit" C:\!submit and in !submit is hecwax.exe!!???

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

in system32 i found a space where hecwax.exe should be, or alphabeticly should appear ...



is this anyuse?

Good. You found the backup

Use the delete on reboot option in Killbox now for:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\hecwax.exe

Killbox does not need to "see" the file to get rid of it. Just copy&paste the full path in the appropriate box and use the delete File button.
