I am also getting this WinFixer pop-up every time I open a new IE window.

SpyBot
Ad-Aware
cws shredder
panda antivirus

I used have norton, but I can't seem to get rid of all ofit

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello tampabelle,

thanks for the help.

i ran the first 2 programs as listed and then re-booted.

I am not sure what happened, but something is wrong.

Most of my desktop icons do not work. My start bar is usually at the bottom, but it i not there. If I hit the windows key, it pop's up, but it's all blank.
All of the icons on my desktop look like when you highlight them (they are covered in blue) if that makes any sense.

any idea what I did wrong or how to fix? Do i need to reorrmat and start over?


- I stil get the winfixed thing
- still getting the slow down

Hi Mrfrosty,

I have downloaded the apps, but I can't run them.

I get the following error:

c:\documents and sttings\michael richardson\desktop\procexp.exe

this appliction has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect.

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

I have tried in both regular and safe modes.

Hi Mrfrosty,

I need some ideas on how to tackle this infection. Let me check with others and revert !!!

[tampabelle]

Hi Mrfrosty,

Step 1
Please go to this page - http://www.tech-foru...opic/29806.html.

Download the appropriate file (i.e. either the XP Pro or XP Home version file). Run the file and let it install the files in your system folders.

please delete the procexpnt.zip and the extracted procexp.exe file already downloaded and extracted by you.

Step 2
Download Process Explorer by Systernals again from here.

Unzip the file and save the extracted files on your desktop.

Download fixvundo.reg

Step 3
Please reboot the PC in Safe Mode (repeatedly tap the F8 key when the PC is starting up).

In the top section of the Process Exlporer screen double click on winlogon.exe to bring up the winlogon.exe properties screen. Click on the Threads tab at the top.

Once you see this screen click on each instance of utiltcp.dll once and then click the kill button.

After you have killed all of the utiltcp.dll under winlogon click ok.

Next double click on explorer.exe and again click once on each instance of utiltcp.dll then click the kill button. Click on the Threads tab at the top.

If you see any .ini or ,bak files with either the same name or the file name in reverse, kill them as well

Once you have done that click ok again.

Step 4

Next run HijackThis and place a check beside each of the following.

O2 - BHO: MSEvents Object - {6F71C05E-6C91-4A3A-9146-9C19DA2E4CCE} - C:\WINDOWS\Web\utiltcp.dll
O20 - Winlogon Notify: utiltcp - C:\WINDOWS\Web\utiltcp.dll


Now click fix checked and close HijackThis.

Step 5
Now double-click on the vundo.reg file that you saved on your desktop earlier and allow it to merge with the registry.

Double click on Killbox.exe and then check the delete on reboot button.

Enter the following filepath and filename into the Full path of file to delete box

C:\WINDOWS\Web\utiltcp.dll

Click the red circle with the white x and allow your computer to reboot.

After your computer has rebooted please run Hijackthis again and post a new HijackThis log.

[mrfrosty]

I can't run the exe.

I think I found part of my problem. I think I ran the clean up act in regular and not safe mode. I think that deleted some of my settings in XP which is why nothing is running and my desktop is crazy whacked.

I think I may have to re-format.

Any other work arounds?

[tampabelle]

Let me check on why the procexp.exe wont run !!!

The rest of the fix is simple. Reformatting the PC would be a very drastic measure !!!!

[mrfrosty]

ok..thanks. I guess i was just getting frustrated.

[tampabelle]

Hi Mrfrosty,

Are you having any problems in running other exe files??? Let me know

Lets try this -

Open Windows Explorer (right click on Start and then click on explore).
Click on Tools ---> Folder Options ---> View Tab.

Uncheck the box next to - "Hide extension for known file types".

Now locate the file procexp.exe, which was unzipped.

Rename the file to procexp.com.

Now proceed with the fix I gave you.
