Hi, playsoldier3 :whistling:

Were you able to find the i386 folder? If so, are you sure it is the installation folder (Explorer.EX_ is present in that folder)? Let me know the location.

It is not Iexplore.exe, It is Explorer.EX_->Note the underscore at the end and does not start with "I".
  • Click on FileFind.exe
  • In the box labeled "Directory"
    • Enter: C:\
  • In the box labeled "File"
    • Enter: Explorer.ex_
  • Now click on the "Search" button
  • Once the utility has found the files click on "Export"
  • A Notepad will open up. Please copy the entire contents of the Notepad and paste them here.
  • NOTE: The notepad is saved on your C:\ drive as "Export.txt"

Hi, playsoldier3 :whistling:

I will attempt to change the source path in your registry.

Backup your Registry with ERUNT again.


Download the enclosed file:
Save and extract its contents to the desktop. It is a folder containing a Registry Entries file, Regfix.reg . Once extracted, open the folder and double click on the Regfix.reg file and select Yes when prompted to merge it into the registry.

Restart the computer. Run SFC /Scannow.

Keep me posted.

Hi, playsoldier3 :whistling:

Set your security to ignore the inetinfo file. It appears to be legit.

In regard to the System File Checker, if the regfix didn't do it nothin will. Try clicking on Retry.

Hi, playsoldier3 :whistling:

All the reports we have produced say so. I have contacted the Spykiller Forum to confirm.

Lets find out if there is a registry entry concerning inetinfo.exe.

1. Launch Notepad, and copy/paste the contents of the quote box below into a new Notepad file. Save it with file name options.txt and save as file type: all files to your desktop.

RegSearch Options File

[Search]
inetinfo.exe
CNNIC

[Exclude]

[Options]
Filter=KVDLUI



2. Download Registry Search to your desktop.
  • (I believe you already have this program)
  • Right click on the compressed RegSearch folder, and choose "Extract All". In the box that pops open, click "Next", then "Next" again, and then "Finish". You now have another RegSearch folder on your desktop.
  • Open the new folder, and double click on regsearch.exe
  • Click "Import" in the lower left corner and browse to the options.txt file that you just saved on your desktop. Do not choose the one in the RegSearch folder itself.
  • Click OK and Registry Search will scan your registry for the file(s), and a Notepad box will open with a report.
  • Please reply here with the entire contents of the Notepad file from RegSearch.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetinfo.exe is infected with trojan.adware.win32.adhelper.cd

the genuine inetinfo file should be in
C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsvr\inetinfo.exe
