further to add i also have a file called ope6A.exe running at startup now, which i do not believe was running before.

Thanks again

Adi

Hi mate, i have to same problem, i get an error of dxsetu.exe, open50.exe and winsock.scr

I've started a simliar thread, just waiting a response from the admin of what to delete from my hijack this log.

Its begining to make my p.c very slow. Lets hope we can remove it.

Thanks

Atky

mines started to get very slow too and i'm having some hard disk problems. all bad.

i've looked at others who have had similar problems and the only reason i can't follow the instructions to get rid of it is because i cannot find dxsetu.exe on my disk anywhere

Hi...while you are waiting to hear from one of the experts, you could update hijackthis to the latest version, which is 1.98.2.

I have the same problem

I always end the cmd.exe tasks! Because they use 100% cpu power and triing to connect to IP 224.0.0.22
also CSRSS.EXE trys to connect to the IP above!

i tried to fix it with HijackThis in save mode

http://www.hijackthis.de/logfiles/27...06740233b.html

i think the problems are here:
F2 - REG:system.ini: Shell=Explorer.exe winsock.scr
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [dxset.exe] C:\WINDOWS\dxsetu.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [PtiuPbmd] Rundll32.exe ptipbm.dll,SetWriteBack

i also tried to find the virus with stinger/normen AV/spybot/CWShredder...no results

i deleted all entries with "dxsetu.exe" in the registry and also the file C:\windows\dxsetu.exe
but on the next startup it was there again

please help me

I solved the problem!!!!

i fixed the folowing problems with HijackThis.exe

F2 - REG:system.ini: Shell=Explorer.exe winsock.scr
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [dxset.exe] C:\WINDOWS\dxsetu.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [PtiuPbmd] Rundll32.exe ptipbm.dll,SetWriteBack
