Follow-up for — the HijackThis output shows an autostarting process that can be abused to relay via an IM client. ’s containment-first flow (stop the rogue process, remove persistence points, clear traces and then clean from Safe Mode) is the correct starting strategy. If an antivirus labels the detection as a dropper (the log mentions a name in that family), the finding should be confirmed with one or more up-to-date on-demand scanners before assuming the system is clean.

For quick identification, enumerate running processes with their executable paths and inspect any that originate from the Windows system folder. From an elevated command prompt:

wmic process get name,processid,executablepath

Process Explorer (Sysinternals) provides richer detail (parent process, signed publisher, open handles) and is useful to verify whether a process is legitimate before removal.

Removal workflow: isolate the PC from networks, stop the IM client, kill the suspicious process, then reboot to Safe Mode to remove startup entries and leftover traces (startup keys, browser helper objects, cached prefetch files). Run full scans with at least two reputable on-demand tools (examples: Malwarebytes, an emergency kit or a rescue disk) using current definitions. Any file flagged as suspicious should be checked with a multi-engine scanner before deletion. Never delete files from system folders without positive identification; core OS files must be preserved.

Post-cleanup steps: change all account passwords from a known-clean device, notify IM contacts about possible malicious messages, and monitor for reappearance of the same autostart entry. If persistence continues or many system files were changed, back up personal data and perform a clean OS reinstall. An updated HijackThis log after cleanup will help confirm that persistence mechanisms were removed; reference ’s earlier steps when validating results.

Can you please do the following.


===============

Let's look for, and delete, any program segments (prefetches) that might be present, and are associated with the 'problems' we're trying to remove from your PC. To do this, let's:

1) Click "Start | Search", then search for each of these program's base name(s), in all files and folders:

service.exe*

2) Then if any are found in the 'prefetch' folder, delete them.

Look closely, since the 'base' name will have a bunch of random numbers and letters attached to it.

===============

Run HiJackThis then:

1. Click "Open the Misc Tools Section"
2. Click "Open Process manager"

-

Next, while holding down the CTRL key, locate (if present) and click on (highlight) each of the following:

C:\WINDOWS\service.exe

Now double-check and make sure that only those item(s) above are highlighted, then click "Kill process". Now, click "Refresh", check again, and repeat this step if any remain.

===============

Scan with HijackThis and then place a check next to all the following, if present:


O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Windows UDP Control] winudspm.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Windows svchost] service.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Windows UDP Control Center] winudpmgr.exe


Now, close all instances of Internet Explorer and any other windows you have open except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

===============

Locate and delete the following item(s), if present. Make sure you are able to view system and hidden files/ folders:

files...

C:\WINDOWS\service.exe

Search for...

winudspm.exe
winudpmgr.exe

...using "Start | Search...".

-

Note that some of these file(s)/folder(s) may or may not be present. If present, and cannot be deleted because they're 'in use', try deleting them in Safe Mode by doing the following:

  • Restart your computer
  • After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
  • Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear.

Select the first option to run Windows in Safe Mode hit enter.

-

Reboot.

===============

After rebooting, rescan with hijackthis and post back a new log. Please let me know how your pc is now.
