[winsync]c:\windows\system32\ikayyc.exe reg_run , deos the [winsync] have anything to do with windows ?

[Relyt]

Good Evening

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [winsync] C:\WINDOWS\system32\ikayyc.exe reg_run

Can't find anything on ikayyc.exe, however looking at the whole line, I can tell you that "winsync"
is an application that keeps your clock up to date by comparing it to online sources.

It would be interesting to have your firewall not allow an outbound connection on it and then if it asks permission, see where it attempts to connect to.

cheers

[Raion]

Actually, I ran your HJT log through hjt.iamnotageek.com, and here are the results: http://hjt.iamnotageek.com/parse.php?log=182804

When I hovered over the one you specified it says that winsync is added by a variant of the qoologic trojan, but it also says to investigate further. Why don't you try running an online AV see if you have any trojans by any chance.

[rapier57]

Did you install the Precision Time application? That may be part of the problem. In any case, I'd be going into the Add/Remove Programs and getting rid of some things that weren't necessary, just in case.

The Yahoo Toolbar may be enabling some naughty behaviors.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [UpdReg] C:\WINDOWS\UpdReg.EXE

You can kill that. It is just the nagging reminder to update or register your Creative Labs stuff. Killable.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SiSUSBRG] C:\WINDOWS\SiSUSBrg.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SiS Windows KeyHook] C:\WINDOWS\System32\keyhook.exe

You have some third-party USB drivers not supported by Windows?????

http://www.liutilities.com/products/...rary/sisusbrg/
http://www.liutilities.com/products/...brary/keyhook/

Is this some Acer hardware attached to the system? Or, maybe your DSL/Cable modem driver support?

Looks like you have some good things in the system, but you may have some stuff that needs cleaning out.

A safe-mode virus and spyware scan would be in the cards.

Description:
WinSync.exe is a time synchronization software from Truetime. This process will synchronize your computer's clock by accessing the Internet with time servers. This is a non-essential process. Disabling or enabling this is down to user preference

winsync.exe (WinSync) - Details

The winsync.exe process will keep the clock on your computer accurate by checking it against multiple sources on the internet. If you find this function useful you should leave this process running.

winsync.exe is an application that does NOT appear to be a security risk

The Spy Bot database currently registers winsync.exe to TrueTime Winsync.

Whenever you have a concern about a file like winsync.exe, feel free to visit our free spyware removal page to help verify your file is not a security risk.

The Spy Bot database is updated often, but inaccuracies may still exist, often caused by viruses named after valid files such as WinSync. Always verify your results just to play it safe.

Why do you want a time sync prog? when windows already has the service installed..oh and half the crapware just puts a icon in the tray and activates the WIn32 time service .. and charge you for the pleasure.. (not talking about the Spyware crap yet)

so the Winsync seems clear.. I would recommend at having a look at where it is on your hdd..

[mattiolio]

Greetings to all thank you 4 your time

Yes this is a Acer T310 and it is my mums,i have been cleaning it out for a couple o days.
The fact that it is Acer that would explain the non windows supported USB drivers but will it also explain the winsync prog as neither of us installed it.
But then wouldn't we know what it is

Gonna get rid of the updreg.exe

I am going to do an online scan, any recomendations?

I have been to the link supplied by Raion:very helpfull, Much obliged.

It has not tried to acess the net since i blocked the thing .
if only it would ,then i'd know more.

It appears that i might be looking at nothing but u never know!
winsync i had figured out but thought it (the prog) might have been trying to mask itself like
under winsync like Isass.exe & lsass.exe,hence the post, i have looked a bit before i leaped
and am still looking.

Thanx
Matt

P.S am gonna try Panda O/L scan and see what happens!

[mattiolio]

Well it appears that it was some sort of pest and the tea timer on SB S&D scared it away.

I have been losing faith in spybot but on install on this pc,ikayyc.exe reg_run got outa dodge
real smart.

Sorry for wasting everybodies time and thanks for all the input,
i didn't run spybot because i keep getting an error in the scan on my home pc,and Hjt cant see anything,
but i think that will take some more investigation b4 i post on that one
but spybot did the job here.

Relyt,Raion&Rapier57
Cheers guys

gratefully

Matt

[mattiolio]

Its still there and i have deleted it with Hjt and when i booted up,spybot tea timer tells me that the old datails are being deleted with no new data to replace it,I ask it to remember the the decision but as soon as i scan it is back.
The only thing i havent done is a clean in safe mode.
Which i will do now.
Cant find it on the hard drive either?????????
