    Those don't look good either: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/star...exe-15062.html

    ETA: After looking further, I see what I show above is the same as what the tree listed.

    Just a few points:

    1. I would certainly add A-Squared and EWIDO to your armoury. Several scanners are better than one or two.

    2. If you are going to use HijackThis to remove something, it is better to boot into safe mode, as it will have more of a chance.

    3. Spybot S&D should be started in "advanced mode" then if you look in the "tools" section you can check on BHOs and the like

    Short List:

    ishost.exe is SpywareQuake. Among other things, it installs & deletes programs, Creates Run Registry Keys, runs other programs, communicates with web sites using http protocols, scans active processes & terminates them, and creates multiple copies of itself.

    issearch is a component of SpywareQuake

    isnotify.exe is also a component of SpywareQuake

    ismon.exe is the payload dropper component of SpywareQuake.

    update.exe is a known plymorphic file exploit trojan: W97M.Exe.Drop.Trojan

    Plaxo*.* et al is known malware. It does pretty much the same stuff as SpywareQuake

    wltrysve.exe is a related piece of malware that is used to invoke other covert processes and dll libraries.

    winucv32.dll is a polymorphic file exploit dll library

    pmnqguh.dll is also a polymorphic file exploit dll library

    nmnkj.exe, 4447f7a.exe Not sure, but I'd wager that they are related to the polymorphic file exploit trojan.

    Have you tried using Prevx1 ? As nihil said, multiple scanners are better than one. You can never have enough tools in your arsenal.

    Also look into ParetoLogic's XoftSpy . The proggy is a little pricey (about $30.00 USD, but the scanner portion is free, fast, and very thorough. I use it for scanning, then use other tools for removal. Scan takes about 1/4 the time of SpyBot S&D.

    Altnet can be a pain.....

    Try this (in Safe Mode): Right click the registry key of the offending key (Altnet) then

    select "Permissions". In the "Advance Tab", select your User Account name

    then check the box to replace owner. Click OK. Next, in the "Security"

    tab, select your User Account name then select the box for full control.

    Click OK. Try deleting the offending keys now and it should be gone.

    Note: Prior doing the above, please back-up your registry.

    or



    Manually remove Altnet

    Well, I think I have most of it off of there... I am still scanning in safe and normal mode, and sometimes catching a straggler... but I was wondering about something... my brother uses the Maxthon browser... is that a safer alternative to IE? I have noticed that MS's update page cannot tell that it is not IE... so I was wondering if it would help curb the spyware threat at all... I have been trying to talk him into using Firefox, but he for some reason thinks Maxthon is better. Anyone have any opinions about this? Don't say: have him switch to Linux... I have tried for years to convince him of that... it is a lost cause.
