File not found!!

Yo AO’s

I’ve the following problem. At my work I’m using a win NT4.0 box. (Yeah I know it’s a shitty winbox). During start-up I receive the following message:

C:\Program Files\Normal Bestanden\CMEII\CMESys.exe not found.

I found out that it is a part from GAIN Software that apparently was installed on this machine. The next thing it does a search for shortcut named GMT.exe (Also GAIN). After a period it wound find the shortcut. My question is how to solve this. All answers form you guys are welcome.

Ciao

If you use this software, re-install it, or get one of the IT guys to reinstall it.
If you don't use the software, un-install it, through Control Panel/ Add/Remove programs.
If it is not in this list, or it does not un-install properly, it probably means that someone just deleted the directory instead of properly removing it. The simplest thing to do in this case, is to get the software re-installed, them promptly un-installed to clean up all the shortcuts and what not.
Good luck!

At first, my apologies for this off-topic reply...
Is this just happening to me only ????
In this thread for the second time there are posts which are disappearing.
Normally this thread should have about 8 replys by now.
Is everyone replying and deleting afterwards ? hehe ... :p

PS : I noticed because I had a similar prob and I was following the thread.

Greetz,

We should change this thread topic into 'replies not found...' , lol

If you don't know what you're talking about , just STFU !!

Anyone else , please ignore this , please...

I've re-installed the software and de-installed trough the normal way. And yes i would like to get rid of it. It's no use to me.

open regedit.exe(start>>run>>regedit.exe) search for the keys "run" and "runonce" if you found a string value with the name "CMESys.exe " or any other progie you don't want to auto start when windows starts delete the key and restart your computer...some progies add a shortcut to "[rootdrive]:\Documents and Settings\user\Start Menu\Programs\Startup" if you found a shortcut that points to cmesys.exe or gmt.exe in this folder remove them.

hope this helps!

I've already run regedit, but didn't find any string with the name "CMESys.exe. Also found no shortcuts in my rootdrive]:\Documents and Settings\user\Start Menu\Programs\Startup. Still have the same problem when i start up. Do i have to look in a *.*ini file if so which one??

if you can not find a string value with that name it means there is another progie that requests the execution of CMESys.exe.,you have to find that progie and then remove any string value that points to it in the "run" or runonce" keys.the best way of finding the progie is by comparing the processes running (task manager-->processes tab)with the strings in the "run" & "runonce" keys.

Did a search with the key "runonce" and found the following string:

",33,HKCU,Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Runonce,^SetupICWDesktop,"

Now is my opion not to delete this one. I believe i should keep this one. In the task manager-->processes tab didn't find any progie that is not related to this one. So, still no solutions

CMEsys.exe is a componenet of GATOR(spyware) that runs in the background http://www.liutilities.com/products/...ibrary/cmesys/ try downloading the newest version of ad-aware www.lavasoft.de and run the updates, then scan the local pc. That should take care of it.

thnx neta1o,

I've found that site too (googling aroud). I will try tomorrow at work to remove this*pest*.

BTW thnx and greetz to you all

Hardball: You may also want to try http://spybot.eon.net.au/ (SpyBot
Search & Destroy) It eats the Gator program for breakfeast. Also, (one of the better parts) it is free!

Yeah

Love things that are free!!! But will try that too. Still don't really know what cause the error.

Hardball,

You can get the gator spyware from accidently accepting 3rd party software installs while surfing the net or, more modernly, a lot of commercial software comes packaged with it. Although, in your system it seems to be pared with the Normal Bestanden software. Seems to be german so I couldn't research it successfully. Anyways, I'm confident that either of the ad remover programs listed above will kill the registry string and eliminate any remnance of the software. (ad-aware is also free for download in standard version)

Note: If this computer is used by other people you may want to check the IE History, when I searched for "Normal Bestanden" in search engine I found a few German porn references.

LOL,

Many thnkx CXGjarrod, just installed it and yes it did the trick!!!
BTW also thnx to neta1o and others!!

Greetz to you all

Now you can find out. Handle is a utility that displays information about open handles for any process in the system. You can use it to see the programs that have a file open, or to see the object types and names of all the handles of a program

You can also get a GUI-based version of this program, Process Explorer, here at Sysinternals
[shadow]http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/procexp.shtml[/shadow]

Handle is targetted at searching for open file references, so if you do not specify any command-line parameters it will list the values of all the handles in the system that refer to open files and the names of the files. It also takes several parameters that modify this behavior.
