--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After downloading from limewire and running a program it brought up my firewall and prompted me to block taskmgr.exe it gave me no choices to cancel so I had to click ok which prevented me from opening my task mgr.
When I start my computer it gives an error message "b.exe has encountered a problem" and then tries to load Limewire.exe, if I close it just opens again.
It has also locked me out of running "regedit". I downloaded "unhookexec.inf from symantic but I still cant access it. Full system scan did not show any viruses.
Can anyone help?

Your system has an outdated version of Sun Java that could create serious security exposure issues for your PC.

Update your Java.

Older JAVA versions have vulnerabilities that malware can and are using to infect systems.

Please follow these steps to remove older version Java components.

• Close any programs you may have running, ESPECIALLY your web browser
• Click Start > Control Panel.
• Click Add/Remove Programs.
• Check any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in the name.
• Click the Remove or Change/Remove button.
• Repeat as many times as necessary to remove all versions of Java.
• Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.

Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 11 or higher, and install it to your computer.


New Version should show as (HijackThis log):

C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_11\… or higher



Reboot and run 'fixwareout' again. Post your latest HijackThis LOG and any current observations.

Ok, well it would not let me delete taskmgr.exe
I DL'd the new Java and installed.
Now it wont let me run the Fixwareout anymore. I deleted it and reinstalled, it keeps saying cannot run because fixwareout.bat is being used by another program. Rebooted and I get the same thing.
Latest HJT log.

Download SDFix and save it to your Desktop.

Double click SDFix.exe and choose Install to extract it to its own folder on the Desktop. Please then reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following :

• Restart your computer
• After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually;
• Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu with options should appear;
• Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press "Enter".
• Choose your usual account.

• In Safe Mode, right click the SDFix.zip folder and choose Extract All,
• Open the extracted folder and double click RunThis.bat to start the script.
• Type Y to begin the script.
• It will remove the Trojan Services then make some repairs to the registry and prompt you to press any key to Reboot.
• Press any Key and it will restart the PC.
• Your system will take longer that normal to restart as the fixtool will be running and removing files.
• When the desktop loads the Fixtool will complete the removal and display Finished, then press any key to end the script and load your desktop icons.
• Finally open the SDFix folder on your desktop and copy and paste the contents of the results file Report.txt back onto the forum with a new HijackThis log.

Ok well good news. Taskmgr.exe now opens like it should and seems to be functioning fine. Also I did not recv a B.exe error this time upon reboot!
