From: Scott-az on 23 Apr 2010 11:32 Thanks for the help. I did run MalawareBytes'Anti-Malware, MS Malicious Tool Remover and RootKitRevealer. All came back negative. I made a manual System Restore point and deleted the service. Thanks "Ken Blake, MVP" wrote: > On Mon, 19 Apr 2010 18:58:01 -0700, Scott-az > <Scottaz(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: > > > Hi, I'm not sure where to post this question, so I started it here.

Please submit a sample of VIVWFLIOSARZP.EXE to Virus Total -- http://www.virustotal.com/flash/index_en.html The submission will then be tested against many different AV vendor's scanners. That will give you an idea what it is and who recognizes it. In addition Virus Total will provide the sample to all participating vendors. You can also submit a suspect, one at a time, via the following email URL... mailto:scan(a)virustotal.com?subject=SCAN When you get the report, please post back the exact results. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp
From: Scott-az on 24 Apr 2010 18:57 Sorry, didn't know I was supposed to submit this to a website. I never did find an exe in the temp directory. Only had a service named vivwfliosarzp that pointed to an exe in a temp directory. When I did a file search, nothing was found. "David H.
