From: Bpayton on 6 Dec 2009 12:19 What do you do when this has happened and the logon.exe file is not showing?

From: saltshaker on 12 Dec 2009 11:53 Well, first post.... I appreciate any help. :confused: So I successfully removed the problem 2 days ago using many of your suggestions (basically, I went in the registry and had to erase logon.exe). Seems to have worked but I think it left some damage behind. My computer doesn't give me the "Windows Cannot Find 'logon.exe'......" prompt anymore, But the CPU is still running very slow, and often times at 100%. These 3 Processes seem out of control: EULALauncher.exe CLI.exe ATPStartupAssistant.exe I used the Task Manager to end these processes and at least that lets me use the computer, but I'm hoping I can find a true fix.

But search for it. If it's under c:Windows or c:Windows\System32 then it's malware. Delete it and the "starting" key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run Try to have a look at the other files by the scanner websites http://www.virustotal.com or http://scanner.novirusthanks.org/index.php Bernd |
