NTJK.exe
I'm running Windows Me and Spy Sweeper. Spy Seeper is giving me a message
that a file, NTJK.exe will run when Windows starts. Is anyone familiar with this file? Is there a way to delete this file. I can't delete it when Windows is running. |

You've been hijacked. NTJK.exe is almost certainly an unwanted file and
may with others form make up an unwelcome visitor. As a first action try booting to Safe Mode and see if you can delete this file. Also empty your Temporary Internet Files and Windows\Temp folder. This might be a good time to download yourself a copy of the free Ad-Aware SE Personal edition from Lavasoft (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) and also SpyBot Search & Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/) and use them to check your system for other commercial parasites remembering that they are only as good as when you last updated their reference files. I also use a program called BHODemon (http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm that checks for unwanted Browser Help Objects and SpywareBlaster (http://www.wilderssecurity.net/spywareblaster.html) which can help prevent some parasites getting a grip on your PC. Just is case the problem is due to a new version of the CoolWebSearch parasite you might want to download and run the CWShredder which targets that specific parasite. Unfortunately neither AdAware or SpyBot seem to be able as yet to fully detect all the various versions of the CoolWebSearch parasite as it keeps changing. The latest version of CWShredder can be downloaded (free) from http://www.intermute.com/spysubtract..._download.html Finally if you still continue to experience problems download a copy of HijackThis from (http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html). Create a folder called HJT on C: (not on your desktop nor in your temp folder) and copy the file you downloaded to that folder. Close as many applications as you can including all instances of Internet Explorer. Enable Explorer to see all files and folders (Tools | Folder Options | View and check "Show hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files") and then run hijackthis.exe and post back the log to the HijackThis Forum at http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php?f=30 and hopefully this will enable someone to identify the cause of your problem.
