I just started getting this msg this yesterday morning, have no idea what it means or where I picked it up. I ran a full scan with avast an found nothing.
31.12.2008 12:14:28 Network Shield: blocked access to malicious site 78.110.175.21/cp/x/?u=0A1&i=0+e10000494a9707443781920b4b412693924db8BOOK-I9BOMLIG6Q+Mozilla/4.0%20(compatible;%20MSIE%207.0;%20Windows%20NT%205.2;%20.NET%20CLR%201.1.4322;%20.NET%20CLR%202.0.50727;%20.NET%20CLR%203.0.04506.30;%20.NET%20CLR%203.0.04506.648) [ C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe ]
It comes up about every 4 min. Do I have something to worry about?
ran the trend micro housecalls, it found and removed:
ADWARE: QOOLAID, WHENU, QOOLOGIC, APROPOS, SHOPATHOME, DEALHELPER, ISTBAR AND MEMWATCHER.
Trend Micro recommended that I run a second full scan, soon as I did it I got the same message as above. Will run the other programs listed to see if they will help.
Thanks for the help, just did a search for c:\windows\system32\wdmaud.sys found wdmaud in c:\windows\system32\ but no wdmaud.sys. Is that the correct one?
This is because you have the Hide file extensions for known file types option enabled, it is by default (I hate MS for these crazy defaults), all that does is cause confusion.
See image and set your (explorer, Tools, Folder Options) to the same as those opposite the Red line.
Well thanks a million to polonus and DavidR for the instant help. I finally got to the right place and found what you was directing me to. Renamed it, then ran it thru SuperShredder. Rebooted an so far no sign of the msg upon start of Firefox or IE. Been online now for 8 min an nothing, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You all.
;D
