I went to install the service pack 1a and it says my product key is invalid? I don’t want to get to technical with this like call them up and everything to get a new product key. Is there any way to get a quick fix, without a valid key?

I don’t know of a way around this. If the key is valid contacting them shouldn’t be a problem. If not, well …

Haha yea, the sp’s are free to update right?

If your Windows copy is legit… yes you can apply them… without it, you won’t be able…

system · 2007-04-18T02:43:25.000Z

Ok, i’ll do the vundofix in a second. I guess I could try to e-mail them, or I could just get SP2 from one of my friends.

system · 2007-04-18T02:45:25.000Z

Ill run VFix now and i’ll be back on in a minute ;D

You’ll need a legit key again… or to crack your system (or installation CD).

I ran vundo but no files came up. Is that bad or good?

system · 2007-04-18T02:56:09.000Z

That’s very good

Polonus asked about a fresh hjt log and Tech an online scan. If you’re not completely fed up with us …

Well, if you tell me your computer is running better and the firewall isn’t driving you crazy with connection attempts I’m good with that.

system · 2007-04-18T02:58:18.000Z

Haha, ok well im gonna go then, i’ll keep trying to get SP2, hopefully i’ll get it soon. But for now i’ll keep my computer on lockdown

system · 2007-04-18T02:59:33.000Z

Sorry - edited in a little extra above.

Is the computer running well now? And the firewall is at peace?

system · 2007-04-18T03:03:41.000Z

Yea the firewalla is doing fine I guess, for games online games its a pain in the butt, but it’s fine once I let them through. Yea, I’ll get the Hjt log, and the online scan done tommorow, i’ll reply with the results. Thanks for all the help, I think my computer would have crashed by now if it wasn’t for you haha.

system · 2007-04-18T03:06:02.000Z

You’re welcome.

I’ll take a look at your log tomorow but I think your just fine now.

system · 2007-04-18T03:06:16.000Z

My computer I think is running a lot better, especially without all those annoying virus popups every 5 seconds.

system · 2007-04-18T03:07:13.000Z

Ok i’ll talk to you later.

Sorry for not replying, I’ll get everything done tonight (hopefully) so we can be done with this , unless my brother steals the computer for a while.

system · 2007-04-20T19:03:11.000Z

NASTY Trojan Backdoor QGB

I would recommend before trying to kill this getting updated to SP1 otherwise you will be continually getting re-infected

I know i’m hoping to get it soon 8)

We already got rid of the file with SDFix but it’s still registered as a service. It used to read

O23 - Service: ieupdater2 (Microsoft IEUpdater2) - Unknown owner - C:\ie_updater.exe /start

Running “sc delete Microsoft IEUpdater2” from the command line didn’t unregistered it. Should it be “sc delete ieupdater2” instead?

essexboy · 2007-04-21T11:49:02.000Z

Microsoft IEUpdater2

You should be able to delete this via HJT or failing that do it manually through the control panel

Delete an NT Service

[*] Open HiJackThis
[*] Click on the “Config…” button on the bottom right
[*] Click on the tab “Misc Tools”
[*] click on “delete an NT service”
[*] Copy and paste this in: Microsoft IEUpdater2
[*] Click “ok”, then reboot

Open control panel select Administration tools
Select services
Scroll down to the required service
Double click and set to STOP
Then in the drop down box set to DISABLE
