A pornographic icon has appeared on my desktop. I am not the only user of the computer, so I assume someone was surfing around in an X-Rated site over the weekend. I try to delete the icon and it always comes back--sometimes right away, sometimes later. The 'details' for the icon state "relocation info stripped from file." Is there a way to deal with this and get rid of this icon?

go to http://www.thespykiller.co.uk/files/HijackThis.exe and download 'Hijack This!'.
make sure it is placed into it's own folder, not a temporary folder. Then doubleclick the Hijackthis.exe.
Click the "Scan" button, when the scan is finished the scan button will become "Save Log" click that and save the log.
Go to where you saved the log and click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" then Paste the log back here in a reply.
It will possibly show issues deserving our attention, but most of what it lists will be harmless or even required,
so do NOT fix anything yet.
Someone here will be happy to help you analyze the results.

Hi Garret,
Please follow the directions below and run Cool Web Shredder. Make sure it is updated. If the link for CWS is down, go to www.sherrylynn.us/privacypolicy, and underneath "spyware info" is a link for cws.exe. Before you run it, make sure all browsers are closed. After download adaware and spybot and run those programs, then post another HJT log.
Thanks to DVK for the info:
Download and unzip or install these programs/applications if you haven't already got them. If you have them, then make sure they are updated and configured as described
CWshredder from http://www.merijn.org/cwschronicles.html
Spybot - Search & Destroy from http://security.kolla.de
AdAware 6 from http://www.lavasoft.de/support/download/
then
Run CWSHREDDER, check you have the current version, press check for update and let it update
Close all browser windows, click on the cwshredder.exe then click "FIX" (Not "Scan only") and let it do it's thing.
and make sure you follow the advice about the security updates listed at the bottom of the page, in order to prevent re-infection, otherwise you will be continually reinfected
the patches are :
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=828026
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/security/bulletin/ms03-011.asp
*Note: The simplest way to make sure you have all the security patches is to go to Windows update and install all "Critical Updates & service Packs"
then reboot &
Run Sybot S&D
After installing, first press Online, press search for updates, then tick the updates it finds, then press download updates. Beside the download button is a little down pointed arrow, select one of the servers listed. If it doesn't work or you get an error message then try a different server
Next, close all Internet Explorer and OE windows, press 'Check for Problems', and have SpyBot remove all it finds that is marked in RED.
then reboot &
Run ADAWARE
Before you scan with AdAware, check for updates of the reference file by using the "webupdate".
the current ref file should read 01R256 09.02.2004
Then ........
Make sure the following settings are made and on -------"ON=GREEN"
From main window :Click "Start" then " Activate in-depth scan"
then......
click "Use custom scanning options>Customize" and have these options on: "Scan within archives" ,"Scan active processes","Scan registry", "Deep scan registry" ,"Scan my IE Favorites for banned URL" and "Scan my host-files"
then.........
go to settings(the gear on top of AdAware)>Tweak>Scanning engine and tick "Unload recognized processes during scanning" ...........then........"Cleaning engine" and "Let windows remove files in use at next reboot"
then...... click "proceed" to save your settings.
Now to scan it´s just to click the "Scan" button.
When scan is finished, mark everything for removal and get rid of it. .(Right-click the window and choose"select all" from the drop down menu) then press next and then say yes to the prompt, do you want to remove all these entries.
reboot again
then post a new hijackthis log to check what is left [/B][/QUOTE]

I have identified problem. The following file is embedded in my computer and comes up 'access denied' in spite of all efforts to delete. This is the file: 122283.dlr. It is a dial-up file that has been corrupted, according to it's developer, by porn sites. Has anyone, using Windows 98, been able to delete this file.
It's there because somethoing using that file is holding it on your system, this should enable you to delete it along with the rest of then crap

Problem solved. I was able to remove 122283.DLR file and the movietrader1 icon from Windows 98. This is the file that comes up 'access denied' when an attempt is made to delete it and produces the movietrading1 icon that persistently brings up pornographic web sites.
This is what finally worked.
(1) I deleted the items recommended by Derek from the hijack file I posted and retarted my computer. Thank you very much Derek!!
However, even after so doing the movietrading1 icon was still on my desk top forcing me to connect to porn sites.
(2) On the site Computercops I found a posting from SeattleRob who reported that he had been able to reach TIBS, the company that developed and sells the 122283.DLR file and the company gave him set of entries to make in his 'registry' to remove the 122283.DLR file. SeattleRob says the company claims that 'others' have altered the original file to make it unremovable. However, if you go to www.TIBSystems.com you will see that the company actually boasts about how difficult it is to remove this file. The file seems to be marketed heavily to porn producers. I sent an Email to TIBS, but never received an answer.
The Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00, as recommended by TIBS via SeattleRob is below.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]
"SearchSystemDirs"=dword:00000001
"SearchHidden"=dword:00000001
"IncludeSubFolders"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"Hidden"=dword:00000001
"ShowSuperHidden"=dword:00000001
Thank you SeattleRob. I would like to contact you, but when I tried to register at Computercops, I never received the confirming Email necessary to enter the site. Maybe you will come here to TechGuy and find my ThankYou--I hope so.
(3) However, after Step 2 above, there still was a problem. If Windows 98 has a registry file, I was unable to find it. Instead, I went to my Start menu and then clicked on Run In the Run field I entered the term win.ini. (This seems to be the file in Windows 98 that controls what comes up when you start your computer.)
Entering win.ini in the Run field brings up the win.ini file, written in what seems to be HTML code. Before going any further you MUST Make a copy of the original win.ini file and save it on a floppy--in case the changes you are about to make do not work and you need to restore the original. Put the floppy in a safe place.
Next, working with the win.ini file on your hard drive (don't worry if you don't understand anything in the file), just go to the end of the file and paste in SeattleRob's recommended 'registry' code as above.. The effect of this code is to enable you to open otherwise 'hidden' and 'deeply hidden' files from a computer running Windows 98.
Restart your computer.
This finally allows you to find, access and delete the122283.DLR, which I did by using Spybot.
I hope this helps others, especially those still using Windows 98.
This is what finally worked.
(1) I deleted the items recommended by Derek from the hijack file I posted and retarted my computer. Thank you very much Derek!!
However, even after so doing the movietrading1 icon was still on my desk top forcing me to connect to porn sites.
(2) On the site Computercops I found a posting from SeattleRob who reported that he had been able to reach TIBS, the company that developed and sells the 122283.DLR file and the company gave him set of entries to make in his 'registry' to remove the 122283.DLR file. SeattleRob says the company claims that 'others' have altered the original file to make it unremovable. However, if you go to www.TIBSystems.com you will see that the company actually boasts about how difficult it is to remove this file. The file seems to be marketed heavily to porn producers. I sent an Email to TIBS, but never received an answer.
The Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00, as recommended by TIBS via SeattleRob is below.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]
"SearchSystemDirs"=dword:00000001
"SearchHidden"=dword:00000001
"IncludeSubFolders"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"Hidden"=dword:00000001
"ShowSuperHidden"=dword:00000001
Thank you SeattleRob. I would like to contact you, but when I tried to register at Computercops, I never received the confirming Email necessary to enter the site. Maybe you will come here to TechGuy and find my ThankYou--I hope so.
(3) However, after Step 2 above, there still was a problem. If Windows 98 has a registry file, I was unable to find it. Instead, I went to my Start menu and then clicked on Run In the Run field I entered the term win.ini. (This seems to be the file in Windows 98 that controls what comes up when you start your computer.)
Entering win.ini in the Run field brings up the win.ini file, written in what seems to be HTML code. Before going any further you MUST Make a copy of the original win.ini file and save it on a floppy--in case the changes you are about to make do not work and you need to restore the original. Put the floppy in a safe place.
Next, working with the win.ini file on your hard drive (don't worry if you don't understand anything in the file), just go to the end of the file and paste in SeattleRob's recommended 'registry' code as above.. The effect of this code is to enable you to open otherwise 'hidden' and 'deeply hidden' files from a computer running Windows 98.
Restart your computer.
This finally allows you to find, access and delete the122283.DLR, which I did by using Spybot.
I hope this helps others, especially those still using Windows 98.
