IE error "needs to close" BUT it was never open... Annoying.. Please Help.. Free Beer

OK, so IE7 was acting up, giving me the following error message:

AppName: iexplore.exe
AppVer: 7.0.6000.16414
ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0
Offset: 004ad2ae

Even though I wasn't even running IE at the time... I tried everything, ran multiple scans (both online and on my computer) for viruses, adware, spyware, malware, trojan, etc. Nothing. Scoured through websites (and stumbled upon this one). Made tweaks and suggestions (resetting to default settings, turning off 3rd party, etc.) ... NADA. So I uninstalled IE7.... and then, everything seemed fine, until I got a similar "error" message (without ever having IE open):

AppName: iexplore.exe
AppVer: 6.0.2900.2180
ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0
Offset: 0043387e
here is a screenshot of the error message:

here is my hijack this log:

So here I am. Fully frustrated. First one to help me resolve this gets a free beer... hell, free beer for everyone...

Please help!

Thanks

 

anyone?

 

PeteC,

Many thanks for the reply.

A bit of background, I've done a bit of searching and it looks as if I may have the "iexplore.exe" virus?

i.e. in my task manager, iexplore.exe shows up even though I don't have IE running.

i haven't been able to figure out how to remove this (have searched for another prog named iexplore.exe aside from the proper IE prog, but couldn't find it - must be a stealth prog)

Any help / insights / suggestions would be extremely appreciated.

Many thanks.

 

Hi agoodfella

It looks like you may have a LOP infection.

Please Download NoLop to your desktop from one of the links below...
Link 1
Link 2
Link 3

• First close any other programs you have running as this will require a reboot
• Double click NoLop.exe to run it
• Now click the button labelled "Search and Destroy "
  <<your computer will now be scanned for infected files>>
• When scanning is finished you will be prompted to reboot only if infected, Click OK
• Now click the "REBOOT" Button.
• A Message should popup from NoLop. If not, double click the program again and it will finish Please Post the contents of C:\NoLop.log along with a fresh HijackThis log

--If you receive an error, "mscomctl.ocx or one of its dependencies are not correctly registered," please download mscomctl.ocx to your system32 folder then rerun the program. --

Please do this also.

Jotti File Submission:

• Please go to Jotti's malware scan
  
• Copy and paste the following file path into the "File to upload & scan "box on the top of the page:
  
  • c:\progra~1\intern~1\iexplore.exe
• Click on the submit button
  
• Please post the results in your next reply.

Please post the two logs.

Geri

 

Thanks for your reply and support Geri.

I finally got rid of the bug.

Apparently a program called "CiD Helper" had been surreptitiously installed on my computer which led to the iexplore.exe Virus.

thanks again.

 

Hi
No problem. Hope everything is working OK.

Geri
