Start program identification

I have a program in my start up folder listed as Lweughl which starts a program located in C:\windows\system called obshme.exe. I unchecked it from starting but every time I launch IE or OE it starts obshme.exe and shows it running in task manager. I have tried to locate some information about it on the internet but have not found anything related to it. Anyone have any idea what this program is or where I might look for information on it. My operating system is w98se.

 

a50harrison --No clue what this program is.
Have you run a spyware detector such as
AdAware
http://www.lavasoft.de/support/download/
and/or
SpybotS&D
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html ??
Before running a scan with either, you should get the latest Reference Files updates.
I assume you have an antivirus program. Have you scanned with it? Do you have it set to run on start up and AutoProtect?
If this does not help, you could also scan with HiJackThis.
Suggest you go here for further information

Since I am new to bbs seem to always leave some information out of post. I have done a scan with adware, spybot and run AVG free version of antivirus, which is set to run on start up. None show any reference to this program either. Will try the hijack this and see what that turns up.

 

I moved the thread to Removing Spyware & Viruses. Please unzip HijackThis into a folder before you have it create a log.

Finally got back to this to post a log...sorry for the delay

Download the attachment near the bottom of this post, rightclick rename to Win 9X & ME FixScanReg.reg then run the regisrty script by double left clicking, answer yes to the prompt.

Start Hijackthis and place a check next to these items,
Close all browser windows and shut down all other programs that show in the taskbar. (even Folders) [WE do not mean stop the programs in the tray area near the clock]

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [New.net Startup] rundll32 C:\PROGRA~1\NEWDOT~1\NEWDOT~2.DLL,NewDotNetStartup -s
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Crsr] C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\tott.exe
====================================
Hit fix checked and close Hijackthis and restart your PC

C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\tott.exe < delete that file

uninstall NewDotNet
While off line in addremove programs look for and uninstall New.Net, Newdotnet(Domains) WebHancer
IF it will not work or If you can't find it there go here and follow procedure number 4:
here http://www.newdotnet.com/#remove

Restart the PC
Delete te newdotnet folder on program files

Post a fresh log

 

Performed the steps you requested...had to associate the script file with a save as instead of just a right click and rename or else I missed a step in the rename process. Had already removed NewDotDomains earlier but see from the hijack log that it still had some reference to it. Any idea what some of these programs are..I know about newnet but what about obshme, tott and tnssu. A search on the net showed nothing, is there a place to go that has some information on some of these strange programs?

Looks fine, Post back with a new log in a few days even if every things ok please.

 

Thanks for all the help...will post what I hope will be a final log on Weds to see if you think it is ok. I posted a note in IE and OE about dun starting after shut down of OE and this may have cleared this problem also.

 

Here is the requested hjt log after a couple of days. All seems to be working fine other than my problem of OE trying to redail on close which I posted under another thread. Thanks again for the help.

I assume you have tried unchecking any auto connect-disconnect settings in OE.
Could that dialpad program have anything to do with it ?
