I also found some interesting files and once I deleted
them, I no longer get the pop up messages.
In C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32, I found some files that you
had to change the attributes in order to see them.
The first thing I did was to boot to the command
prompt in SAFE MODE. Next, I changed to the
C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32 directory. I used the DIR /AH
command to see the files that are hidden. There were
about 20 files that were hidden but there were about
8 of them that had weird names. I also noticed they
all had the same timestamp on them. They also were
the same size (233,511 bytes). You have to change
the attributes on these files using the ATTRIB -H -S
command to take the hidden and system attributes
off before you can delete them.
The next thing was to go into the REGEDIT command
so I could look at the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\
SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
area. I found another file that had a weird name like
JwqUeC.EXE. I deleted this line.
After rebooting, I no longer get the pop ups.
Hope this helps anyone!
