So I have this icon of this girl on my C drive. I have scanned it and deleted it in safe mode and regular mode, but it comes right back every time. It changes its name from !apihook to the dl11 each time it comes back. I'm sure it is some kind of porn virus, but I can't get rid of it. She's creepy and I want her gone! What is left for me to do? I have scanned with Trendmicro, Avast, and SpyDoctor. I scan daily and delete daily. I have also used HijackThis and deleted the appropriate files. I also run ZoneAlarm constantly except for when working offline. I'm a CIS student and they haven't taught me this in school. Help! Please give me the education I'm paying the school for!

and i forgot to ask... where are you guys learning how to deal with these viruses. i'm taking a security class next semester, but i still don't think i will be prepared. are there any certain places on the web you go? or is it just trial and error? km

Hi. :) First, you left off the top part of your hijackthis log that states your operating system and what version of hijackthis you are running. Make sure you are using version 1.98.2 and post another log including the top part. Also be sure that all other browser windows are closed when you scan.

devldr32.exe is part of your Creative Labs Audio.
The Sticky Thread near the beginning of this forum has a link to a HijackThis tutorial, and there are others if you do a search with google.
Google is also one of the best ways to learn about viruses.
I don't have time to review your log now, hopefully someone else will shortly.

Close all windows, scan with HJT, and have it fix the following entries:
O2 - BHO: MultimppObj Class - {002EB272-2590-4693-B166-FBD5D9B6FEA6} - C:\WINDOWS\multimpp.dll
(for more info on this one, http://www.giantcompany.com/antispyware/research/spyware/file-multimpp.dll.aspx)
O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {2CDE1A7D-A478-4291-BF31-E1B4C16F92EB} - (no file)
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [conscorr] C:\WINDOWS\conscorr.exe
(more info, http://www.giantcompany.com/antispyware/research/spyware/file-conscorr.exe.aspx)
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [hvmyjrjry] C:\WINDOWS\System32\gtwnnjmp.exe
O9 - Extra button: (no name) - {237AA178-C3BC-4f67-A8BB-D8BC14BA0B89} - (no file) (HKCU)
Note: the 'more info' links are only there if you want to find out more about these entries.
Go to Add/Remove Programs in your Control Panel and remove these if found:
conscorr
gtwnnjmp
Reboot into Safe Mode, go to C:\WINDOWS and delete this entry, if found:
conscorr.exe
Go to C:\WINDOWS\System32 and delete this entry, if found:
gtwnnjmp.exe
That's all I see, perhaps one of the experts will see something I missed.

I discovered on a norton scan (safe mode) what I think is the root of the hook.dll/dl11.exe/LDR.exe problem. It's a program called Wnim.dll. When I erased it (norton couldn't do it) all the above problems went away. (Over a week now.)
Look in \Windows\system32.
I hope this helps.
