Exceptions in Firewall

[Guest joseph]

In Control Panel / Windows Firewall / Exceptions ; I am suspicious of the

some of the programs that are Enabled. Some have names like Remote Assistant,

Network Diagnostics for W XP, and Windows Live Messneger.

There are 9 at the top of the list that DO NOT have names which worry me?

There is a box with a check mark in and just the word 'ENABLE',,, no name of

a Program.

 

When I click on Edit they have names which I will now Copy. I don't know

about enabling these places to have access to my PC, whether they are

important for operation or some type of intrusion.

(Remember the only name they have is 'ENABLE" and they are checked, I don't

ever remember allowing them, unless it done from the website?.)

Here is what comes up when I Click on Edit.

"You can allow comms with this Program from any pc, including those on the

Interneet" <<< ((this is what I am worried about, especially the Explorer

one

as I had some problems that revolved around explorer,)))

C:\WINDOWS\system32\vhr.exe

C:\WINDOWS\system32\kvhmmtn.exe

C:\WINDOWS\system32\jpqrwxq.exe

C:\WINDOWS\system32\hnwtb.exe

C:\WINDOWS\system32\flcsn.exe

C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.EXE

C:\Documents and Settings\Gary\xgw.exe

C:\Documents and Settings\Gary\ipb.exe

C:\Documents and Settings\Gary\cwiu.exe

 

If you can tell me whether it is important to some programs I use that I

must allow

this access, or whether someone has snuck in!?

With file names like those it looks like your system is compromised with

virus and or malaware.

Time to do some deep scanning with multiple scanning apps

Just a box with a check; then the word "ENABLED" - no title or name

when Click on Edit there is the Info I posted.

Based on the 2 Replies, I have Deleted them and am going to scan.. with Avast

Asked and answered in the other newsgroup to which you posted. Please don't

multipost; it makes more work for everyone and will get you *less* help,

not more. See this for why:

To make it easy for you this time, here is the answer I already gave you:

 

You are infected and need to clean up your computer. Go through these

general malware removal steps systematically -

Include scanning with David Lipman's Multi_AV and follow instructions to do

all scans in Safe Mode. Please see the special Notes regarding using

Multi_AV in Vista.

(and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea), take the

machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent

of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). Please be aware that not all local shops

are skilled at removing malware and even if they are, your computer may be

so infested that Windows will need to be clean-installed. If possible, have

all your data backed up before you take the machine into a shop.
