t&skmgr.exe

edited April 2007 in Spyware & Virus Removal
Hi everyone, a newbie here with an infected machine. My machine has experienced a slow down and occasional lock up. No spyware or virus was detected by spybot or norton but I've found that t$skmgr.exe is using 99% of the CPU when it happens and with a little research it seems that I'm infected with a nasty.

Thanks in advance for any and all help in rectifying the problem.

    Hello CamP and Welcome to the Forums :).

    Let's try this:
    • Click here to download HijackThis.exe
    • Save HijackThis.exe to your desktop.
    • Create a new folder named HijackThis to your desktop. Move Hijackthis.exe into that folder.
    • Then rename HijackThis.exe to Scanner.exe
    • Run Scanner.exe
    • Click on the Do a system scan and save a log file button. It will scan and then ask you to save the log.
    • Click Save to save the log file and then the log will open in notepad.
    • Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
    • Come back here to this thread and Paste the log in your next reply.
    • DO NOT have Hijack This fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.
