Hidden Spyware Windows Processes
Hidden spyware ,
A few weeks ago my wife had an issue with sporadic pop ups, she
would go to Google perform a search and low and behold a few
seconds later a pop up, whatever was causing them was actually
monitoring the web browsing as the pop ups were always in line
with whatever she was searching for.
So to find this
annoyance I did the following.
Checked
Messenger service was disabled as this can cause pop ups,
already disabled as it should be running WinXp Service pack 3
Made sure the computer was set to view all files, Windows
Explorer - Tools Menu - Folder Options - View Tab - Make sure
show hidden files and folders is selected.
Next I downloaded Spybot Search and Destroy, found nothing
Downloaded Adaware, found nothing.
Downloaded Spyware Doctor from Google found nothing.
After this checked each Windows Service to make sure that it was
not malicious, all was clean.
I use a few other
applications, I made sure each of them was not the cause of the
pop-ups by stopping each one and seeing if the pop-ups stopped,
I tried this with Skype, Sysense, Incredimail, and still got pop
ups.
I was on the verge of
rebuilding the pc when I read an article on hidden windows
processes.
I downloaded one of
the many free applications to view hidden processes and saw
something called, isxrjci.exe I have searched the web trying
everywhere to find out what isxrjci.exe is but it appears to be
the cause of the pop ups, but I was surprised that none of the
anti spyware software packages detected it.
I was also bemused
that I could find no hits or information for isxrjci.exe , if
anyone has any info on this please let us know so we can add
more info on this mysterious file.
