Brookie Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Does anyone know any info about a process which runs as oatteoee.exe when viewing the processes in task manager.I have trawled through many search engines and come up with zilch. Seems to slow the PC down and is loaded at startup. Not able to find reference in registry. Am able to end process in task manager.Any advice.Thanks.

CoffeeFiend Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 I'd check system.ini and win.ini to make sure. That process has got to start somehow. Perhaps you can make a list of all the registry entries (or a HijackThis log) and such. Sounds like a random generated file name - definately not a normal process. Sounds like scumware to me...

Brookie Posted September 16, 2004 Author Share Posted September 16, 2004 Ran spybot search and destroy which did not recognise it.Ran msconfig and sure enough it is there. Still don't know what it does. It runs from c:\windows\system32\oatteoee.exe.An entry in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunName - mfnzfhoekbType - REG_SZData - C:\WINDOWS\System32\oatteoee.exeI'll try and disable it and see if I get any result.Thanks all.

oftentired Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Find the file on your drive and right click it and examine its properties. Specifically look at the version tab. The description and copyright info may be interesting. And you can click the left hand pane and see different info in the right hand pane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pthomas Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Try running a program called "a2". You can grab it here for free:http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/download/It finds the more malicous spyware and can remove stuff that spybot, adaware and spysweeper can'tPaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
