Couple questions about some spyware, if someone could help me out it'd be much appreciated..
OK I had this spyware file called "flt.dll" in Program Files\Flt
It was running on startup automatically. Normally I am very anal about what runs on startup, and I use MSconfig and uncheck almost everything thats not essential, in the startup and services sections. I also check the registry for startup areas, and of course the start menu startup folder.
But somehow this file was loading on startup, cause I couldn't delete it without restarting in safe mode and removing it, cause it was in use. So my question is, how was this program loading itself? where did it put a reference to itself in my startup files? I'd like to check this area for other crap that I don't want loading. Any ideas?
dammit I had another question but now I can't remember it. oh well. can anyone help me with this one?
