What Is Winkju.exe

[crasher]

What is this task? it keeps startin to run by itself and sucks lots of processor power?? Believe its also stopping me run Task Manager from time to time.

Is that the correct spelling? I can't find anything on that so far.

 

[madmatt]

Me either. I searched Yahoo, Microsoft, and Symantec Security Response.

It's the Klez virus

Part of it. 🙁

Run a virus scan. If so, Klez Removal Tool .

Yes, I'm back got over my little spat. 😀

 

[madmatt]

What spat? I don't get it? EXPLAIN MISTER!

 

[crasher]

Yep it's definitley spelt 'Winkju.'

 

[madmatt]

well then crasher, hate to tell you, but you have the klez virus. follow the link above to remove it. good luck.

 

[Iceman]

It's better to leave it alone Matt. No use airing something silly like what happened. I just got pissed at a certain Mod. who will go nameless. I consider the matter over and done with.

But I'm happy to be posting again.... I'll wait a couple days then resume my Superhero status.

God, if you can't laugh at yourself, then your not trying hard enough. 😉

 

[madmatt]

Welcome back then. =)

 

[crasher]

Ok, thanks for the help. Will give it a run and see what happens. Cheers

 

[Iceman]

crasher,

be advised that virus u have will change it's name almost everytime u delete one of it's files,

some of the file names it uses is style winkera.exe, winkju.exe, etc.

good luck 🙁

 

[crasher]

yeah, noticed that it changed its name a few times!!

Cleaned the virus out now, used the removal tool. Would just like to say thanks very much guys, your quick response allowed me to sort this out straight away. Very impressed!! Thanks again.

 

[xsivforce]

You are very welcome. Glad we could help.

 

[madmatt]

you are welcome (even though I didn't do anything).

 

[Iceman]

Ditto......

glad it all worked out for the best 😀
