I've been having a problem the last 2 days with this annoying pop up message generated by files that have appeared at C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\BIN\djrunner.exe  No matter what I do,  delete them etc,  the error message pops back up

"Windows cannot find "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\BIN\djrunner.exe." Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for click this file, click on the Start button, and then click Search."

I have found a few other people with the problem on another tech forum but noone has fixed it yet,  I'm not sure if this is a virus or what,  but the file/s are related to cracking software by someone by the name of John the Ripper, a notorious password cracker ???

If anybody knows anything about this,  or knows a fix/cure,  please let me know,  it will be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Jason

Hi,

IF this happens with ALL EXE-files/programs: the Cleaner from www.avast.com should read -> read instructions FIRST!!

otherwise just search for the respective entry in the registry, and remove it (backup the registry-key first!!)

scan you PC with updated avast and maybe onlinescanners from Trend (below) and www.ravantivirus.com , to be on the safe side

SPYBOT, AD-Aware and maybe cwshedder might also help

quiffhead,

I have not heard of djrunner.exe and had no luck attempting to research this problem.

At this point, the advice of Whocares is the best way to go.

If you delete it from the directory but it reappears, this is symtomatic of a "registry" plant or "hijack"

You may have some luck going to the Wilder's Forum.

Just an addy correction -- the forums are at wilderssecurity.com, which is separate from wilders.com.  The forums (fora?) are at http://www.wilderssecurity.com/index.php

Mike,

A correction to your correction.

You most certainly can access the Wilders Forum from the Home page.
It is really not a separate entity.

I have found them most helpful.....
If you contact Wilders directly, they will answer the support request.

I recommended the Wilders forum in case someone there knew something about djrunner.
