Winad.exe, winclt.exe, and winad.dll install with an adware program called WinAd by TwistedHumor. This program generates popup ads and targeted ads. It also has the capacity to connect to its controlling server and update its files.

what should i do. I have Ad-Aware Se personal. and hijackthis as you know.

Delete that crap ofcourse. It doesn't belong on any system.

We just had your system cleaned :'( And now you already have malware on it again. What did you install?

[jackolino]

ok thanx eddy. found another virus though. Its a Win32: Trojan-gen (VB)
fILENAME: C:\WINDOWS\system32\ms.exe. What should i do, delete repair or move to chest? tahnx mate.

I Dont think i installed anything, i updated Ad-Aware SE Personal and avast updated, but thats it.

On hijackthis, the scan showed the system as clean but adaware found some bugs after the update was complete and avast found some viruses.

Delete it. It is part of the Bylmer (backdoor trojan).

[jackolino]

ok thanx, keep finding win32 trojans of varying types.

Perhaps it is wise if you do every step as explained on the page in my signature. Although you already have done several of them I suggest you do them all. Just to make sure your system gets clean and gets more protected.
