Norton Antivirus reports that my copy of WinLogon.exe is infected but doesn't fix it autiomatically.  

I suspect that the problems reported are all due to an infection in this file.

Question is: how to get a clean copy / restore a clean copy of this program.

 welcome to may 25th - the day the virus hit.
something's going around, and no one's sure what it is.

try booting your system w/ your network cable unplugged - that'll at least get you up & running. once you're in, go to start -> control panel -> network connections, then disable your local area connection.  until there is ia fix, this will allow you to reboot your computer w/o an error message being generated.  however, you will not be able to access the internet.  /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />

finally, if you boot the system w/ your network connection disabled, you can open task manager (right click on the taskbar @ the bottom of your screen and go to task manager) and end any rundll32 processes that are currently running.  then, you can re-enable your network connection, plug the network cable in, and access the internet.  just MAKE SURE to disable your network connection again before you shut down.

i imagine there WILL be a fix, eventually...  they just have to figure out what it is, how it's getting in, and how to keep it out.  good luck, nancy!

sasser generates an error message about lsass.

Hi Nancy

It is rather likely that you do in fact have a Sasser variant, if this is the case you should go to the following web page and follow the instructions in the recovery section about halfway down on the page.

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/...rts/sasser.mspx (http://\"http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/alerts/sasser.mspx\")

According to Microsoft this should solve your problem.

For the people at the begining of this thread... do you run Ad-Aware & Spybot? Both freeware & excellent for cleaning out data miners & tracking components. Data miners & tracking components, to my understanding, will eat up resources within your computer. You also need to delete all toolbars & toolbuttons as well because they are tracking components within your browser. Delete start up registry keys for anything you don't need to run continuously... such as Real schedueler, Quicktime, cd utilities, Messenger Service(a must do unless you use MSN messenger like you use your left hand, first go to messenger preferences & uncheck to start when windows boots).
Then if you're running XP or 2000 and would like to futher tweak go to BlackViper.com (http://\"http://www.blackviper.com\") and look for Windows Service Configurations! Includes complete explanations of each service and advice on which services you can safely disable.

Post by: Pako on May 29, 2004, 01:38:44 AM
Yes, I had this problem not so long ago.  Begun by eating up my resources.  Couple of days later, I had the winlogon.exe problem at startup and I always had to reboot.  Tried to reinstall WinXP and I couldn`t load my computer anymore (0x00000007b).  Had to load using last settings that worked, fix the problem (IDE channels problem apparently) and then winlogon.exe begun to start eating up my resources again.

I bought and installed ZoneAlarm pro and disabled winlogon.exe access to the internet, and that solved the problem just great.  Apparently it is some type of Trojan/backdoor that loads something on the net, eating up the resources.  

So, as people previously said, try loading your computer while being disconnected to the internet.  If you absolutely must use internet, buy Zonealarm until a fix is found.

The main point of this post is to sum up previous ones and advise people NOT to try reinstalling XP.

I'm having kind of the same problem.  I run auto protect on norton and it said I had a trojan.  It couldn't remove it, so I tried to remove it with spysweeper.IT says I have Captain Menmo and Winlogon trojan.  I quarantine them and delete them, but they just keep showing up.  I don't know if this is related at all to this topic, but could someone help?
Title: winlogon.exe problems
Post by: Pako on May 29, 2004, 04:27:48 PM
Remove spysweeper from your computer and download Spybot S&D instead.  If this still doesn`t work, try Ad-aware (they are both freeware).

As for virus scanning, try Panda ActiveScan.  It is an online scanning device that bypasses the ability of some virii to lock the anti-virus.

If your computer remains infected, you will have to note on a piece of paper which files you need to delete using Norton and delete them with WinXP recovery console (load from the WinXP installation cd and press R when you are prompted to do so).

Winlogon infections seem to be related somewhat with VX2.BetterInternet.  You can download VX2Finder and save a log.  Copy and paste the log back here and I will help you as I can.

I have the same problem aswell, to fix it I ended task on the svchost.exe (largest mb one most are like 3 to 4 megs but there should be one that is around 15 to 20mbs) once that is ended I saw no negative side effects and winlogon.exe quickly ceased to use up any cpu usage. I did check for viruses but norton seems to only tell me I am clean......all I know my issue has to do directly with svchost
Title: winlogon.exe problems
Post by: Another Guest on May 30, 2004, 09:24:07 AM
well I entered safe mode and deleted the virus from the source.  It was a registry key.  It seemed to work because It doesn't show up on spy sweeper nor Norton.  However, I keep getting pop-ups from this CWS thing. I'm using Panda Active Scan, now, though for reassurance.

Hi.
Check out this page:

http://www.securemost.com/articles/trou_3_...ir_winlogon.htm (http://\"http://www.securemost.com/articles/trou_3_remove_windir_winlogon.htm\")
If you have trouble connecting.
Here's a short description:

It is a known technique that spyware, adwares, viruses, keyloggers etc use to hide from users - to drop files on the system that use the same name as a legitimate file but in a different directory. WinDir.winlogon locates a file winlogon.exe in %WinDir% on your system. The legitimate winlogon.exe file is located in %SystemDir%. Do not delete %WinDir%winlogon.exe unless you are 100% sure it is a threats.

If you find WINLOGON.EXE in your windows directory AND your Windows/System32 directory, try to remane WINLOGON.EXE in the windows dir.
It helped me.

Good luck

My Zone Alarm recently keeps saying that bootvid.exe wants to access the internet.  I don't know what this program is, so I always Deny it.  Does anyone know what bootvid.exe is?  Should I allow it?  Delete?  ??

 How do you actually end the svchost? And which one?  There are several in the task manager.

oh thank you for all the help i believe everythign will be alright now.
i d/l everything that all you have given me and did what you all said
just to be safe. to erase the sychost you delete the one which is take all the memory. thats what i did but then the winlogon.exe was giving me the problems so use this
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/...n/ms04-011.mspx (http://\"http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms04-011.mspx\")

Title: winlogon.exe problems
Post by: Guest_guest on June 26, 2004, 02:46:33 PM
hello
I was having same problems with winlogon.exe and the pop-up messages. I had adaware spybot and CWSshredder and kept finding dll files used with winlogon.exe and rundll32.exe. If you shut down rundll32.exe the pop-ups stop but everytime you reboot a new dll file will be created.
you have to show all files including hidden and systems. I found vzdata.dll, ounce deleted you solve the problem.

just saw this thread.

winlogon.exe IS NOT sasser.  i work for ms in their pcsafety div.  i answer tech support lines for sasser and others all day long.

winlogon.exe, when infected, is the netsky.d worm.

sasser would give you an error with c:\windows\system32\lsass.exe when you attempt to get on the net.

there are also many other viruses that give this same error report, sdbot and korgo to name 2.

i can't stress enough to you guys that you MUST do windows update on a regular basis.  that is you best first defense for worms.  

any questions, email quickquest88Email Removed(hopefully i won't get spammed).  i would be happy to help.  or call 1-866-pcsafety.  just a warning, not all agents are trained in all the virus/worm info.  some are smarter than others.  but we will be happy to help.

I have had similar problems. sometimes virus can corrupt thesystem so badly that the only way is backup your data and re-install your operating system.
The best solution i can offer people out there is install a good Antivirus package, and keep it up to date!.
I work in the computer industry and my recomendation if you want a top class package. THE ONLY ONE I RECCOMEND IS NOD32 it is fast, auto updates and has not failed me yet. Check out the reviews and tests with other packages.
www.nod32.com - You will not regret it. By the way I do not work for them or get paid to promote their product.

Start in Safe mode by pressing F8 when booting when it says
Verifying DMI Pool Data or something like that. Choose boot in safe mode, if you have broadband, go to Internet and get all XP Patches and run a virus scan. *XP SP2 is out soon!* log on as the Administrator.
Get the right patches and you are there!
