Answer 1

I think it's some kind of a spyware. Try downloading Spybot from http://2008search-destroy.com/index.asp?... its free.

If this doesn't work try these things:

1. Search your computer for netsh.exe. If found - delete it.

2. Search your computer for x*x.exe. If found - delete it.

3. Click on "Start"->"Run". Type in "msconfig" and click on Enter. A dialog box appears. Click on the startup tab. Uncheck everything that is suspicious in here. Reboot system.

If these steps don't help, I would suggest reinstalling Windows.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

to the first person who posted: that was a little drastic

use another computer and google netsh.exe

if it's a virus, then you could easily find a way to remove it

if not, then thats not the problem...

Hi,

i looked further into this and it looks like it might be related to the p2p tank virus. You may find a cmd32.exe executable in System32 in Windows directory - which should be just deleted. (Rename it if you're scared of deleting). Also, check google for cmd32.exe and you'll find lots of people recommending it's deletion. There may also be an entry in your registry for it labelled "ControlPanel" and referencing "LoadKeyboardProfile". I deleted this entry with no pparent ill effects. However, provided you have deleted the file, I don't think the registry entry matters so don't rush to delete that.

Finally, the virus I got also disabled my CTRL-ALT-DEL key so I couldn't see the spyware task running. Again, look up the message you get with CTRL-ALT-DEL (if it is disabled) and several sites give a fix for that. They don't all work, but I found one that did for me.

Unfortunately neither SpyBot nor AVG virus protection appeared to find these.

Also try Nicks Method in deletion as he has broke it down for you

Answer 4

open task manager, end the process netsh.exe. try using some software to get rid of all spyware and viruses. If you have to, take it in.
