GUEST,Jeff in Wyoming Tech: virus: Downloader.Dluca.E ???? (45) RE: Tech: virus: Downloader.Dluca.E ???? 23 Apr 04


Yup, I got it too! (on 21 April) Symantec caught it, couldn't clean it and quarantined the file (wdwctrl.exe). Thought all was good until...things started happening. On opening OE I would get the message "Messenger has encountered a problem and must close". Since I wasn't even running Messenger I thought this was a little strange. OE would, eventually, open and work but was extremely slow. Then the Accessories submenu (Start - All Programs - Accessories) would take a couple of minutes to appear when accessed and when it did, of course, System Restore would not work (probably due to the quarantine. Additionally, I couldn't open any "User Accounts" without rebooting and opening them from startup. Internet Explorer and all programs would work, eventually, but not as they were supposed to.

Tried the fix for Dluca.D and couldn't find the process to stop or files that they suggested to remove.

Tried reloading OE and Messenger with no help! Also tried reloading a Norton Ghost version from January and ran into trouble - machine crashed. Cured the problems with an atom bomb - reformatted hard drive and reloaded windows. A drastic solution but at least I KNOW I'm clean.

Good luck and if they ever find the guys that do this stuff, let me know - I'll bring the rope!!!!!!!!
