Netmeter

loulou41

I posted my hijack log on tomcoyote forums as pc picked 5 viruses and was advised to remove netmeter. I find this strange as I have installed netmeter to monitor my internet usuage. Any idea, anybody? Thanks

woo

i don't see any reason why you would have to remove it

Browntoa

I wonder if they have mixed these two up

NetMeter.exe Achtergrondtaak NetRatings software by Opistat .

netmon.exe VirusAdded by the MIMAIL.M WORM!

loulou41

I do not think so. This is what they told me to delete.

Browntoa

if you post the log there I'll give you a 2nd opinion

I think they have confused it with Netmon

marleyboy

Im sure they have mixed it up with Netmon, Netmeter is harmless really.

woo

at first glance i can't see anything wrong on that list.

Browntoa

cannot see anything wrong with that, not 100% sure what this is

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [btbb_wcm_McciTrayApp] C:\Program Files\btbb_wcm\McciTrayApp.exe

but I'm almost sure it's not bad

What made you post the log in the first place ?? pop-ups ??

Browntoa

think I see where the confusion came up

http://www.symantec.com.mx/avcenter/venc/data/pf/spyware.netrat.html

Spyware.Netrat is a spyware program that logs user networking activity, and sends the logs to remote servers.


When Spyware.Netrat is installed, it performs the following actions:

1. Creates the following files:
   • %ProgramFiles%\Netratings\Premeter\Netratings.exe
   • %ProgramFiles%\Netratings\Premeter\Nrpr.exe
   • %System%\NMTracer.dll
   • %System%\Drivers\nmconpid.sys
   • %ProgramFiles%\Opistat\Opistat\config.ini
   • %ProgramFiles%\Opistat\Opistat\netmeter.log
   • %ProgramFiles%\Opistat\Opistat\nmconpid.sys
   • %ProgramFiles%\Opistat\Opistat\nmconpid.vxd
   • %ProgramFiles%\Opistat\Opistat\nmgk101.dll
   • %ProgramFiles%\Opistat\Opistat\nmgk140.dll
   • %ProgramFiles%\Opistat\Opistat\nmnsob60.dll
   • %ProgramFiles%\Opistat\Opistat\nmnsob61.dll

   • %ProgramFiles%\Opistat\Opistat\nmobsvr.dll
   • %ProgramFiles%\Opistat\Opistat\OpiStat.exe
   • %ProgramFiles%\Opistat\Opistat\OpiStatInstall.exe
   • %ProgramFiles%\Opistat\Opistat\setup.ini

help2go's analyser also says that its spyware but I think its the filename causing the confusion as it's similar

spurs1234

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Int ernet Settings,ProxyOverride = 127.0.0.1

Usually not good either...
