Well. Cant remember the actual site but it came up on google search... the popups froze my system... unusual. So i reboot and my desktop started to load. Half way through loading my desktop i couldnt open anything and slowly everything start to not respond.
I ran the last known good config to startup my computer. It finally ran so i ran my virus detector and it did not find anything, about 15 minutes later after connecting to the internet i got a popup from my firewall:
ldlhihcj.exe is trying to access the internet.
Ok, thats new
I knew it was going to be the virus , trojan , or adware that froze my computer earlier.
So i started my search for the fix. I tryed googling for "ldlhihcj.exe" and tryed many other search engines. I looked in my running processes to end task on it, but it did not show.
I finally done another restart and just as my computer was starting up (loading desktop) i ctrl + alt + del. I caught the running process although this time it appeared as
"Idlhihcj.exe" what my firewall did not show was the first letter was not a 'el' and was a 'eye' because it showed in lower case, my computer froze on that statup again.
Now heres how i removed it.
Im running XP home edition. Options may vary in different versions.
Firstly i pressed F8 when dos was loading on startup.
Then chose Start in restore mode. (something of the sort)
I chose my normal login, which now actually let the desktop load.
Then went to Start->Search->All Files And Folders->
In the file name text box i typed in
Idlhihcj.exe
(do not put it as a 'l' as it shows up in firewalls
this is confusing you)Then ran the search.
Within the first 5 minutes scanning it found the .exe file and the precache file. Deleted Both.
And all startsup fine
The reason for typing this up is :
antivirus did not find it.
google did not find it.
other search engines and forums had nothing about it.
its hard to find as the filename shows different.
Goodluck.
