Weird Applications running
 

I found two applications running, seemingly in the background which seemed to indicate they were webpages.

jx.xxas.net/cod/srun

Look familiar to anyone?

Malware

It looks like it is trying to load malware from that site, but Windows stopped it from executing.

Run MalWareBytes to clean it, then install Microsoft Security Essentials (it's free from Microsoft) to keep your PC clean...

Gotta say, Art. I've been testing MSE, based on what you've posted and I'm not sold yet. I finished cleaning a heavioluy infected PC the other day that hasd been running MSE. It did an okay job of identifying things, but only while Malwarebytes was running. I'm not sold yet. :)

I've been using MSE after I clean up a PC that had not been running it. Once a PC is infected by malware, MSE doesn't do a great hjob of cleaning it up, but after the PC is clean, MSE really does a good job of preventing malware from getting on the PC. I use MalWareBytes to clean an infected PC, but sometimee the PC has to be reformatted and Windows reinstalled...

I had installed MSE when the pc was clean.

I beg to differ on having to format and reinstall. :) The pc I mentioned above was F'd up from two worms, a boot sector virus and other malware. The worm deleted a registry entry and a file and broke the TCP stack. Took me 3 days, but it's all clean, with the registry entry entered by hand and a reinstall of SP3 (XP).

It's back in service. We'll just have to see what happens.

I'm sure glad there are people like you around to fix computers when they stop working right. I don't have problems too often but when I do I would really need your help (when it is fixable-not the hard drive dying).

Yup. Not much one can do once the motor in an HD seizes, except use it as a paper weight or get kicked in the nuts over and over, while paying for professional recovery.

Slodave,
I don't have the time it takes to fix Windows when it's really hosed. Most people I know have their data backed up, so all they lose are their apps and they just reload them after I get Windows back on, nice and clean. We've tested MSE in a lab environment and have seen very, very little that will get past it. It's not perfect, but I have it running on every PC I work on and I've never had to clean a PC that I've installed MSE on twice...YMMV...

I do, it's the client that doesn't. :D I like the challenge.
