Lonkero,

Hmmm.. That is interesting.. I did not pick that up with Ad-Aware nor my reg snapshot util..

I will have to check into this tomorrow.

Radimus,

Please check or review your code. Not sure if it is your code or a poor copying of the code on my part [Frown] But I have just spent the past few hours trying to restore the deletion of 30GB of data from my 80GB drive. Luckily I killed the script before the entire drive disappeared. [Eek!]

At this time, I'm not sure if it was me or the posted code, but it is a file deleting son of a gun.

I hadn't tested any of it... the deleting portion is from a UDF from here that I cut 'n pasted in...

did you supply a $gatordir... perhaps the UDF goes ape when passed a nul and it starts recursing at the root of c: ?? I dunno, I've never used it.

Maybe revert back to my code. [Big Grin] [Big Grin] [Big Grin]

I know it is fat, but works great with the exception of what I stated about the folder removal. To that end, we may need to do the following:
  • Check for other running tasks
  • After ending the "Gator-Related" programs, put a couple of second wait until we delete files
  • RD /S /Q is pretty dangerous! We need some safety built in.
Wait a second..
Going back and re-reading your message from the Support people at Gator worries me that we are not completely closing things down...

Here are my couple of pennies for thought.

Thanks,

You might want to look at my UpdateFileOnReboot() UDF which enables you to replace in-use-files during a reboot. With a slight modification, it could also be used to delete an in-use-file.

kent, wasn't it just that directory which did not disappear?
why it can't be removed just with
runonce="%comspec% rmdir" ?

Jooel,
I believe the load order may not be in your favor. If there are files that load from RunServices or the HKCC, these are already loaded before the Run key is processed.

I do not address Gator specifically but rather services in general.

hey...

With a happy collection of UDFs, I have my own Spyware.

Useful to see if gator.exe is running (or freecell.exe)

I have modified the ping() UDF a little, but I need to update it more to use the WSHPipe() instead of a temp file...

Happy spying [Smile]

BTW,

hehehe... was just trying to help Kent out and finish off the code that Radimus had. I simply took it at face value... Wow!, that was a mistake. Don't trust UDF Code that deletes files without testing and making sure you have plugged in all the right information to the variables. [Eek!]

Any ways... Easy Recovery Pro came to my rescue and restored all the files. Had to track down some in renamed lost folder names, but seems I got back all the data. [Big Grin]

Kent, I agree... I'll be using my own tested methods for now to do "recursive" file/folder deletes until I'm more comfortable that I have tested that kind of UDF code.

Go on Lonk, LAUGH.... [Big Grin] I'm still here and up and running.

Looks like I may have found the rogue Gator Exe -

Well.. That is not all.. Here are more... [Frown] Even more Gator stuff.

here is the next victim...

http://www.spywareinfo.com/lop.html

quote:

Lop.com

Lop.com has become one of the most hated names on the internet. All over cyberspace, from message boards to newsgroups to IRC chat rooms I've seen people begging for help in getting rid of this annoying software.

What is lop.com? Lop.com is first of all a web site owned by C2 Media. It is mainly a pay-per-click search portal where other web sites pay for each click-through to their site via lop. This isn't a terrible idea, but rather than create a quality web site to get surfers to their site and clicking those links, they instead created a program which is labeled as an mp3 search program whose installer turns the user's web browser into a device with a seemingly endless supply of links to lop.com.

I read something I think on Symantec's or Nai's site on how to remove this manually. It is not technically a virus, even though it does take over your web browser installation.

However, I did find this interesting tidbit - GIVE LOP THE BOOT.

When my colleagues got it, it was really annoying.

Yes, LOP is a piece of junk that takes over a lot of your settings, favorites, search, etc...

I have manually removed it, but that is a pain to do as well, their own uninstaller works very well.
