winhlpp32.exe VirusConfiguration:
Hey,
I am suffering with a prob.. what happened is nortan 2003av used detect a file winhlpp32.exe as the virus again and again. So what I used to do is quarentine the same and del the file..though I quarentine the virus (winhlpp32.exe) and delete it.. the file will keep coming daily at a rate of about 200 per day.. so what do i need to do... apart from this there is nother prob which is that my sys used to reboot very often.. in the sense it used to give a error report on rpc prob.. and used to shutdown.. i suppose the second one is cos of the sasser.. but i am not sure.. so could some conferm as to what exactly is the prob here.. i mean is it.. winhlpp.exe related to sasser or both are 2 diff probs that I am facing...

Nother symptom i would like to report is that if i try to log on to any of the antivirus web sites like symantec or mcafee or even avg... the page wont be displayed..
(But really could not resist appreciating the person who created the virus for this....inspite of him creating so many probs..)


I would really appreciate it if someone could help me with this...

thanks and regards,
Vikram

i've done the same thing as you did. if i ever turn on the firewall, my slows down. so i turn it off when i'm downloading big files. i only turn the firewall on when i'm surfing. and yeah, i've encounter winhlpp32.exe as a gaobot worm with my norton av 2004. i managed to quarentine and delete it. but this winhlpp32 always show up when my firewall is off. my norton av did detect it as gaobot worm a couple of times. the first time, however, as i've told u b4, i can delete it. the 2nd time and so forth i apply full system scan but found nothing. strange. is this normal?

Thanks for the suggestion.

After searching for a while i did realise or infact found out that the Virus was gaobot worm.. i got the removal toll from nortan and it said it has not detected the virus... butstill it has worked for me.. it deleted certain regesitry stuff.. which has infact resolved the issue..
try downloading the tool from symantec.com.. must be able to resolve the issue..

hey, got the SAME big problem... I even rebooted my computer from scratch and still have the stupid worm. Anyways, just found "spyhunter" and it claims that it can remove the program, so I downloaded that and am trying that. "spyhunter" also has instructions on manual removal, so search for that on google. good luck.

Hi, I am Dhanashri from India. I have this winhlpp32.exe virus in my system32 folder. I have win2k on my pc. I had Norton Antivirus 2003 installed previously which had detected this virus as gaobot worm when i was browsing the net. But it could neither clean the worm nor delete it. But kept on popping the warning messages. After 2 days like this, the Antivirus software got disabled on my machine & i was unable to install it again. I thought this could be due to the old version of the software. Now I installed latest version of M'Caffe & made it scan but it has strangely not detected the virus though i can still see the winhlpp32.exe file in the system32. Any idea what the problem with Maccaffe is? How do I remove this virus now? Please someone help me asap.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Dhanashri.
Re: winhlpp32.exe Virus Solution by Anonymous Ghost on July 27th, 2004 08:40:35 AM
The best thing to do:

Create a new text document on the desktop - winhlpp32.txt

Now, go to the command prompt using Run->command

cd\windows\desktop
ren winhlpp32.txt winhlpp32.exe
exit

Delete the file winhlpp32.exe from your windows directory.

Now cut this file from the desktop and paste in the windows directory

right click on this file, properties, set the attributes to read only.

This is the temporary solution. The virus will not come again...

Hi guys,
if you can't connect to Anti-virus web sites, check the hosts file (C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\ or C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\). It may have been hijacked so that any attempt to contact a well known anti-virus site will get a 'page not found error'. You can manually edit the file using notepad to remove the erroneous entries.

it will contain addresses of all the sites that u cannot access. just delete the entries.

Here are the steps solve this puzzle

1. Disconnect your system from internet
2. Stop your AV product
3. Find for "hosts" file and delete all entries except 127.0.0.1 localhost and other entries for your work.
4. Start your AV product
5. Update with latest service packs and patches from Microsoft
6. Update virus definitions.
7. Connect to Internet and Enjoy.

If you don't follow 5,6 steps regularly, you will be victim of viruses.
