Wat doet file trickler 3103.exe

[Gast]

Zojuist kreeg ik een melding van de cleaner dat er een file in windows/temp/ was geplaatst t.w. trickler3103.exe. Via de prullenbak kon het bestand niet verwijderen.Enig idee wat dit bestand doet.!!!

Dit heb ik erover gevonden:

 

Gator Modules

 

 

Gator

Gator is the main software, which autocompletes Web forms (which is completely unnecessary for many MSIE users, since IE has included an AutoComplete feature since version 5.0).

 

OfferCompanion

This is the advertising spyware module. It is responsible for spying on your Web browsing habits, downloading and displaying pop-up ads, and transmitting (personal?) information to Gator.

 

Trickler (fsg.exe, fsg-ag.exe, fsg*.exe)

Trickler is an "install stub", a small program that is installed with the application you really wanted. (Gator almost always appears on your system due to installing OTHER software, and not the installer available from Gator's website.) When installed, Trickler inserts a Run key in your Registry so that it is silently and automatically loaded every time you start your computer. Trickler runs hidden and very slowly downloads the rest of Gator/OfferCompanion onto your system. It is suggested that this "trickling" activity is intended to slip under the user's radar, the steady, low usage of bandwidth going unnoticed.

 

While often named fsg.exe, Trickler can go under other similar names, such as fsg-ag.exe (installed with AudioGalaxy) or another name containing "fsg" or "trickler".

 

GAIN (GMT.exe, CMESys.exe, GAIN_TRICKLER_*.EXE)

GAIN is short for Gator Advertising Information Network, and is the newest incarnation of the Gator spyware we all know and love. Gator describes this module here.

Je kan het verwijderen met Ad-Aware je moet dan wel de machine opstarten in de veilige modus omdat het programma bij opstart al in gebruik is. Of je moet eerst de taak beindigen in je taskmanager (je kan nu ook de file handmatig deleten).
