ljjkllm.dll and awvwx.dll

[Victor Laszlo]

I have these two files that I would like to remove. I haven't had any
luck even though some claim they are part of the adware-virtumundo
spyware. Can anybody tell me how to detach these two files from the
underlying processes that are holding them. If I could detach them
from the underlying processes I may be able to successfully remove
them.

Try dl'ing and installing the free version of SuperAntiSpyware and then
update it.
Run the program and see if it doesn't help get rid of the above problems.
I was impressed enough with it that I bought the paid version.
The free version is as powerful in getting rid of spyware as the paid
version is.
The free version is on-demand only while the paid version can be set to be
active all the time.
Go to the website of the above name (adding .com) and read about it
yourself.
If it doesn't work, just uninstall it as it seems to uninstall very cleanly.

Thanks Buffalo, I'll give it a try.

Any idea how I can actually kill a subprocess of a process/I have
determined that ljjkllm and awvwx are actually tied to lsass.exe and
explorer.exe. If I kill these two processes nothing will work. I need
to find a way to free the above files from lsass and explorer. If I
can do that then hopefully I can delete them.

Boot from removable media.

Welcome to one of the most glaring shortcomings of the monolithic
nature of MS Windows by the way.

You seem intent on preserving them... May I ask what your interest in doing
so might be?

You can also try the malware bytes antimalware program.

Just thought of something else.
lsass.exe is a legit program (where the l is actually an L)
Isass.exe is a virus (where the l is actually a capital i )
When the isass.exe uses a capital i it looks similar ( Isass.exe )
Do a google search to get more info.
Do a search and see where your problem lsass.exe is actually located.
I believe the legit one should be located in Winnit\System32 (at least in
Win2000)
Do a search for isass.exe and if it is found, it most likely is a bad
virus.
