I could swear I saw it running.

[alpha]

I was reading an article on hackerwhacker.com about a guy who was hacked, and it mentioned the trojan showing up as mtmtask.exe. I'm **** sure that I've seen that running in the close program dialog box at LEAST 3 times. I suffer from frequent mouse locks while online or writing to the floppy disk drive. Related?, though it might be from running Win95 OSR 1 on a PII.

Now trojans can be a serious threat of course, but there are a numnber of other system problems that can be causing your grief. How does your device manager look? Are all the applicable patches/drivers loaded? I do not think the version of Windows you are using has full AGP or USB support. It certainly looks like you could have some resource conflicts that may not be visible in the Device Manager.

Just out of curiosity, what is your system configuration? Are you using a serial, ps2,USB or IR mouse? Is it an AGP display card and do you happen to have a PCI modem in the slot next to your AGP card? Be sure that the PCI slot next to the AGP is empty if you are using an AGP video card.

How about IRQs? does your mouse and modem share the same IRQ, i.e. Serial mouse COM1 and modem COM3 both IRQ4? Or does the graphics card share resources witht he modem?

Posting a URL (http://www.geocities.com/d12864/billybob.html) will not work with the image tag.

The image is actually only a part of the page, not the page http://www.jacksonville.net/~bhunter/billybob.gif

PS: Socalgal...I put it on my own server just for you...

BTW...I think mmtask.exe is what you could have seen running, as it's a SB-LIVE thing

sorry, I think cmonster`s post fried my brain!

I did try what you said socalgal.
the image is on my geocities page.
I must be doing something wrong.

To insert an image: http://www.sysopt.com/forum/ubbcode.html

FYI: When ever an IMG is used, it yanks the image directly from wherever the URL specifies, and steals their bandwidth (if the IMG is not on your own site).

Please put the image on your own sites if you want to display it directly in the message, otherwise just link it to the URL. Thanks.

I don't have an SB-Live!. The system is a PII400 on a CT-6BTM, PCI SiS 6202 G-card, old ISA SB 16, 6.4gb HDD with many FAT16 partitions, AT keyboard, serial mouse, paralell printer (bubblejet).

Ahh, just checked the system properties. No modem listed, just "PCI card" and aan exclamation mark, and "unsupported device". How exactly did we get into IMG tags? http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif lol

Alpha, are you sure that the prog you saw running wasn't "mmtask.exe". Check and make sure. If so, then that is a normal Win9x app that handles multimedia extensions to the OS. Many programs make use of it, in addition to the Win9x kernal core.

So..it's a windows app... I always thought it was a SB app...learn something new everyday.

sorry about that alpha, that would be my fault.

It`s just that when CMonster posted his reply, I couldnt think of the words to express myself.

Then I had a problem making it work.

anyway, A picture speaks a thousand words!

PS> and thats what I felt like when I read it, lol

I'm guilty too of diverting from alpha's topic - sorry, alpha. And, one 'whut' image is enough http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif
