Default gltdwif.exe


I've googled web/newsgroups & searched this group but haven't seen anything
on this file except 1 unanswered question by another user. Today my firewall
advised that it was trying to access the internet. It is located on my win2k
Pro sp4 machined in c:\winnt and the properties give no info at all, just
that it's 20k. This is suspect in itself. I e-mailed the file to
scan@virustotal per the thread on gedwipes.dll. In the meantime I've renamed
the file gltdwif.old until further clarification. Anyone have any info on
this? Thanks.

A trojan downloader does exactly as it name describes. It downloads
harmfull programs from the internet. IstBar downloads spyware to your
computer. This is detected and removed by MS Antispyware and Spybot
S&D to my knowledge. I think Adware also detects the same. This seems
to be a new version though. I know Kaspersky detects quite a few other
versions of IstBar.

I run Ad-Aware & AntiVir - it got by both, as well as SpywareBlaster. I
noticed that Computer Associates is offering their anti-virus software free
for 1 year, but I see relatively little mention of their prog. I wonder why.

You'll get a nod of approval in; a.c.v and a.c.a-v for CA eTrust.

CA eTrust -
http://www.my-etrust.com/microsoft/index.cfm - FREE for one year.
{ Free offer ends 8/1/05 }

Did you follow my instructions for TrendMicro Sysclean posted in the thread in a.c.a-v ?
