Hello, I am having trouble removing this malicious file from my computer, It is very annoying as it opens up hidden web pages and the sounds can be heard through my speakers. Does anyone know of any good free software that would permanently remove ceswxfst.sys and tcexfst.sys
Configuration: Windows XP Firefox 2.0.0.16
Just figured the solution to this!

So far i have seen little evidence to indicate a privacy breach, and it is probably most likely that the software was made to cause irritation, but i have no idea who made it, or alternatively what other risks it poses. I think i got it from a duff keygen or crack for Photoshop CS3 (Serves me right)

I had to remove all of these (although it's possible this is more than one infection/problem):

Thank you all guys for your assistance. My laptop kept playing random sound clips at random times. I read all your posts and disabled and deleted all suspected files. So far my computer hasn't played these clips at all so it has appeared to work. This is my work computer and my IT guy lives and swears by Symantec, which did not catch any of these files at all. I keep hounding him about not using Symantec, but obviously that has gotten me nowhere. One thing I did notice though. On the icon for the sobicyt.exe file, I had to squint to read it, but it read TS Online. I googled TS Online and it pulled up various links to "gaming" sites among a few sites regarding online learning. One of these sites might be a mirror site that keeps planting these files on our PC's. Anyway, thanks for the help guys. |
Cfexfst.sys

Thanks for this! I had all them files but the only one that seemed to create sound for me was edtxfst.sys. And this one keeps appearing back in the processes. I kill the process then delete the file and have followed what Ehsan said to do :/

I too followed the suggestions and found and deleted all the files. My Norton anti virus program keeps picking up however the following exe files with different ending and beginning numbers. A0090039.exe. Norton is putting them in quarntine. I'm not sure of the source. Any suggestions? Can I delete the source once I find out what it is? |
I am having the same problem. The only thing is that I have looked every where for the files that you all have listed on the page and I can't find them. I still keep getting the music, radio station and other non sense on the speakers. I press F5 and it refreshes the screen and goes away. It will periodically reappear and I have to hit F5 to get rid of it again. There must be something that we can do or it will come back over and over and over again. I have been going through this for the last 4 months now. It sucks. I leave my speakers off just so I don't hear it. Also from time to time I get a pop up with a broken link. Pretty sure that comes with whats going on. I run Spybot non stop but that doesn't work, then Regcure and doesn't work and the virus systems that I have don't pick up crap. I used Norton 360 and Avast. Need some serious help.
