You're starting to sound a lot like me, John! (or is it me sounding like you?)
Either way, I'd be mildly alarmed...

Good idea! When the drive is re-formatted to EXT2, EXT3, or EXT4 file systems, malicious code written for Windows can't survive.
It is one of life's great mysteries why Microsoft continues to use their ancient NT file system...

OK had a brief look yesterday eve and this morning (the main problem here is that I have almost no time to devote to solving this problem).
In safe mode, this is what Sophos comes up with:
Warning: Failed to query live registry key \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. You may not have access rights to the whole registry.
Area: Windows registry
Description: Hidden registry key
Location: \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SAM
Removable: No
Notes: (no more detail available)
As regards the 2 iexplore.exes, I took a look at them using ProcExp, and the properties are as follows
Path
C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
Command Line
Removed as suggested below
Current directory
C:\Documents and Settings\Marc\Bureau\
Path
C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
Command Line
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" SCODEF:5460 CREDAT:79873
Current directory
C:\Documents and Settings\Marc\Bureau\

Looks like that blacboa URL is your first problem.
That page contains nothing but a script, according to web-sniffer.net
FWIW my properties show no URL after the iexplore program path.
It may be a problem that it is a clickable link above, and NOBODY CLICK ON IT!
mglinert, if you can still edit it, please remove it so nobody accidently clicks on it. It's a public link to an infected site.

Gosh sorry Bob -Sorry everyone. HOpe no one was rash enough to click on it.
I can see now that I will almost certainly have to reformat the drive.
In my BitDefender Firewall have just set the following rule
Path: c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe
Any command line
Deny access
Yes I can still use IE to access the web!
I guess my concerns now are more these:
Where else might this malware reside?
Is my external HDD, on which my data is backed up, also infected?
After a Windows reinstall is there still a risk that the malware will have survived?
Thanks everyone
Marc

Better safe than sorry. What you have sounds nasty if antimalwaremalware didn't find it. I'd update the antimalware and run again in safe mode. It keeps prett current and a couple days can make a difference; I've seen that happen on a firends machine.
Is there a chance the external drive is indected? Can't rule it out.
If the problem comes back that's one thing to suspect.
I'd unhook it for a couple days after fixing, see if everything seems OK, then pay attention after hooking it back up.. if it comes back you know there's an issue.
You don't show any unusual services running in task manager?
I often start looking for clues on what the infection is right there in taskmanager. Google the processes, and see what it is. Be careful where you go to check, as some of the sites that turn up will offer to run a 'free scan'... and you probably want to avoid that.
Personally I'd google that url too and see if others reported problems related to it.
Also, I'd search BitDefender support to see if there is a way to check that behavior.
Reformatting often results in a loss of a lot of data, and I try to avoid that first, even if time is a factor. Depends on how recent your backup was.
I looked at the main home page for that URL you showed previousy and it has a script to write the URL into favorites right away if IE is browser, then forcibly using a command common in other browsers using javascript before the page even loads. Then it runs some php commands I didn't want to try to follow. Pretty nasty site there for both pages I looked at the code for ..

I’ve been researching this a bit on the superspecialised web sites (majorgeeks, bleeping computer and what have you).
Apparently, the software protects itself from AV scans through changes it has made to the system at the registry level of even deeper.
One of the tools that is most frequently recommended for removing this protection in order to get at the malware is Kaspersky’s ‘TDSSkiller.exe’.
I can get this on to my machine, but it won’t run even when renamed (although it will on my other systems).
The standard procedure thereafter seems to involve the tools DDR, Gmer and Combofix and much expert analysis of the logs produced by these tools. The humble user is advised not to attempt to use these tools without supervision, so I have not.
Also, there are any number of support threads of this type which go on for pages (and weeks) and finish up with a still infected system.
The main symptoms I have are two bogus instances of iexplore.exe which start up shortly after bootup and without my having opened IE.
There seem to be a number of sites at the end of the command line that opens. If I close down one, the new process that opens to replace it is likely to have a different site in the command line, but they all appear to be equally suspect. These URLs are clearly written into the software (malware) as they appear when my connection is disabled.
The other symptom – which I appear to experience less frequently, if at all now – is URL redirect following searches with search engines.
When my internet connection is enabled, I note (from the BitDefender activity window) that data is being downloaded through these processes into my system; so far I have never seen any outbound data (i.e. data being uploaded from my system).
My guess now is that this infection pre-dated the installation of the ‘WindowsRepair’ virus, which must have been downloaded on to the PC through these processes. Indeed this kind of unwanted installation may be the very point of the iexplore.exe infection.
“Reformatting often results in a loss of a lot of data, and I try to avoid that first, even if time is a factor. Depends on how recent your backup was.”
Surely reformatting results in the loss of all data?
I can backup now (the system is still very much up and operational).
I have scanned my external drive (MalwareBytes, BitDefender) and it comes up clean, but then again so does my internal drive.
If there were just some failsafe way to stop any process called iexplore.exe from running, then that would help.
Thanks a lot Bob for your help

Marc,
I told you what to do. Why don't you do it?
Oren I guess he don't trust us Linux users. LOL

John,
I really appreciate your help and advice.
As Oren says above:
“If you have no previous experience with Linux and a live CD, think it over carefully. Success requires that you understand the fundamentals of your specific Windows release, plus a working knowledge of Linux and Live CDs - for instance, how to do an md5sum integrity confirmation of your download.”
I have never even seen a Linux system, let alone used one. And I have only the most cursory understanding of my own OS.
One of the principles I try to use in problem solving is not to make the situation worse than it is already.
While it is quite possible that a Linux- based clean up tool would take a look at my dormant Windows system, decide which file or files are the culprit and suitably eliminate them, I have no assurance of this scenario.
Also I am just a little surpised that this solution – if it is as risk free and effective as you suggest - is not more widely recommended in the specialist AV and PC support fora.
So, as Oren suggests, I am still thinking it over.
The solutions I plan to implement, in order, are as follows:
- continue Windows-based remedies and scans until I have reasonably exhaused them
- attempt to remount the image backup I have made with Reflect in the hope that it was made before any of this started occurring
- alternative OS based solution on bootable media (your recommended approach)
- reformat of internal HD and reinstallation of W XP (in the hope that my backed up data is not also infected)
All of these take a fair amount of time, which I do not have what with a FT job, a young family, a gigging band etc.
Because I have not performed your suggestion yet does not mean I have ruled it out.
Thanks again,
Marc

Marc, if I were in your shoes I'd back up valuable data and then zap the bloody lot and start over with a re-format clean install of Windows 7 64 bit. Your symptoms sound extemely scary to me and I wouldn't muck about trying to repair things. I trust you don't do online banking as I'd be petrified of key loggers stealing my passwords. Sorry to sound alarmist, but it sounds like you need to regain confidence in your system.
My PC became slow a couple of months ago and although I had none of the scary stuff going on which you describe I nevertheless lost confidence. I keep copies of my important stuff an an external drive, so reformatted and installed Windows 7 64 bit and have never looked back. It was a pain re-installing a lot of music apps like plugins, etc. but the PC runs smooth and fast now.
John

I don't disagree with a reformat.It's an opportune time to get a fresh install.I wouldn't take that machine from XP to Win7x64 though.Not yet anyway.
What I wouldn't do though is back up the data on an infected machine and then reinstall it on a clean machine. There are some real nasty viruses that are know to corrupt EXE., like programs that you may have saved the EXE in a folder, files and when you go and reload these programs BANG back to square one.That's why it best to try and clean the thing as much as you can first or you've got to bite the bullet and reformat the drive without saving anything.And then you may not be good. It can be bad. Sorry.

That Kapersky tool (and the one from AVG) is designed to function within the comfort zone of a Microsoft user, but still work with Windows disabled - and contain the open-source (Linux) elements required to recognise and eliminate Microsoft-dependent malicious code.
Invasive software that relies upon Windows' vulnerabilities to hide and "mutate" can not perform its trickery when your Microsoft operating system is dormant and Linux (from AVG or Kapersky) is running the show.
Just make sure all your imortant files are backed up, then procede with confidence.
Worst case - you accidentally scramble your drive and have to re-format. If this goes down, wipe the drive squeaky clean with "Darryl's Boot and Nuke" (D-BAN) and reformat to NTFS. Your system will be sanitized and ready for a fresh install... not such a bad thing...

Marc I like your caution. I have always thought the expression "Don't do anything until you know what to do" has served me well through the years.

I'm certain when Oren said your "important files", he meant your data files; text files, mp3s, waves, Biab music files, etc. Unless you are a programmer or an extreme advanced user, I highly doubt you would need to back up any executable files; ".exe", "bat", ".com", etc. Your critical data files should be safe from malware infections, and once they have been copied to cd, dvd, or a separate usb drive, you can scan them when your system has been cleaned by one of the many processes mentioned here.
Lastly, I would like to suggest that since you live in France (found in your profile), you might do a search for some knowledgeable, friendly local Linux help. Europe seems to be a bastion for Linux.

G'day Marc, I would have no trouble with using either the Kaspersky or AVG disks. I suspect you do not have a root kit or the root kit killer you tried would have fixed it. Root kit killers do only that, kill root kits. They are not normal AV or Anti malware tools and do not look for anything other than root kits. hmm, there's a lot of root kits there...  Whatever malware is left is clearly hiding from your AV software so a tool like the Kaspersky or AVG boot CD is a good tool to use.
--=-- My credo: If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing - just ask my missus, she'll tell ya  --=--You're only paranoid if you're wrong!

Marc,
If you're worried about infections being on your backup, don't remount the image backup.
Just backup your data and reformat and do a clean install.
When you're done your machine will be like new. Clean and fast and then make an image backup.
Wayne,

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!
With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!
Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound!
