hello, here I am again. Solved my .EXE problem....was a trojan (downloader.agent.uj...lol) and after that my w2k thanked me by going haywire: my keyboard is not Norwegian anymore and when i change it and need to reboot, the W2K startwindow (how to start with W2K) appears which I havent seen since I installed it for many YEARS ago...lol...my IE changes form without me asking for it, my Outlook Express (which i dont use) all of a sudden asks for my mailattention etc etc...

have: W2K, IE60 (all updated up to yesterday), Sygate, AVG (both the antivirus and th antispyware) Spybot, Spysweeper, regcure and msn 7.0..............

What now....?Did you happen to start W2K in Last Known Good Configuration as part of trying to rid the trojan?nope.....lol.....maybe W2K felt itself "lost in space"? But the IE thing comes every time I start up W2K, strangely enough and the keyboard thing is like a flashlight, on out on out on out

oh yes and the Windows Mediaplayer doesnt recognize MP3 files anymore and wont PLAY them, movies it does play but without sound....but I use often the VCL-player...

My W2K is very old but updated completely, it's build 2195...and official license...How did you fix your trojan problem?Like this:the trojan was situated in the memory

How to remove Trojan.Downloader.uj

I have previous posted about the Windows threat ‘Trojan.downloader.uj’ and that I have build a removal help tool for it.

I think it would be best for all if I post here some removal steps for this special threat which is really tricky, since it is a trojan but uses userland rootkit techniques.

Here are the steps:

Download the file "rmdlagentuj.exe" from following location: http://fileserver.ewido.net/public.cgi?id=20845
Execute the file "rmdlagentuj.exe" if it was SUCCESSFUL you will get a message dialog where you will be asked to reboot
Reboot your computer (Important!)
Execute a complete system scan with ewido anti-spyware 4.0 ( http://www.ewido.net )
It's hard to kill Win2000, but after enough time and insults it may be time to reinstall and start anew. A good format and reinstall solves all Windows problems for a while.  I agree, it sounds like this 'tool' has reverted your W2K back to the Windows defaults or last known good configuration.
Is there any way you can question the guy who made the tool?
