shellcon hidden shows up on shut down

kitkat13,

Searching Google for shellcon hidden window led to two recent but inconclusive threads about this problem, one at nocrash.com and the other at techguy.org.

The possibility that it's malware-related is worth pursuing.

First, make sure your antivirus software definitions are current, and scan your system for viruses. If that doesn't resolve the problem, download, install, update and run Ad-Aware and Spybot as described in this article.

If the problem still isn't resolved, download HijackThis, a malware analysis and removal tool, and submit the log it produces for analysis.

Here's an illustrated guide to installing and running HijackThis that you may find helpful.

Copy and paste the contents of the log you saved in a new message in the Virus/Spyware Information and Removal board. Be sure to describe the problem you're experiencing. DON'T ATTEMPT TO FIX ANYTHING REPORTED BY HIJACKTHIS without expert advice!

There are lots more people with malware problems they haven't been able to resolve than there are expert HijackThis analysts, so please be patient.

Since this is really not a network problem, you would have better luck getting an answer if you posted in the software forum for the version of Windows you have.  For example, if you have Windows XP, you should post in the Software - Windows XP forum.

kitkat13,

The MajorGeeks.com Web site is apparently down or unavailable tonight. I don't know what's wrong. Try downloading HijackThis from SpyChecker.com.
