stcpm.exe

Question

Hi , I have this pop up from Norton Internet Security that reads:   Program Control  Low Risk  stcpm.exe is attempting to connect to a DNS server. What do you want to do? It then gives me the following options: -Always allow connections from this program on all ports (Recommended) - Alwasy block connections from this program on all ports -Manually configure Internet Access   I have chosen the (Recommended) one and clicked ok but the pop up will not go away. It just keeps popping up. Can someone help me fix this???   Thanks, Mary

What program is stcpm trying to run? Is it something you just installed?

Do a search in your C drive for stcpm.exe. and it should show you where it is. You'll probably know what it's running by the names of the folders it's in.

In general, I would be careful in granting any unknown program access.   However, if you are associated with UCLA, they have a program by that name (STCPM) that checks to see whether you have all critical Windows Updates installed. See: http://resnet.ucla.edu/techupdate.html   If this applies to your situation, then I wouldn't worry. Sorry, but I can't help with the recurrent popup problem- perhaps another NIS user can help.

If the file is located in your program files it's probably your UCLA software. If not, and if it's located in windows system or system32, you have the WIN32.RBOT Worm.

If you don't know how to check this, you should post a HijackThis log here.
