SpySheriff displays secure32.html - where does Secure32.html come from?

Question:
My computer got infected with Spysheriff and I was able to remove it. But it still shows a blue background and the bogus warning as the background - which is set up in file c:secure32.html. When I delete the file, it comes back. Where does this Secure32.html come from?Answer:
The file secure32.html is generated by a program called Paytime.exe.Paytime.exe is located in C:\WINDOWS\system32\paytime.exe
How to solve this problem:
- Bring up your taskmanager by pressing Control + Alt + Delete, in some Windows versions select the 'Processes' tab. Then click on 'Paytime.exe' and end the task.
- Delete paytime.exe, which you should find under c:WindowsSystem32
- Delete c:secure32.html
- Run Explorer. It will tell you that it cannot find the path for secure32.html. Use the default configuration of Explorer and everything will be OK.

Funny, I tried all the steps and it works on two of my 3 XP accounts but the third one will not correct. It still wants to go to secure32..... I guess I can just have that person immediately go to favorites and switch to their home page.
Any other ideas though? Thanks. | ||

Hartelijk dank, dit werkt voortreffelijk! Wie bedenkt deze troep? Gelukkig kan ik nu weer mijn eigen startpagina gebruiken, dat kon overigens toch wel mar met een omweg. Nogmaals dank! | ||

thanks a lot. Everything worked as stated till the last statement 'Use the default configuration of Explorer and everything will be OK'. Meaning, anytime I statrt explorer it demands the so called ' c:secure32.html

Gilles Berkovitch. Fortunately, that damned Playtime thing does not seem to harm furthermore the machine, beside the silly home page. | ||
