Registry value name: nosign Command line: c:\WINDOWS\\nosign.exe /STARTUP location: C:\WINDOWS\nosign Description: No version, nothing descriptive from Autoruns or HT, nothing on Google (except several hits on this as an "unknown process") Status: ? (you tell me!) The HT log entry is: O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [nosign] C:\WINDOWS\\nosign.exe Argus If anyone could tell me what this is, I'd appreciate it. If it matters, I've found a second executable in my C:\WINDOWS path called mrdel.exe, that was created within minutes of the "nosign" file (in April of 2005). I cannot for the life of me figure what "nosign" does. I'm not overly worried about malware (my wife may have installed something I don't know about), but should I delete these, or at least disable the autorun on "nosign?" I've posted on a few other forums, but no help yet. If anyone could advise, I'd be appreciative. |

This is all I could find on nosign.exe.
nosign.exe UNSAFE Application/Process Description I couldn't find anything on mrdel.exe, which is usually a bad sign. I suggest you post a HijackThis log for examination, just to be sure you're infection free. Read How to post a HijackThis Log. Please read, and follow, all directions carefully. Then, run a log, and post it in the HijackThis forum, at this link. Do not, fix anything, yet. A member, of the HJT Team, will help you out. It may take a while to get a response, because the HJT Team are very busy. Please, be patient, these people are volunteers. They will help you out, as soon as possible. NOTE: Once you have made the post, please, DO NOT make another post in the HJT forum, until it has been responded to by a member of the HJT Team. The first thing they look for, when looking for logs to reply to, is 0 replies. If you make another post, there will be 1 reply. The team member, glancing over the replies, might assume someone is already helping you out, and will not respond. So, just make your post, and let it sit there, until a team member responds. This way you will be taken care of, in the most timely manner. -------------------- I love being married.
It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy, for the rest of your life. |

Thanks, I've posted it. I think I'm ok, but it never hurts to let the experts look it over.

argus makes digital cameras... i found this trying to figure out the same thing... i knew what it was [not a clue what it does though
 ] as soon as i saw argus... they do make quality cameras but i bought one of their ultra cheap [less than 20usd] sport cameras at walmart... i guess its from their driver cd... if you have something made by argus this would be the common link between us.
