What Is Loht.exe?

[MusicChick]

Has anyone ever heard of something called loht.exe? I started having problems with my computer today, and somehow I pressed Ctrl Alt Delete, and I saw loht running on my computer. I think it also came up on my ad watch program. Anyway, it is located in C:\Windows\Application Data folder. It was installed or modified yesterday at 4:39 am. I went to some websites to find some cracks I needed, I think at about that time. Could that program have come from one of those sites? I don't know what it is, so I'm afraid to delete it. It isn't a virus, cause I went to Trend Micro and scanned my computer. Can someone help?

do a search for it and delete it.

Sure you spelled it right? Google doesn't have it. What system, win98? CAn you end the process? It won't delete it, it'll just stop whatever it's doing.

I will delete it but I was wondering what it was. BTW are there any crack sites that won't install stuff on your comp?

I got a serial site that offers you to download something once, then i got a crack/serial site that offers a download ever time you try to get a serial(also a porn pop up pops up). Then i got a warez site that dosent send you anything but there site.

I&#39;m using Windows 98 SE. I end the process but everytime I restart my computer which I think I&#39;ve done for about 7 times today :angry:, it freezes up. I&#39;m guessing its this program. And yea it loht.exe. I found something called Purify or such on my comp and got rid of it with Spy Sweeper. But this whatever it is wasn&#39;t detected by it or ad aware.

do a search and delete it.

And do a full system scan.

Nope I wish I did. That way I could pinpoint what this is.

@Shad0w Hacker I&#39;ve gone to crack sites that do that. Sometimes on the bottom of Internet Explorer it will say "Installing cab009" etc. Maybe that could be it.

Go to symantec too,and scan for trojans here

I Scanned with a virus scanner and with Spy Sweeper and Ad Aware. It didn&#39;t detect it as spyware, or a virus.

Going to those kinda sites you need alot of security; antivirus, proxy, pop-up/banner blocker, and firewall.

Know of a good banner or popup blocker?

spybot routinely catches things that ad-aware misses. If spybot says its harmless, it probably is. And also there is an "immunize" function built in to spybot that will immunize ie from bad downloads. I can&#39;t recommend that yet, as i have not needed it/tried it yet.

Norton security is a firewall/pop-up blocker/banner block. Works very well.

i like Adsubtract can lock adds, pop ups, images, bck music, java, cookies.....a few more things you can also pick what to do with what site eg all sites i have pop ups blocked but for this forum it allows popups so i can get PM&#39;s ... i have found it a very good program so far i have all the comps here at home going through a proxy (for HTTP) then through Adsubtract and it handels it no prob
