Rating Opinion From Optimize.exe is a virus.The icon is a round funny face like a moon.It won't optimize anything.The virus name is W32 Downloader.Dyfuca.Use F-Prot from dos to get rid of it or else don't open this virus hidden as an exe file. muss gefährlich sein !!! spyware .. I guess it optamizes IE by keeping it hijacked!! If the internet connection is slow and IE cannot find a site "optimze.exe" takes action I'm surprised, something different with my IE. It's become slower. it's a pain in the bass ! opens dozens of window ads....hate it delete it Jesse It was installed from a web radio site through media player without my knowledge or consent The surfer formerly known as the hijack victim before security task manager came into my life Find it.

Jimmy Win32/Rbot.ABO Trojaner Not much except I did n't ask it to download. getting rid of it was easy, just stopped the process and deleted the 2 versions on my system. It's Only Me Was loaded onto my system without knowledge or consent. I believe by scripts on a webpage that opened through a DSO exploit. Brought with it DyFuCa, powersave, VX2, sidesearch, and 180solutions. All in one fell swoop. Killed all of them with Spybot, Ad-aware, and McAfee. Set McAfee to scan for possible unwanted programs. Philip Ist ein Internet-Dialer Same as Philip, after deleting it my internet connection got even more slow (ha, like if it was possible) Martha Es ist Gefährlich und schlau. Ich habe es immer wieder und wieder auf dem Rechner. Ich habe keine Chance. Michael Spy Ware. It's in the temp directory. delete it. then create a text file, name it "optimize.exe" and make it read only. that's the end. mdeadly it came with talktalk internet provider 1meg broadband also installed as soon as i connect (even after removing) in process's are Windows add tools,DYFUCA,POWERSCAN,IST BAR.SLOTCH,LSPLIST,SHOP AT HOME all this with talktalk in the uk mr bones Loaded w/o consent, definate spyware XPMaster Was loaded onto my system without knowledge or consent from www.emp3world.com. Got powersave, sidesearch, 180solutions, too. Also got a lot of new bookmarks into my favorites and c:\xnqxr.exe (6144 Bytes). I identified all installed files by last modification date (all files within sysdate + 2 minutes), deleted them under plain dos, removed exenames from the run section in the registry. These all seems to be trojans / spyware. Don't know what xnqxr.exe does. All other exefiles on my systems are unchanged, so it doesn't seem to be a virus. Googled for xnqxr.exe, but found nothing... Martin Generell: Optimizer=danger Hunger Admilliserv or admillikeep Holly Optimizer can be installed by an OCX. So if u click ok to install some junk from a site, or numerous other ways. Regardless it sucks when it just installs itself on your computer when you are looking for articles on physics. GRRR Is very hard to elimnate the task Thinboarddrill that it's annoying, I deleted it with norton and it still hijacks mi IE when it's finding the page. Jenny Rose Found it trying to access the internet stopped by McAfee Personal Firewall. Loaded without my knowledge, so I suspect a script from a web page did it. McAfee VirusScan does a good job of deleting it and its entries in the registry. Jack So far I've found out it needs to die badly. My aunt's dial-up was working smoothly for about 4 days, then all of a sudden, it's like the system hit a brick wall. Pages don't load and many features of XP don't work. For example, I can't open up the task manager under the admin's name because pop-up message tells me that the system's admin disabled that feature, yet Chris It's a spyware/trojan. It was installed during the Win2k Service Pack Update(!) together with other trojans: W32.spybot.worm (winole.exe, mueehd.exe), AdwareIST.bar (IST Toolbar), Dowloader.trojan (winfix17.exe). If u set up a new system, make sure firewall runs b4 windows update or it's a pain in the.. :o) To kill optimizer it has to be uninstalled (preferences, software), then reboot, shut down the process, login as admin (not local user) and kill it under local user where it hides. me2 Optimize.exe is a virus.The icon is a round funny face like a moon. Search your hard disk for the file, Use task manager to kill the process, then delete the file. Use ZoneAlarm to catch it tryin go to access the internet.. LegionUK Spionagesoftware GF Turns off anti-virus applications, Downloads code from the internet, Installs itself in the Registry. darn thing. who needs it.

It appears in "Add/remove programms" but can't be uninstalled like that myself I hate it with it numerious spyware came thru with it.

XPMaster nothing but problems caused havoc on many computers Kann das gesamte System lahm legen Admin (Oberhausen) I had not only the optimize.exe file but I had ISTbar.exe too. Optimize wasn't so difficult to remove. ISTbar,exe is a very nasty file. I couldn't remove the file with Adaware first before I discovered the file kgcnjc.exe. I ended the processes kgcnjc.exe first, optimize,exe, powerscan and last istsvc.exe. After that ADaware removed all harmfull files which were responsible for this misery.
