What is wapitr.exe?
[/al_question]Updated 8-Jul-2004: According to the folks out at Kephyr.com, wapitr.exe is part of PurityScan.wtss Adware. While I haven’t tried theirs, they also have a spyware scanner that should clean it.

I have Norton 2003. When I do a complete scan, it identifies these, but will not fix or delete them. How can I get rid of these:
alchem.exe
cdt bbi8016.exe
polall1t.exe
preInsTT.exe
twaintec.dll
wapitr.exe
Please help! Thank You.

I’m running Norton Anti-Virus 2004, and I update every week. Last night NAV ran and gave me a message that the following files weren’t deleted but that I should do something with them (exclude them or ??):
(in addition to the files David Moore listed in his June 23, 2004 message):
apuc.dll
mrkpafqx.exe
MxTarget.dll
polmx3.exe
systb.dll
systb.exe
wupdt.exe
I found all of these in my Windows (XP) directory. What would happen if I renamed these files to something like xx-1, xx-2, etc.?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Hal
They all look virus related. Renaming them is a good idea in case you need to rename back, but it’s what I would do.
Wat is wapiter.exe??? It seems to be making my computer slow down alot:S:S Is it spywear or a virus???
Did you read the article you commented on? It has a pointer to more information.

I’ll direct you to these two articles: http://ask-leo.com/279 and http://ask-leo.com/195
Any files ending with .exe can be deleted by restarting your Windows XP. Before it goes into Windows, press “F8” immediately and then go into Safe Mode. Next choose “Administrator”. Once there, relocate these files ending with .exe and right click on them one by one to delete. Next, restart your computer and you will notice these files are gone.
