I’d be interested to see a rundown on what Lavasoft Web Companion was actually doing.Administration Caution ESET Malware Solutions Tips and Tricks Troubleshooting Windows Windows 7 How to remove win64/sirefef.AE trojan & c:\windows\system32\services.exe win64 patched b.gen trojan It’s another thing entirely to actually see it firsthand. It’s one thing to hear the scare-term “adware”, and laugh off those stupid advertisers who have to include their products as selected-by-default-checkboxes. Really, though, I’m just in disbelief that Web Companion was so blatantly mucking with my system. What the was that DLL doing? Was it sending all my web traffic to Lavasoft servers? If it was, why was it crashing Unity? Why did it cause so many problems after removal? It should be safe to remove the DLL file now.Īt this point, I was good to go, but so many questions still remain. Do so.Īfter restarting, the DLL file will remain as the fixlist.txt only instructs FRST to stop it from hooking into the windows networking system. It’ll exit everything and ask you to restart. Make sure you’re not doing anything important - FRST forcibly exits all programs after running.Move FRST.exe and fixlist.txt into the same folder.Winsock: Catalog9-圆4 05 C:\Windows\system32\LavasoftTcpService64.dll (Lavasoft Limited) Winsock: Catalog9-圆4 04 C:\Windows\system32\LavasoftTcpService64.dll (Lavasoft Limited) Winsock: Catalog9-圆4 03 C:\Windows\system32\LavasoftTcpService64.dll (Lavasoft Limited) Winsock: Catalog9-圆4 02 C:\Windows\system32\LavasoftTcpService64.dll (Lavasoft Limited) Winsock: Catalog9-圆4 01 C:\Windows\system32\LavasoftTcpService64.dll (Lavasoft Limited) Paste the following into a file named fixlist.txt: To summarize the instructions on that page, here’s how you really disable the dll: Interestingly, the solution was on Lavasoft’s very own forums. So, I once again turned to Google for answers, and it delivered. I tried a couple of scanners - Windows Defender and MalwareBytes - and neither of them caught it. I could only assume that this stupid thing was trying to inject itself into all programs that used networking, for who-knows-what nefarious purposes. Perhaps it was just a coincidence, but just to be sure… I moved LavasoftTcpService64.dll back to its original place, and - yep, Heroes of the Storm worked flawlessly. I could deal with this, but a few days later, I also found that the game Heroes of the Storm would just hang at an “Authenticating” screen forever, until I hit the Cancel button.

For some reason, I could only launch Unity in offline mode I couldn’t use my credentials to authenticate. I moved this dll, and Unity launched successfully.īut the problems still didn’t end. This, for some reason, was causing the Unity launcher to crash. It turns out that even after Web Companion is uninstalled, it leaves behind a nice little DLL in system32 named LavasoftTcpService64.dll. I uninstalled it, and all the Bing stuff went away - but Unity kept crashing on start.

I looked around, and found a program I definitely didn’t install called Lavasoft Web Companion. I must have accidentally installed some crapware while installing another program! That would also explain the bing crap. One of the first links I chanced upon when googling the problem mentioned a program called Lavasoft Ad-Aware, and the gears instantly clicked. However, a more pressing problem soon presented itself: Unity (the game engine) kept crashing on start. I dismissed this as some stupid thing I had accidentally done, reset both to the defaults, and went back to whatever I was doing. A while ago, I noticed that my default search engine and new tab page in firefox had been changed to Bing.
