Possible virus (?) help.

[Saint_clark]

When logging onto the computer a blank window opens up with the title google EULA, with no cross in the top right and you cannot right click on the toolbar at the bottom. I open up task manager and it is under processes - EULA.exe and EULAloader.exe.

I close them both and the window disappears, but nearly everytime I log on or open up the internet it happens again. It isn't a program according to my computer, so I can't uninstall it in the control panel. Is it a virus or just a download from Google which f*cked up?

Help would be much appreciated as it is f*cking annoying having to open up task manager every time you log on.

Sounds like a corrupt google app to me. Do you have any google applications installed at all?

What is EULA.exe?

 

EULA.exe (Eula) is an executable from the software McAfee Eula version 1.0.10 by McAfee. EULA.exe version 1.0.10 has a file size of 102,400 bytes, and is most commonly found under the directory "install_vso_10021_en-us.tmp" with a creation date of November 2, 2005. This is not a known spyware, adware, or trojan executable.

Are you running Google Chrome (or whatever the browser was called)?

Here's a home patch/fix from someone on a forum:

 

If you don't want to read this, then this is the easy answer: Toolbar EULA: Toolbar EULA

 

 

 

Oh I tried all the things you (the internet at large) told me to do...NOPE! Didn't work.

 

I tried to shut it down with task manager= didn't show up on task manager

Tried to right click and close it= didn't have that option

For those of you who seem to think there is a 'button' on this page somewhere to close it= there is NOT!

I uninstalled the program= it still gives me the same page after computer boots up

I deleted all temporary files= it did nothing, still came back

I restarted, rebooted, shutdown, did all kind of combinations of the previously mentioned= that did nothing.

 

Oh get this all you clever people out there, after uninstalling my 'toolbar' as it were there was NO box to 'unclick' in the run/msconfig/tabs that you were talking about also I could find no EULA.EXE (until I got into the Dell/ecenter file)...but I did unclick the windows sidebar, all that = NOTHING!

 

I went into Dell/ecenter and found the EULA and EULALAUNCHER I clicked on them and indeed these were the culprits of the page! BUT WAIT!!!! The system would not let me delete them!!! so that also= NOTHING!

 

So guess what? I renamed the applications (because apparently you can do that without any adverse effects or rebelious systems trying to thwart you). I renamed them to crap and crap2! Yes, I renamed both applications just to make sure...SO TAKE THAT! And you know what? I restarted my computer to successfully never seeing that toolbar EULA page again.

 

That is the easy fix my friends....and now, I bet I could delete them because the system is no longer trying to use them!

 

Yep, easy to delete now that the system is not trying to use them!

The only google app. I have is Desktop. Didn't really want to uninstall that, but I guess i'll have to if the suggestions above don't work.

Cheers guys.

Google desktop is full of errors - I use it too though. Uninstall and reinstall it.

 

I've got this error from a few brand new dell systems.
