Getting rid of Ultimate Defender/Fixer/Cleaner

19 New Member
Can anyone help me get rid of this awful piece of (insert VERY explicit tirade here)

I found some guides on how to manually remove the Ultimate Defender stuff but:

The files does not exist.
The Proccesses does not exist.
The Registry Keys does not exist.

The only thing I have found is a piece of software called Spysweeper but that only scans in the free edition. I have to purchase it to get rid of it.


Does anyone know anything that night help. I'm even willing to mess as deeply with Windows as needed. (WinXP)

Hi Daedalus. My searches turned up this:
Please follow these steps:

1. Download Pocket KillBox or KillBox utility.

2. Use HijackThis to fix the following entries:
R1 - HKCU\Software\M icrosoft\Intern et Explorer\Main,D efault_Page_URL = about:blank
R1 - HKLM\Software\M icrosoft\Intern et Explorer\Main,D efault_Page_URL = about:blank
R0 - HKCU\Software\M icrosoft\Intern et Explorer\Main,L ocal Page = about:blank
R0 - HKLM\Software\M icrosoft\Intern et Explorer\Main,L ocal Page = about:blank
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [czpeexk.dll] C:\WINDOWS\Syst em32\rundll32.e xe "C:\Documen ts and Settings\zzz\Lo cal Settings\Applic ation Data\czpeexk.dl l",rzqlgze
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [AutoSys] C:\WINDOWS\Syst em32\autosys.ex e

3. Now restart your system in Safe Mode. This step is very important!

4. Once in Safe Mode, use either Pocket KillBox or KillBox to delete the following files:
C:\WINDOWS\Syst em32\autosys.ex e
C:\Documents and Settings\zzz\Lo cal Settings\Applic ation Data\czpeexk.dl l
C:\Documents and Settings\zzz\Lo cal Settings\Applic ation Data\rzqlgze.*

5. Reboot your computer. Download the free version of SUPERAntiSpywar e. Install the program, update its definitions and run a complete system scan.

Hi, I've started work on my own control some parts of which use standard controls, others I need to draw on my controls surface to get the display output I require, however.... I seem to be stupid or missing the point. I used DrawString( ) as a simple test but I cannot get it to work at all unless I handle my custom controls Paint event.

I have been testing code out on machines with Windows Defender installed, and the anti-virus software causes VB applications to misbehave. Mouse buttons fail to work correctly with ActiveX controls. Turning off Windows Defender solves the problem. Looks like they're not ready to force this thing on the public quite yet.

I run WD and do not see any spyware detected at all. I then run any or all of Ad-Aware, Spybot and Zone Alarm and spyware is always detected. Obviously WD did not block any of these, and it certainly did not detect them. I get successful updates nearly every day from WD. I have uninstalled and re-installed twice with no change to the problem. What has to be done to get Windows Defender to do what it is intended to do?

Every time my pc starts and Windows Defender run its scan, it classifies the same program as a risk despite me clicking on the Action "Permit." How can I make Windows Defender to permanently recognize this program as trusted or permitted? -- Thanks the community for helping improve the day by day problems we might encounter with new softwares and/or lack of problem solving issues.

Hello! I need to somehow extract the TypeLib ID from a COM-dll compiled using VB6. Is is possible or do I have to look it up in the registry somehow (ie by iterating over TypeLibIDs in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\ and matching the DLL path info? Please excuse any inaccuracies in this post, my understanding of COM is patchy, especially the progid/clsid/typelib part of it.

For the last month, my p.c. has been crashing within 15 minutes from start-up. I have been going through all the possible reasons and have finally identified Windows Defender as the instigator (but maybe not the reason) of these crashes. What happens is this: When Windows Defender starts, it creates a file called TMP000000 followed by a random set of numbers and upper-case letters in the Temp sub-folder of the main WINDOWS folder. This...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
