Hi All
I have this virus on my computer and I cannot find any programs
that can fix it, does anyone have any ideas and maybe where I may have got
it from.
Thanks Gaz
 
Hi
I did some virus scans and this came up, it's in System32 and whenever
it's deleted it just keeps coming back, I Googled it and found many
references but have not been able to removed it. I hides in many programs,
stops windows update, disables restore, stopped a lot of programs working eg
MPC, email backup etc.
 
Hi
I'll have a look at that program, but I think I'll probably do a
reinstall, but as I had some time I decided to try and get rid of it in case
I got it back after a re-install.
As you might see in the log I have tried the following virus programs to fix
the problem-
Avast
Avira
CWShredder
DrWeb
F-Secure
Mc.AFee
Multi Virus
NOD32
Prevx
Sophos
Spyware Blaster
Virus Keeper
CA
Zonealarm
Trend
Adaware
Most of them just scanned straight over the files, CA found and cleaned them
but haveen't cleaned this system properly and I think Zonealarm has blocked
it from the other computers on the network.

SpywareBlaster doesn't get rid of any infestations. It, however, is a great
free program to keep a lot of malware from ever getting on your computer.
Before you waste any money, try the following two free programs:
1) SuperAntiSpyware---- SuperAntiSpyware.com (also referred to as
SAS )
2)MalwareBytes Anti-Malware---- Malwarebytes.org (also referred to as
MBAM)

They are highly recommended in Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware newsgroups.
DL, install, update and then run each one by itself.
NO, they do not charge you to fix any problems they may find.

I call those appz suckerware, where they ostensibly find loads of
problems, offer to fix a small percentage free, and want bucks to fix
the rest.
 
Hi
Thanks for them, I'll give them a try.

You are so misinformed!
They don't charge anything and their free editions scan and fix just as
thoroughly as their paid versions.
WAKE UP and get off the sauce. :)
PS: One of the main differences in the paid and free versions is that the
free versions are on-demand only while their free versions are real-time, if
you set them that way. There are some other benefits for the paid versions,
but detection and removal are the same for both.

First off - **** You, you ignorant shit!
I wasn't referring to SAS nor MBAM, two excellent programs, but instead
the type I mentioned where they do as I indicated and offer to fix
'some' of many indicated problems. Problems I might add that other
malware detectors generally don't consider such.
Just curious: Why the hostile tone right off the bat?
It only demeans your credibility and might discourage someone from the
two best applications going for detection and remediation of today's
type of malware, MBAM & SAS.

Well then, stupid,
learn how to reply to a post.
If you read your reply to me, you will see how you ****ed up, you arrogant
a-hole.

Hi
I managed to find full versions of these programs, but if they won't
clean a "virut" I won't try them.
What would you suggest, I'm just in the middle of trying the procedure from
your claymania link, but it's taken 24 hours for stinger to scan all my
files, I'll finish both procedures and report back.
As a low risk virus I'm surprised how hard it is to detect and remove, (for
good).
I'll buy the program that fixes it if there is one, but I have lost all
faith in these programs and there claims.

Hi
I'll give that a go, I want to try everything in case I get it again as
I don't know where it came from in the first place. I'm buying a new puter
this weekend so I'll wipe the old one after I get it going.

The chances are you will have to wipe the PC and reinstall the OS from scratch.

However you can try removing the hard disk from the affected computer and placing it in/on
a surrogate PC.

Then use the McAfee module of my Multi AV Scanning Tool and use McAfee to scan the
affected drive in/on that surrogate PC.

That's what I did when I had the same problem. However, in retrospect,
I wonder if a repair-install would have been a faster yet satisfactory
solution. If I recall correctly, I used the Avira Rescue CD...

http://www.free-av.de/en/tools/12/avira_antivir_rescue_system.html

....to detect and delete the infected files and was still able to boot
into Windows afterwards, just not do much useful with it. Too bad I
forgot to back up the drivers with DoubleDriver while I still could.

Curious, what do you mean by the full versions? If you mean the paid
versions, did you get them from a Warez site?
If so, beware of an infected version,
Buffalo
Sorry, I didn't know you were dealing with a virus for sure and that is why
I recommended the two programs.
