So are you telling me that the file doesn't need to be on my computer at
all? Should I use HijackThis to delete the file on reboot??
As my Brother Mow told you, your computer is infected with the Vundo trojan
- possibly one of the variants that is very difficult to remove. You will
need guided help. Go to one of the specialty forums that Mow gave you the
links for, register, and read its posting FAQ. You will generally be asked
to:
1. Download and execute HiJack This! (HJT) -
http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/threat_analytics/HJTInstall.exe
2. Disable Notepad's word wrap - In Notepad.exe; Format --> uncheck; "Word
wrap"
3. Download/run Deckard's System Scanner -
http://www.techsupportforum.com/sectools/Deckard/dss.exe
4. Save the scan results (Main.txt and Extra.txt)
5. And then post the contents of Main.txt and Extra.txt in your post at the
forum you chose. DO NOT POST LOGS IN THE MS NEWSGROUPS.
If you can't do the work yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair
shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). Please be
aware that not all local shops are skilled at removing malware and even if
they are, your computer may be so infested that Windows will need to be
clean-installed. If possible, have all your data backed up before you take
the machine into a shop.
PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR HJT LOG HERE IN THE MS NEWSGROUPS.
