I have been trying now for three days to get rid of the virus but no anti
virus program (NOD 32 , Sophos, kaspersky) are able to find any thing. I am
sure I have one since it blocks every anti virus program I have tried except
sophos and all so blocks Win XP patch WindowsXP-KB823980-x86-ENU.exe and
Zone Firewall. I have manged to scan my computer from Safe mode but as I
sad the anti virus program does not find anything.
Please help me I am going mad
 
If you have a fat partittion try to boot with a dos disk and do a scan with
up to date definitions.

What exactly do you mean by "blocks" these programs? What error
messages are you getting and when? Does it block other programs?

Did you recently _remove_ some virus or trojan?

I've never heard of one that blocks a Windows patch, but there are
plently that mess with ...exefile\shell\open\command and make a real
mess if you delete files without fixing that.

by blockin I meant I start to scan and after few second the scaner just
shuts down no mesage notihing
same thing happend with zone firewall but then I got mesage that something
shutdown Vector engine or something like that, and kaspersky monitor all so
gave message that some process did not give its name just "" is trying tu
shut it down no other programs were afected by it at least I think so.
and I did remove recently remove virus swizzor.c when all this crap started
I did scans from safe mode and I fonud swizzor.c and removed it but problem
did not go away then as a last resort I formated c: I know that it is not
complete solution but I did not know what to do.
Then I setup the system again and it worked OK for a day then it started
again.
And that is my life story .

If those three products didn't find anything, your chances if your problem
being virus related are very slim.
 
how about pluggin the drive to other computer and do scan from there, you
may have enough time to clean it.
 
I can scan it from safe mode but the problem is that anti-virus programs do
not find any virus.

What about that Windows update EXE? What exactly happened when you
tried to run that? Same thing?

I'm not finding any description that says Swizzor shuts down antivirus
programs - it changes the browser homepage and presents ads and
downloads files to update itself.

When you formatted, was it a thorough format, or did you retain system
files?
Then I setup the system again and it worked OK for a day then it started
again.

So at this point we're looking for an unknown. Rather than have you
running all over trying to find something to ID it, let's cut to the
chase.

You might want to ask about anything suspicious you find _before_
deleting.
