Dump the contents of the IE Temporary Internet Folder cache (TIF)
Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> Internet Options --> Delete Files

Dump the contents of the Mozilla FireFox Cache { if you use FireFox }
Tools --> Options --> Privacy --> Cache --> Clear


Download CLEAN.EXE from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/clean.exe

It is a self-extracting ZIP file that contains the Kixtart Script Interpreter
{ http://kixtart.org Kixtart is CareWare } three batch files, two Kixtart scripts, two Link
(.lnk) files and a PDF instruction file.

GETFILES.BAT -- For downloading (FTP) the files needed to run the McAfee Command Line
Scanner. If you are using Windows XP, you may have to disable the Windows XP FireWall to
allow the FTP utility to download the needed files

CLEAN.BAT -- For running within Windows after running c:\mcafee\GetFiles.BAT. If you choose
to scan again at a future date, run this batch file. It will automatically check the date
of the McAfee DAT files and if it is a couple of days old, it will download (FTP) the latest
signature files and install them before performing the scan.

DOSCLEAN.BAT -- For use on a Win9x/ME PC or on a Win2K/WinXP PC that is using FAT32 after
you have booted from an Emergency Boot Disk or DOS disk and have already executed;
c:\mcafee\GetFiles.BAT from within Windows. DOS disk boot images can be obtained from;
http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm

I need you to perform the following...

Execute; CLEAN.EXE
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

Execute; c:\mcafee\GetFiles.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'GetFiles Link' in c:\mcafee }

Reboot the PC into Safe Mode [F8 key during boot]

Shutdown as many applications as possible !
It would also help for you to read - "How to perform a clean boot in Windows XP"
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353

Execute; c:\mcafee\CLEAN.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Clean Link' in c:\mcafee }

A final report in HTML format called C:\mcafee\ScanReport.HTML will be generated. At the
end of the scan, it will be displayed in your browser (Opera, FireFox or Internet Explorer).
It is suggested that you move the report out of c:\mcafee before performing another scan.
It would be a good idea to scan in Safe Mode and in Normal Mode and save a copy of the HTML
report for each session.

Wow - didn't realise it would take all of this - I got a firewall message
last week that bla.exe was trying to access the internet. I did not allow
it and ran McAfee virus checker, spybot, the cleaner, and adware all of
which failed to find anything nasty. I did a search for bla.exe on my
system - found two files and deleted them manually. I assumed I had got rid
of everything. I then contacted McAfee and asked them what it was - their
support person had no record of it. I searched Symantecs site and McAfees
and there is nothing about it. So what is careware?

Update - Well this is so weird. As McAfee hadn't picked anything up I
decided to do an on-line pandasoftware scan. It immediately it picked
something up I had a box come up from McAfee saying it had found bla.exe and
deleted it. So why only when I am running an on-line scan does McAfee
suddenly decide to identify it when I have run the virus checker several
times since I firest had the bla.exe alert from the firewall?

So strange!!!

It depends on how the scan is performed. The instructions I provided you caontains the
McAfee Command Line Scanner and set to be aggressive in its search.

It really is not that complicated.

Please do it anyway just to make sure you are indeed clean.

Please post back the results.
