avast can't get off a virus

i have just finished of formating my computer, and avast just can’t take the virus out. every time i reboot my system, avast show me a warning of virus, and after i “try” to remove the virus, windows send me a error message.

forgive me my poor english, i don’t speak english very well. if someone does not understood something i have said, please, tell me :wink:

the frases on the first pic is: “A malware have been found. However, there’s no reason for panic. Try to follows the advices and procedure.”

in the 2nd pic is: “the system could not find the specified file”

Hello :wink:
The error seems to be due to an AutoIt false positive BUT, are you sure you’ve created this executables?
I mean, the WinSecure.exe and the Firewall.exe ?
Why did you put these files into the Windows\System32 folder? :o

But, if you’re not the owner (programmer) of these two files, well, they seem to be infected.
If a virus is replicant (coming and coming again), you should:

  1. Disable System Restore on Windows XP: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];310405
  2. Clean your temporary files.
  3. Schedule a boot time scanning with avast. Start avast! > Right click the skin > Schedule a boot-time scanning. Select for scanning archives. Boot.
  4. Use a-squared or ewido (trojan removers).

You could also check the offending/suspect file/s at: Jotti - Multi engine on-line virus scanner if any other scanners here detect them it is less likely to be a false positive. You can’t do this with the file in the chest, you will need to move it out.
Or VirusTotal - Multi engine on-line virus scanner

Author, I can tell you . these two exceptional executable file are virus,and they should not have appeared in your computer.
you can kill them by yourself while avast! does not work~
you can delete them.But if they are hidden.you can set Windows to show all files.
then kill these two files(sometimes you can do it in Save-Mode because the virus will tell you you can not kill them ),and then ,clean registry,clean everything that has somthing to do with these two files in registry~
And then Reboot .I think that will work.
But it is just my personal opinion.please backup your registry and the files you think is importan for you~~
If some bad things happened,please do not trouble me ~
Thank you

You might try renaming them if you are wary of deleting them, example.exe to exampleOLD.exe that would hopefully stop them being linked to any registry key, etc. However avast may alert when you access the file/s to rename them.
