I’m not sure, but can’t you go to another computer?

If a virus is replicant (coming and coming again), you could follow the general cleaning procedure:

  1. Disable System Restore on Windows ME or Windows XP. System Restore cannot be disabled on Windows 9x and it’s not available in Windows 2k. After boot you can enable System Restore again after step 3.

  2. Clean your temporary files. You can use CleanUp or the Windows Advanced Care features for that.

  3. Schedule a boot time scanning with avast. Start avast! > Right click the skin > Schedule a boot-time scanning. Select for scanning archives. Boot. Other option is scanning in SafeMode (repeatedly press F8 while booting).

  4. It will be good if you download, install, update and run AVG Antispyware. Some users recommend SUPERantispyware, Spyware Terminator and/or a-squared (take care about false positives).
    If any infection is detected, better and safer is send the file to Quarantine than to simple delete than.

  5. If you still detecting any strange behavior or even you’re sure you’re not clean, maybe it will be good to test your machine with anti-rootkit applications. I suggest AVG or Panda.

  6. Also, if you still detecting strange behaviors or you want to be sure you’re clean, maybe making a HijackThis log to post here and, specially, scan and submit to on-line analysis the RunScanner log would help to identify the problem and the solution.

  7. After you’re clean, use the immunization of SpywareBlaster or, which is better, the Windows Advanced Care features of spyware/adware cleaning and removal.

  8. Finally, when you’re clean, check for insecure applications with Secunia Software Inspector to update insecure applications and avoid reinfection.

Hope the explanations are clear and simple 8)

@Tech

Tech, awhile back wasn’t there some thing about dark angel and windows live contacts? ???

I tied to find it, but couldn’t. Seems alanrf did a few posts on it.

13

Well, I’m far from being an expert on cleaning infections…
Hope that someone else could help better and more specifically.

14

The memory is like a rabbit tail, short and fuzzy. I think it was a fp, but can’t be sure.

15

Thank you very much for your help I0m clean now :):):):):):):):slight_smile:

16

What exactly did you do? Was it some of the programs Tech suggested?

17

that was way to hard so I just used diff anti :-[

18

Installed another one or used an online scan?

19

Online Scan,then when ti says the virus was gone,tried with Avast and ther ewas no virus anymore

If it helps you… full computer on-line scanning:
Kaspersky (very good detection rates)
ESET NOD32
Trendmicro housecall
AVGas (does not necessary if you have AVG antispyware installed)
F-Secure
BitDefender (free removal of the malware)
HitmanPro (multiply scanners)
