I don’t know what triggers but since last Saturday, all exe files downloaded are reported as win32:malware-gen by Avast 6.0, the downloading itself turns quite wired, is slow at first, timeouts at some point.
I tried to scan w/ avast 6.0, in normal mode as well as safe mode. Nothing found.
I tried mbam, but it can’t find any virus/malware.
I also can’t download otl.exe but can download otl.com successfully. The OTL.txt is attached. There are some Chinese characters but doesn’t matter.
I even suspect something wrong w/ my wireless router, but I reinstalled the firmware and nothing improved.
It is difficult to say whether it is the same error. The symptom is quite similar: start downloading at first, then pause or very slow, it timeouts finally and identified as virus by Avast.
I only have one login in the box. will try setup a new one later.
The whole thing turns out very wired. I have three computers at home, two windows 7 and one windows xp, all three computers have similar problem. However, the windows xp box is also installed w/ ubuntu. When I switch to ubuntu, the download is quite smooth, above link or any other exe file. I guessed the virus infected all my windows boxes.
Next you must reset the router to its default configuration. This can be done by inserting something tiny like a paper clip end or pencil tip into a small hole labeled “reset” located on the back of the router. Press and hold down the small button inside until the lights on the front of the router blink off and then on again (usually about 10 seconds).
Run the programme you have just downloaded to your desktop (it will be randomly named )
First we will run a virus scan
On the first tab select all elements down to Computer and then select start scan
Once it has finished select report and post that.
Do not close AVPTool or it will self uninstall, if it does uninstall - then just rerun the setup file on your desktop
Now an analysis scan
Select the Manual Disinfection tab
Press the Gather System Information button
Once done Open the last report saved folder then then upload to Mediafire and post the sharing link.The zip file is located at C:\Users[i]your name[/i]\Desktop\Virus Removal Tool\setup_9.0.0.722_05.01.2011_20-34\LOG\avptool_sysinfo.zip
