hi,
after downloading an infected rar file the other day, a program called fykqqs.exe is running in the background. It uses a lot of memory and CPU (appx 30mb RAM) and really slows down the computer. I have used your home edition software + microsofts beta software but the scans (in boot mode) comes out clean.
If you have any ideas please let me know.
Erik
Can you send the file to virus@avast.com with a short note (similar to what you wrote here)?
Thanks.
After you send it to avast.
Use Task Manager to stop it, then find the file fykqqs.exe and delete/rename (and move it), then find the run command and remove that.
Download HijackThis.zip - This will show everything that is running on your system.
