Hi,

is your avast uptodate ?

  1. Please mail any files not detected by uptodate avast to:

virus at asw dot cz

best put them in a passwort-protected zip-file; including the password and a system/problem description in the mailtext…

  1. loads of malware there: if you have important/sensitive data on your PC, or use it for online-banking, ebay or other privacy critical stuff:

backup your data, format, and reinstall Windows XP, securing it better this time…

otherwise:

maybe test the file with OnlineScanners e.g. from KAV (see below) to get some more specific names
(you need to temporarily disable AV-Resident Shields/Monitors to be able to scan the file online)

-remove the Virus/Malware and it’s system modifications according to VirusInfos from Avast, VGREP, TrendMicro, Kaspersky; you might also try searching for the virus name or filename with google

general removal procedure:

  • disable system restore on Win ME/XP
  • kill respective Backdoor/Trojan process with task manager
  • search for the file/process names in the registry; remove the malware’s startup entries in the registry
  • disinfect or (if disinfection is not possible) delete the file; this may be possible only after a reboot

-Secure your system (change passwords, secure shares, install patches/updates for WIN, IE etc…)
-scan your whole system with updated avast and maybe a 2nd scanner ,e.g. RAV to check whether your PC is clean :wink:

-reenable system restore on Win ME/XP :wink:
