HELP needed with some viruses!

Viruses and worms
1

hello!
this is my first post… sorry if this has already been asked… and SORRY especially in case i’m asking “well known” things… i dont know much about computers and stuff… ???
a couple days ago my PC got crazy so i started avast! (4.7 home ed.) and it detected some viruses, which i put in the virus-thrashcan (as suggested by avast! itself!)… unfortunately, i’m still having problems. after a few hours when the PC is on…:

  • right click on the mouse is impossible to use
  • task manager (i have XP pro) is impossible to open, or it works badly (only a coiple functions are still visible)
  • “start” only opens a “short” window, which does not even have “turn off” and other functions…
    virus detected are:
    yahoo[1] file id: 246
    yahoo[1] file id: 247
    A0143817.exe file id: 245 win32:Spyware-gen.[Trj]
    adm.exe file id: 243 win32:Spyware-gen.[Trj]
    adm.exe file id: 240 win32:Spyware-gen.[Trj]
    dialer1.exe file id: 244 win32:Dialer-622 [Trj]
    P2P Networking v124.cpl file id: 242 win32:Lineage-197 [Trj]
    p2p networking.exe file id: 239 win32:Lineage-197 [Trj]

…thanks in advance for your help!!!

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 (To do this go to Internet explorer >Tools > Internet options > Delete files > Click delete all offline content (just to be sure) > click ok.)
  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 (www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/) or ewido (www.ewido.net) (trojan removers).

:slight_smile: Hi :

 Looks like you have some "suspect" P2P program on your
 machine !? It is fairly well known they will download
 spyware, so my 1st recommendation is to uninstall it .
 So you downloaded, installed & updated Ewido and ran
 its "Complete System Scan" without that changing your
 problem ? If yes, the next step would be to ask for help
 on the forums of your antiSPYWARE Provider, assuming
 you have a antispyware program; if not, I recommend
 the Ad-Aware oriented forums at www.landzdown.com .
