help needed with viruses - win32:jifas-CG [trj], and win32:malware-gen

Hi, I am having trouble with these (win32:jifas-CG [trj]) and (win32:malware-gen) viruses, I am a novice when it comes to viruses so need some help and advice. I have not had a virus in approx 12months, but have had 5 in the last 4 days:-

4 of the infections have been win32:jifas-CG [trj] and the other 1 was win32:malware-gen

the original locations for the win32:jifas-CG [trj] have been:-

C:\System volume information\_restore...

2x C:\documents and settings.…\local settings\temporary internet files
c:\windows\system32

and the original location for the win32:malware-gen was:-

C:\WINDOWS\System32\spool\drivers

I had been on the internet most of the night and then clicked into a website and almost immediatley I was knocked off the internet and all my user ID’s that had been saved to websites to save time, such as bank, ebay, email etc vanished, then over the next few days I have been plagued with viruses (compared to usual that is) each time I have followed the reccommened action which was to move it to the chest, however I have read that, that may not have been the best thing to do and I should have cleaned them. Also every time I start my computer up the my documents page is open.

I am just wondering if a) I have done the right thing b) how to stop these viruses and if they are actually gone from my computer, and c) what these viruses are designed for and how harmful they are.

any help is is really appreciated…

Hello,
Win32:Malware-gen was maybe false positive detection of the espon’s driver, which is fixed in VPS 091216-2 try updade VPS and rescan that file(s).
Win32:Jifas-CG [trj] doesn’t look like false positive:

You’ve done the correct thing in sending them to the chest. That’s almost always a good option (unless it’s a vital Windows file) and far preferable to deletion. “Repair” only works in a few cases for good files that have been infected by a virus, and a lot of the current infectors leave the files non-repairable.

Do as Milos suggests re: the Win32:Malware-gen.

What I’d do is clean all temporary files and temporary internet files. Try ATF cleaner, can be downloaded from MajorGeeks (and some other sites). It runs from the download location, no install required. Tick anything with “temp” or "temporary’', and the Java cache, and click “empty selected”.

Download MBAM, install it and update it, then run a quick scan. You will be presented with a scan report. Select everything found, then click “remove (or delete) selected”. (This quarantines them.) Please post the scan report as an attachment in your reply.

Don’t use system restore.
