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…
