I deleted the file in safe mode manually but after a while it warns again.

Thanks for your cooperation!

2

the unresolved BHOs are suspicious… have you tried a google search for their clsids?

3

Having two active AV scanners will not help- it will only cause conflicts and instability.

Have you tried a boot time scan with avast!? Right click the scanner screen, select ‘schedule a boot time scan’ and reboot when requested.

Try a scan with AVG in Safe Mode.

(There’s no guarantee that either AV will work properly with another present.)

Try a few online scans in Safe Mode with Networking.

F-Secure

BitDefender

Panda

Trend Micro Housecall

I already tried the safe mode scan of avast. It detects the virus, deletesit but after a while the virus comes back.

Two AV: Which is better to retain AVG or AVAST.?

Thanks guys.!!

5

do you have all the critical security updates (from windows update) installed? maybe some hole is there to let the virus reinfect your computer again…

6

Good day,

Only an update of IE. Mine is still an IE 6.0.

7

Try a few rootkit scans for hidden malware.

Panda Antirootkit

Blacklight

AVG Anti-Rootkit

Have you tried the online scans?

8

Ok guys. Ill try to scan online…Ill post the result as soon as I am done.

:slight_smile: Hi :

  So none of your 3 antiSPYWARE/antiTROJAN programs ( Windows
  Defender, AVG AntiSpyware, or SUPERAntiSpyware ) detected this ?

  Is there a reason you do NOT have a software firewall installed, since the
  Win XP SP2 One does NOT offer "Outbound" protection !?
10

Windows defender did not detect anything, however, Avg and Super detect only tracing cookies… I already scan my computer with AVG in safe mode but no virus detected.

I do not have a firewall, just the built in winwows firewall.

The rootkit detected also nothing. I am already fed with this virus.
