Thanks, i can get rid the virus with Kaspersky.

There is another problem, but this is maybe a simple problem that i don’t understand. When i open the Drive, it asking about where the Thumbs.com is located. How i can solve this “autorun” problem?

Thanks for the help

What drive are you talking about opening ?

There is obviously some remnant, probably a registry key (or start-up entry) that refers to the thumbs.com, so do a registry search for thumbs.com and check the start-up entries to see if there is anything there.

5

On-line scanning or you’ve installed Kaspersky in your computer?

There shouldn’t be any thumbs.com file to autoexecute, for sure.
Something seems to be left behind. Do you know how to manage Windows Registry?
If not, maybe you can ask someone to help you to clean the Registry.

I get rid the virus by installing the Kaspersky, but now i also little mad about this anti-virus. Made my computer lag.

Yes, i can manage Windows Registry. And thanks for the help, now the opening can go normally.

You need to fully uninstall Kaspersky before using avast again…

Search for thumbs.com in the registry then…

Hi tkhnoman,

If this thumbs.com cannot be removed, try the program killbox from here to get rid of it: http://www.killbox.net/help.html, also clean up your temp files using ATF cleaner: http://www.atribune.org/ccount/click.php?id=1 Read instructions to use it here: http://www.atribune.org/content/view/19/2/

According to VirusTotal, the latest update of avast! still cannot detect this malware. :frowning:

I like avast!, but the thought that the company will drag its feet if I should need help cleaning a new virus off my PC is putting me off. Until Alwil improves its policy regarding this issue, I’ll be sticking with the competition.
