hi guys, please help me with this: the following virus was found by a third party software on one of the computers i am using: ieso0.dll, scvshosts.exe, system.exe, global.exe, svchost.exe, default.exe, blastclnnn.exe, drwtsn32.exe, dwwin.exe, keyboard.exe, userinit.exe, iecepcpusc.bat… the free avast anti-virus installed was shut-down, the firewall(Comodo) was shut down, folder options cannot be opened, the computer will not boot in safe mode, 116 svchost.exe programs, about 8 drwtsn32.exe programs, and 4 dwwin.exe programs are simultaneously running making the computer very very slow…an error notice made by svchost.exe and an application error notice made by dwwin.exe also keep on appearing…a screensaver with the words “this computer is being attacked” keeps on running… i tried to install a new anti-virus but the computer just re-starts…is there a way to clean this computer or i need to reformat and reinstall os(currently win xp sp2)…btw these viruses came from an MP4 player an outsider plugged into the computer…
...is there a way to clean this computer or i need to reformat and reinstall os...
Sounds like a reformat and reinstall would be the best way to guarantee stability and security.
