My mother in law recently bought a new computer but it runs with Windows XP. We set it up and installed firefox. Everything ran fine as a new computer should. But after about a month it started closing Microsoft Office randomly. We didn’t pay much attention to this. But then it started freezing, at first very rarely, but now it freezes after 5 to 30 minutes from startup. I downloaded Avast and scanned the computer and came up with these results.
C:\autorun.inf (This one is infected with the VBS)
C:\Documents and Settings\HelpAssistant\Configuration local\Temp\ascypp.dll (This one with the Win32)
with the last three digits being different and finishing off with .cmd .inf or .dll like so;
"…"A0000266.inf
"…"A0000652.dll
there are 163 infected files total. They seem to switch randomly between VBS:Malware-gen and Win32:Oliga[Trj]. I have them locked up in the chest but I’m not sure if I should delete them. I’m afraid I might damage something in the process. Can anyone offer advice as to what I should do? I’m not very computer savvy… Thanks.
Win32:Oliga is a harmful trojan that downloads spyware, adware and other malware onto the compromised computer. The trojan is usually spred via questionable pornographic related websites, via peer to peer programs and spam emails. As soon as Win32:Oliga is active it will install malicious files it will contact outlying servers and download further viruses. Win32:Oliga is a critical security risk that can modify system registry and dramatically slash computer speed.
