670728 2008-05-20 02:44:00 Learning,
in similar circumstances I have
removed the malware simply by scanning
with Microsoft Malicious Software Extractor
when other tools have failed.
This prog is updated daily with MS Updates
and is available free from MS Downloads.
Worth a try... blanco.

670729 2008-05-20 09:54:00 Dont bother with safe mode . . . . . go normal .

Run ComboFix using these instructions:

Click the Windows 'Start' button > Select 'Run' - then copy/paste the following bolded text into the run box & click OK .


"%userprofile%\desktop\combofix . exe" /killall

When finished, it shall produce a log for you . Post that log in your next reply .

Note:
Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running . That may cause it to stall .


Dont forget the HJT log . . .

I have tried the Run option and it momentarily flashes and nothing happens .

Same with MS Malicious remover - it starts extracting file and then nothing happens .

Well it was a P4 1 . 8Ghz so i m just getting a new one now as i was gonna replce it anyway and i cant be bothered sitting hrs trying to reinstall OS on the infected

BTW whats the best Antivirus & ANti Spyware Software available .
I dont want my brand new PC to be fckd again


thanks for your help

And its free.

Only other thing you could do then, is remove this hdd, and put it in a working system. Then scan it

670731 2008-05-20 10:30:00 Partition the drive if you can, then install XP with your disk on the new partition. Then you can install Avast and scan the infected partition. If the term 'partition' makes you go all dizzy, don't bother, just follow speedy's advice

Oh and this is addressed to the peter pan guy, He LIKES Norton, I used Norton once too, way back in 2002. It got infected (the Norton folder in program files). Got Avast and never looked back. NAV just cripples a system totally, its like trying to run 5 games at once! (Well maybe not that bad, but you get what I mean.)
