win32:trojan......... please help
« on: June 05, 2009, 09:51:02 PM »
Hi Guys...

Well basically i use avast as my screen saver and whilst it was on screen saver it detected a virus so i ran the "start avast anti virus"
and came to find that my pc is fully infected with all sorts. One in particular kept on re appearing as i moved it to chest which you can see from my attached items(c:\system volume information), eventually i clicked "repair all" and that seemed to work (was that a good idea??). But there were other viruses that were there and another that nothing could be done about (was asked to rename it and so on but i am not sure what to do).

If someone could explain to me why all of a sudden these viruses have attacked me and secondly what i should do about it?

Thank you all for your time...

tvDebug is a Zone alarm file.

To clean up System Restore, first create a clean System Restore point, then delete all older restore points.

The Hotmail thing might have been something from MSN?

The .CHK files I think are innocent.

- Create Clean Restore Point - Clear old Restore Points.

Now you are clear of infection create a clean System Restore point:
1. Click Start, All Programs, Accessories, System tools, System Restore.
2. In the pop-up that appears fill in the radio button to Create a Restore Point
3. Click NEXT
4. Enter a useful name that you will remember if you need to find this again (Clean Restore Point)
5. Click CREATE

You now have a clean restore point, you should clear the old ones:
1. Click Start, All Programs, Accessories, System tools, Disk Clean Up
2. Click OK on the C: drive
3. Click the More Options tab
4. In the System Restore section click the Clean Up button
