Hi,

please enter
  trojan-gen
into the board-search above -> lots of advice there..

what WIN do you have ? XP ?

test the file with OnlineScanners e.g. from Trend, RAV & KAV (see below) to get a more specific name
(you need to temporarily disable AV-Resident Shield/Monitor/Guard to be able to scan the file online)

(If they all don't show it as infected, please send it in a password-protected zip-file to
virus@free-av.de/virus (at) asw (dot) cz
Include the password and a link to this posting in the mailtext)

-remove the Virus/Malware and it's system modifications according to VirusInfos
from Avast, VGREP, TrendMicro, Kaspersky;
you might also try searching for the virus name or filename with google

general removal procedure:
- disable system restore on Win ME/XP
- kill respective Backdoor/Trojan process with task manager
- search for the file/process names in the registry; remove the malware's startup entries in the registry
- disinfect or (if disinfection is not possible) delete the file; this may be possible only after a reboot
 

-Secure your system:
   change passwords, secure shares, install patches/updates for WIN&IE;
   disable ActiveX and Scripting in IE except for know secure sites - or better use a secure browser
- scan your whole system with updated avast and maybe a 2nd scanner ,e.g. TrendMicro to check whether your PC is clean ;)
- reenable system restore on Win ME/XP


if it's of the trojan-gen kind: spybot, ad-aware and cwshredder might also help
if you still can't remove it, you could post a logfile of Hijackthis here

see www.lurkhere.com ->nicefiles and www.lavasoft.de

disabling RESTORE doesn't suffice here when you have an active trojan in the System32-folder

try the other hints above,
first: booting in safeMode (F8-Boot) and scanning&deleting the files with avast, or deleting them manually ;)

c:\windows\system32\wininv.dll

Hi,

a) what about the other advice/scanners ?

b) a google search for the filenames hints that you are infected by prorat-Backdoor:
-> search for PRORAT here in the board, or on VirusInfo-pages, or better:
redo your system from scratch, as it's compromised/not secure any more

--> backup data & needed settings, format C: and reinstall WIN

secure WIN better next time..
more info found everywhere in the board, or on microsoft
