Hi,
just boot your PC to safe mode (F8-Boot) and then move it to chest with avast, or delete it..
if that doesn't help :
what WIN do you have ? Are all ServicePacks and Windowsupdates applied ?
test the file with OnlineScanners e.g. from Trend, RAV & KAV (see below) to get a more specific name
(you need to temporarily pause 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 (at) asw (dot) cz
Include the Zip-password and a link to this posting in the mailtext)
spybot, ad-aware and cwshredder might also help
see
www.lurkhere.com ->nicefiles and
www.lavasoft.de-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
if you still can't remove it, you could post a logfile of Hijackthis here
-Secure your system:
change passwords, secure shares, install patches/updates for WIN&IE;
disable ActiveX and Scripting in IE except for know secure sites - and better use a secure browser like Opera or Mozilla
- scan your whole system with updated avast and maybe a 2nd scanner ,e.g. TrendMicro/RAV to check whether your PC is clean
- If needed, reenable system restore on Win ME/XP
