Is this with the latest vps installed? (443-3)
If so what file is infected and what is its location?

Mario, these files specifically could be restored from Chest...
Can you try?
If you have Windows XP/2k, why don't you schedule a boot time scanning?

Looks like there is a winsock hijacker on that system.

Microsoft release specifically patches (hotfixes) for correcting corrupted winsock files. Just search Microsoft webpage for your specific OS and the word 'winsock'  ;)

Hi mario__,

please work through the link "VirusRemoval" below and then:
- tell us Where exactly the worm was found (full path/folder/filename)
- please post a hijackthis-Log here
- report the results of Onlinescanners KAV, RAV & Trend on it (avast shield needs to be paused while scanning online)

@1. mario:

the .DLL-files C:\WINDOWS\System32:
An educated guess:
avast didn't alert you to them, but you found them in the CHEST ?
-> There are several sections in the Chest; those 3 are probably in the SYSTEM-files section and are clean backup copies

The infected DLL file C:\WINDOWS\Temp\Adrave\cd-install-329.exe\cd-client.dll:
just delete it manually or with avast in SafeMode (F8-Boot)
