Hi Guys
I have a sticky yet pricking problem here. Recently I have installed the latest version of Avast 4.5 Home Edition on my PC and upon installing and running, many viruses and Trojan Horses were found. Many of these I have deleted without even knowing and considering whether the files are critical to my PC or not. I hope that there will not be any impacts to my PC performance and application files. As you know when you first installed the Avast Antivirus program, you has not even got the time to do a Virus Recovery Database backup. Even if you have the time, you may be skeptical about the Virus Recovery Database Backup cos it might be infected too if you were to perform the operation at that time. That is why I deleted most of the files instead.
However, there is this infected file (Win32: Trojan-gen. {Other}), no matter how many times I have deleted it or move it to the chest, it will be detected again by Avast 4.5 Home Edition whenever I perform a subsequent reboot to my PC. This is really frustrating. I really wonder is there anybody out there who can help me out in this matter.
For your info, my PC runs on Windows XP Professional with SP2.
I am using a cable modem to hook up to the internet. This infected file is found in my this directory :- C:\WINDOWS\System32\delttsul.exe
No matter how many times I deleted it or move it to the chest, the file will simply restore or duplicate itself back to the respective folder and directory. I have even turn off my System Restore and performed numerous thorough Boot-time scan(inclusive of my archival files) but it just simply does not work. I tried to do it in "Safe Mode" too, however, the Avast 4.5 Home Edition does not work at all, be it Boot-time scan or manual selection scanning.
Is there anybody out there who can help me out on this?
Hope that there can be a solution to it. Thanks in Advance.
