Yeah, this one is going popular I guess!
Neways, the fix is simple! The virus simply copies 3 files in ALL THE PARTITIONS and then when u reinstall windows, it simply auto executes from the files copied to different drives/partitions.

Fix : U need to get those files removed FROM ALL THE PARTITIONS.

Files : 'smss.exe', 'Funny UST scandal.avi.exe', 'autorun.inf' (in all the partitions) and then 'killer.exe', 'net.exe', 'net1.exe' AFAIK in c:\windows\system32

U can search for where the last 3 files exist.

Probably, u won't be able to delete those files as the explorer closes if u open task manager, run anti-infection-ware or try to access those files.

So, the best way is to get a knoppix cd, and delete these files manually and may be then do a reformat+reinstall as a last option!!

The process is the same! What I did was
1. Fired up knoppix 5.1 (Linux distro) and deleted the files I mentioned
2. Formatted the C: drive and installed a clean copy of windows on it.

This one is a nasty virus. But wth, I was about to reformat/reinstall anyways as the windows was working slow again these days. :)

mediator thanks for the info! I don't have the knoppix cd with me. Any other work around for it. Is it really necessary for me to format the C: I was thinking if i can do without reinstalling and formatting C: I found the virus in other drives also do you think I need to format other drives as well. I have lot of data in other drives. I hope I dont have to format the other drives. Where can I get the knoppix CD?

Nah, u don't necessarily need knoppix CD. But having one can be more useful than u can think of. It can save u when ur Hardisk has gone nuts and refusing to boot or windows not showing its face. U can do word/presentations quickly, backup data and much more. Its a complete OS on a CD.

But even if u have recent DIGIT cds, then also Ubuntu can back up the data and help u delete those files.

But neways, u don't have to format!! U asked what I did, so I told. U only have to delete the files I mentioned and thats upto u whicheva way its convenient 4 u to delete em.

In 2nd post there is a link which doesn't mention all the files I did, bt mentions some additional files. U can delete all these files which I mentioned+the link one.

I think u shud give a try to windows 98 startup floppy if u don't have knoppix and then delete those nasty files.

But I wud really suggest knoppix to anyone who does thorough maintenence of his PC. Just check it out, its around 700 Mb download ( ISO file )and u have to burn it on a CD and then boot from CDROM.

mediator I have the latest kubuntu CD with me. Do you think that can help me in anyway? I'm trying to download the Knoppix. What is the exact procedure that I should follow if I have the Knoppix CD with me or if I have the kubuntu cd?

Just use the live CD to boot into in nd u can clearly see those files in respective locations . U just delete those nd do a clean install of XP after formating the current one.
Me too once removed this funny thing using a LIVE windows disc nd a clean reinstall after a format of c.
It wont work if u dun format the current windows as the virs will get back from some system files[inside system 32 i think-nd the file name is different inside that].

What is Live CD?
basically,livecd's are GNU/Linux CD's/DVD's which can boot from CD and run the Linux OS from CD instead of hdd.
*en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LiveCD

even live usb's are there :p
*en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_USB

now so called win live-cd's are there.but they cant come near Linux livecd's when it comes to immunity as win viruses cant do anything in Linux
