Virus!!! Help.

[Siddhartha_t69]

A friend of mine bought a pen drive and plugged into my computer,
opened up 'my computer' and 'explore'd the removable drive. There i found the files: 'Funny UST scandle.avi.exe', "xmss.exe' and 'autoruns.inf'. Suddenly the computer started acting abnormally, Folders closeing automatically and task manager not working.

I opened up 'Process explorer' and killed xmss.exe from there. Opened 'autoruns' and unchecked xmss.exe and restarted.
But after the restart, the real disaster happened. As soon as i log in(autologon) i am automatically logged out without getting any chance to do something.

I need to get my windows working again. What can i do here? Help!!!

Did you try booting in safe mode. If not try and run your antivirus software. Also try using vcleaner if you can log in safe mode.

I'll suggest you to download NOD32 or Kaspersky AntiVirus 7 and scan your computer. They are the best antivirus in the market.

www.eset.com for NOD32
www.kaspersky.com for KAV7

AVG

Kapsersky is lot Better than AVG.......

AVG

I would say that AVG is the worst AntiVirus in the world.
It has high false rates and doesn't detect simple viruses.

If Vaibhva, you use AVG, then I would say to ditch it and start using NOD32 or Kaspersky. You'll definitely come to know the difference.........

@dsuresh : Download 30-day trial of kaspersky internet security from kaspersky.com
and do a complete system scan

AVG in my school was a real hell. It didn't even detect common viruses like Newfolder.exe, Brontok. And as soon as you inserted your pen drive, it got infected.
If you really want to use a FREE antivirus, then go for Avast instead. But it is also not that good if you compare it with NOD32.

Guys

I think we should stay on topic and should not convert this thread into "Favorite Anti-virus" thread.
