nw i saw that the 2 files i mntnd above are present in root of every drive on my HDD and also in C:\WIndows\Debug folder, and in the task manager...

when i double click a drive, i get a ZoneAlarm warning that "??1" or ",.exe" is trying to access explorer.exe. if i click allow, thn it opens a new windw of Windows explorer. if i deny, then a pop up with this msg appears:::
Run-time error '5':

I have the same virus. Install Norton Antivirus 2006 and latest updates. Run the check and you will get some 30,000 virus files. Delete all...

To make sure, reboot with a Linux live CD and just delete the autorun.inf files as well as any other of the virus exe files...

@faraaz :::
according to the site, Norton / Symantec doesnt detect the virus..........


so, what do u ppl think i shud do now??
install Kaspersky?

 

[zyberboy]

yeah, uninstall ur current av and install kaspersky 30 day trial...update and run a full system scan.

 

[harmik]

ok.
cant 2 av's exist side by side?
meaning, will i have 2 uninstall my current av (NOD32)?
thnx

 

[spironox]

two av will clash while the system file acessing !

better have one

dont populate the Av's the world is already filled with people

thnx

dont install two av's...u can either uninstall nod32 & install kav6 or u can send the file to nod32 lab so that they can create a signature to detect this virus...if their lab is good they will give an update within 8 hrs....

 

[harmik]

i installed Kaspersky trial.
removed virus with it from all drives by just opening drives in windows explorer.
then formatted couple f the drives.
then in the morning ran a full system scan (took about 3+hours). it removed all viruses from system restore etc.

so system seems to be infection free now..

m gonna revert back to NOD32 now. Kaspesky takes up larger amount of CPU and memory as compared to NOD32 and also takes long time to scan........
so, back to NOD32...

thanks guys

scan with other av with updated definitions.
