Thank you for the help!

Where does AVG say Downloader.Small.9.BV is located?

explorer.exe C\explorer_cab.vir:\explorer.exe
explorer_cab.vir C:\explorer_cab.vir

Can somebody help me? :rolleyes:

Download Stinger from here:
http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/

Save it to your desktop

Double-click on the stinger.exe file

Under 'Directories to scan' enter all hard drives/partitions in your system

Clink on Scan Now

Stinger will fix anything that it finds

When it's finished, click the File menu and select Save report to file

Post the log file results here in this thread

McAfee AVERT Stinger Version 2.4.7 built on Jan 3 2005

Copyright (C) 2004 Networks Associates Technology, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Virus data file v1000 created on Dec 14 2004.

Ready to scan for 47 viruses, trojans and variants.



Scan initiated on Sat Jan 29 01:32:08 2005

Number of clean files: 228382

I didn't expect Stinger to find it, but I was hoping.

Downloader.Small is a fairly common trojan (with different numbers and letters at the end), but they are usually in a different folder than the one you described. I've never seen C\explorer_cab (it should be C\explorer.cab), and can't find any info on it.

I'm thinking this whole folder, explorer_cab.vir:, should be deleted; but let's have someone else confirm this before you do it.

Crunchie had a good idea (as usual); set a System Restore point, and then delete the bad entries, explorer_cab (make sure you delete only the ones with the underscore " _ ").
