Re: VIRUS ALERT on taskbar and no C: drive

To remove this type of infection I usually just run these main tools. Counterspy(trialware remove when finished), Spybot S&D(Freeware), Ad-aware se personal. And malwarebytes.
These in combination have usually resolved the problem... Sometimes there are rootkits and other nasty registry based infections that cannot be removed in a conventional manner and that is what the specialized tools are for.
Fake alerts like this are very annoying and sometimes I get disgusted by them and throw in the towel and perform a full OSRI
Best of luck to you.

Re: VIRUS ALERT on taskbar and no C: drive

this virus doesnt delete with normal program like hijack this or malebytes or anything you have to manually DELETE this file in your C: drive. I deleted it on 1 login on my laptop and its fine, the other one still is infected. its hard to get to the C: so i hope you have a folder or a shortcut on your desktop you can use to access your HD. trying to find exactly what i did then i could post it. but no you do not need a reformat good luck

Re: VIRUS ALERT on taskbar and no C: drive

This thread is 4 months old. Original poster never returned. We don't know WHAT for certain the infection was so offering solutions on an unknown infection really isn't that helpful.
It is recommend here that persons begin HERE and follow all instructions and then post all the requested logs including a HiJackThis log, with the scan done AFTER all other steps have been completed.
