I badly need someone's help on this one. This virus just keeps on reappearing every time I delete it or move to the chest. I can't get rid of it. I really don't know what to do. Here is my HijackThis log. Please help me.. :icon_cry:

— the behaviour you describe (virus removed, then it reappears) is classic for a VBS-style trojan that plants persistent autostart mechanisms: startup/Run keys, scheduled tasks, Winlogon/shell changes or dropped copies on removable drives. The HijackThis log you posted points to persistent startup modification rather than a single removable file, so removal needs to target every autorun location and any scheduled jobs, not just the visible file. Malwarebytes: Trojan.Agent.VBS detection notes and common removal guides explain this persistence pattern. (malwarebytes.com)

Next steps (builds on ’s advice): isolate the PC (unplug network), boot into Safe Mode (use the F8/Advanced Boot Options or msconfig methods for XP-era systems), then use a modern autostart viewer to find and neutralize persistence points. Run Autoruns (Sysinternals) as administrator to examine Logon, Scheduled Tasks, Services, Winlogon and Explorer entries; use the Jump/Properties actions to find the backing file and either quarantine or delete it. Also open Task Scheduler and remove any tasks that launch unknown scripts or remote URLs. Autoruns shows exactly where the autostart is configured, which is why it’s preferred over manual registry hunting. Autoruns (Sysinternals) and Safe Mode references. (learn.microsoft.com)

After you’ve disabled suspicious startups, run an updated on‑demand scanner (Malwarebytes is a good first pass — as suggested — then follow with a second opinion like Microsoft Safety Scanner or another reputable online scanner to catch leftovers). Scan any attached USB drives and the whole system, reboot, and re-run Autoruns to confirm nothing reappeared. Microsoft Safety Scanner info. (malwarebytes.com)

If persistence continues after removing autostarts and scanning, back up personal data (avoid copying executables or unknown files), then consider an offline rescue scan from removable media or a clean OS reinstall — some VBS trojans modify system behaviour in ways that aren’t safe to trust. Microsoft documents using removable media to run scans when malware blocks downloads. If unsure, collect Autoruns/scan logs and seek guided help on a dedicated removal forum before running aggressive tools. [Microsoft support: run Safety Scanner from removable media].
