Adware Deletion Problem

[bballaSR19]

Two things, first is i was wondering what the best program for deleting and stopping adware is. Second is i did a scan on my computer and it found an adware file. i tried to delete it with the program and it didnt work, then i tried to find the file directly and delete it but it didnt work. the file is C:\WINDOWS\system32/awvts.dll and i right clicked on the file and said to delete it but it said it was in use by another program or person when its wasnt. if anyone ones how to remove this from my computer that would be very appreciated. also i installed adaware from lavasoft, but after about ten seconds of scanning with adaware my computer restarts. is this the program or a problem on my computer causing it to do this.

Thank You

You need to post your HJT log. We will take a look at it.

[D3m3nt3d]

The file you are referring to is Vundo - also known as Virtumonde.

Spysweeper can remove some variants of it....You will have the original file awvts.dll as well as the filename reversed stvwa with several extensions (.ini, .bak, .bak1 etc).

There are tools specifically for this infection, but I would rather you first post a HijackThis log as requested, so we can verify it is the only issue. :)

[D3m3nt3d]

Yes it is, notice that it has an 02 BHO with the same name
