FakeMSN8beta problem

[Whinger]

Hi, this is my 1st post so please bear with me if I ramble or don't give all the relevent information.
Today AVG Anti-virus picked up a virus called 'hosts' in C:/windows/system32/drivers/etc which it did not 'heal.' I am guessing now that this was a file called 'hosts.msn'
I have deleted this file although, it is still in the recycle bin.

Later I ran Spybot search and destroy and it has picked up 'fakemsn8beta' which it has quarentined , but I am guessing has not fixed properly because I cannot get onto any proper antivirus sites.

I have been looking for help around the web and it seems that I will need to post some form of Hijack this log. I have downloaded Hijack this to create a log for this post but it will not run. It flashes on the screen but shuts down before I can do anything.

Can anyone give me any information as to what else this virus does, or better still a cure that does not force me to format my drive.

Thank you

Go to control panel if in classic veiw click System, if in category veiw click performance and maintenance then system.click Restore Tab turn off restore.

Download the trial version of Ewido Security Suite http://www.ewido.net/en/download/ (W2K/XP Only)

· On the left side of the main screen click update
· Click on Start and let it update.
· DO NOT run a scan yet. You will do that later in safe mode.

Restart your computer into safe mode now. Perform the following steps in safe mode:
(Start tapping F8 at the first black screen after power up)

Run Ewido:
· Click on scanner

· During the scan it will prompt you to clean files, click OK
· When the scan is finished, This will take some time to run!Boot to normal mode

Run HJT and then post your log.

Thanks TT4Titan.
I have been investigating this problem all weekend whilst waiting for a reply from here and ComputerActive. In the last hour and before I read your post, I managed to download MSNVIRREM (I think thats what it was called.) ans I have managed to run it whilst in safe mode. The report was that this is now cured.
I can now run Hijackthis and I can visit anti-virus sites.
I have attached a HJT log to this post, so can anyone analyse it let me know if there is anything else wrong.
Thank you very much.
Whinger.

Sorry if this is a daft question, But how do I clean them? Is it just a case of searching for the file and deleting it?
Thanks.

i think if you run HJT and check the boxes next to the ones TT said, then click fix it should work. but make sure they're the only ones checked.
