Hello there

I really hope one of you kind people can help me with my problem.

McAfee has found the 'New Win32' virus on my laptop. I have run the virus scan and quarantined the files. There were almost 800 infected files and most were able to be cleaned or quarantined, but there were still about 6 that I could do nothing with.

I have run the HijackThis log, but I am not in the least tech minded and would appreciate any help you can give in removing this from my system.

Also, I had a pop up of the Command Prompt box with a file c:\d.exe and have no idea what this is, although it did seem to be stopping me loading web pages and this resumed fine when I closed the cammand prompt box down.

I really hope that this makes sense to someone!! Hope I have explained my problem ok.


Thanking you in advance for your help.

P.S. My laptop is now not logging on at all, just telling me I have a virus and need to run a scan and then logging me off again. HELP!!!!!!!

HijackThis log reads as follows:

Just a quick question...how long after it requests a scan does it log off? Also try http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner let is scan your computer. In addition to viruses, your computer may be infected with spywares, Trojans, worms, adwares, viruses and other malwares. Also, I do recommend that you clean/restore your registry files…if these are corrupted, your PC will slow down and have startup problems.

Hi

Thanks for responding to my plea!!

Ok, well it doesn't automaticly log me off but my laptop did power off at some point and now I cannot log on to it again with any of the three users set up on it. I cannot even log on in safe mode.

Does this mean that there is nothing I can do to fix it? I would have assumed that I should still be able to get on to my desktop via safe mode.

I am pretty certain that there is spyware on my laptop too,

I managed to run this scan and save the info to my other pc last night before the laptop shut down:

I know nothing about computers, but it looks pretty bad to me. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your reply. I'm afraid I don't really think I'm technicly minded enough to try removing the hard drive - I really have no clue about these things :confused:

are you familiar with booting up the computer through the comand prompt at start-up?

are you familiar with booting up the computer through the comand prompt at start-up?

It's been a while. Do you mean when you press F2 for setup options? Do I need the boot hard drive option?

Thanks for your reply. I'm afraid I don't really think I'm technicly minded enough to try removing the hard drive - I really have no clue about these things :confused:

Pity. Because the step by step stuff they'll tell you to do here is very heavy indeed. If it's a Dell laptop, the instruction book tells you how to remove a drive. Putting it into an external USB enclosure that must buy is covered in that product's instructions.

You'd need a second computer obviously for the external drive to be connected - dunno if that's a problem for you.

Perhaps get a friend in who is more confident to help you out.

BVut, of course, don't go too far outside your confidence zone - although I'm suggesting you ratchet it up a bit.

Good luck.

Sorry, I am not a great help, I just have the same problem with my pc. I can not log on anymore :(
I also have the new win32 virus and tried to do some damage control until it froze and I rebooted it and now I can't log on anymore. I am also very frustrated.
If I find a solution I will let you know...
