I have tried to access my folder and get the following message:-

resycled/boot.com is not a valid win32 application

Hi

For some very strange reason the folders Volume System Information and RECYCLER have appeared on both my two external hard drives.

They look shaded so I guess they are hidden files.

Before I go to the extent of bothering you with my logs can someone tell me if its a virus or not, and I need to be worried?

Thanks

Hi

I have done all that you have suggested, removed AVG, uninstalled Java, turned off system restore.

My picture has now come back on the desktop but I am still unable to browse (shaded grey) or chose any other the existing wallpapers.

My picture has gone about 5 times the size and it won't let me tile/centre/stretch although it will allow me to chose them but when I apply it does nothing.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I would be grateful for any information on how to remove this virus.

Thanks again.

Can anyone please help, I turned my pc on today the picture came up that I have on my desktop normally then disappeared to be replaced by a white screen.

AVG said I had a virus called I-Worm/nuwar.u

I tried to get it to delete it but it said it couldn't be found.

It also said the file name was in system32 and called something like dfj8lk.exe (not the exact name), I did a search for that file name and it brought back the file in system32 and also it was attached to a lot of file in C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch

I deleted the Prefetch folder and the exe file, since doing this I don't have AVG saying I have a virus, but what I do have is that I am unable to change from the white background, the box is all greyed out.

Can anyone help??

Thanks
LadySpurs
