virus blitz :(

[stargazer777]

Well, I'm just about ready to throw in the towel.

I've been battling a bunch of hijacker demons for a couple of weeks, and still not done with them. (See thread at http://discussions.virtualdr.com/sho...0&pagenumber=1 ).

Now I have no less than eight (8) virus items lurking on my hard disk. I have no idea how I picked them up – while I’ve been working on the hijacker problems, I’ve done regular virus scans, AND I’ve been avoiding using MSIE browser to surf.

I’ve been using Pocket Killbox to exterminate both files related to hijacking problems, and also suspected virus files. Interestingly, they keep popping up again, apparently re-installing from other files, scripts etc.

Also, mysterious things have begun happening with MSIE, such as previously-visited sites (such as Virtual Dr., Trend Micro, etc.) disappearing from the History list that drops down when you hit the arrow on the address bar, and my MSIE browser window suddenly closing for no reason.

It’s very late and I’m out of time, but I will attach files showing (a) some nasty suspect files in a C:\Documents and Settings sub-folder, and (b) a screen shot showing the list of viruses found, using Trend Micro’s online virus scanning.

Thanks in advance for your help. Gift certificates for visits to my psychologist’s office will be gratefully accepted.

wearily,
