    Hello,

    I got a virus through MSn which SEEMS to be a new variant of the W32.Kelvir virus. It has disenabled my regedit, TManager, Norton Antivirus, and access to MicroVirus' housecall in Normal Mode, while spreading itself on MSN. In safe mode these all work of course but for some reason, even when Im in Safe mode with Networking, my internet doesnt work so I can't use Housecall.

    I followed all the instructions I could find on MajorGeeks, downloaded all the anti-malware programs suggested, but the one you all seem to recommend as the best as a last resort thing, HJT, Ive downloaded twice but can't seem to successfully open. Maybe the virus has blocked that one too I don't know. I can't open it at all!

    Thank God for process explorer -- it has managed to prove that the latest updates from Symantec and the updated programs Ive been using still havent gotten rid of the core malwares such as SVChost.exe. Its clear these malwares are still hiding in my registry.

    Any ideas?

    I want you to follow ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal

    After doing ALL of the above if you still have a problem:


    [​IMG] Download HijackThis 1.99.1

    [​IMG] Unzip the hijackthis.exe file to a folder you create named C:\Program Files\HJT

    [​IMG] Do NOT run Hijack This from the Desktop, a temp folder, or a sub-folder of C:\Documents and Settings, or choose to run it directly from the ZIP file as your backups will not be safely stored.

    [​IMG]Before running HijackThis: You must close each of the following:your web browser, e-mail client, instant messenger, and programs like notepad, wordpad, MS Word etc. And any other unnecessary running programs.

    [​IMG]Run HijackThis and save your log file.

    [​IMG] Post your log as an ATTACHMENT to your next post. (Do NOT copy/paste the log into your post as it will be removed).

    I already followed the list as closely as possible and still had problems

    And like I mentioned before in my post, Hijack This does not work in my computer. Everytime I try to open it, it gets blocked. Despite downloading it twice it's simply not allowed to work. I think the virus is blocking it, the same way its blocking my Norton AV and other scan/security programs.
