    Hello all!

    I have this rather annoying problem, please forgive if this is the wrong cathegory to post it under.

    So, what happened is this: my ol man downloaded a small video clip he got in a mail from a persone he knows, and it opened in Winamp and started looping indefinately. closing winamp doesnt help, it starts up again on its own. i deleted the video file from the hard drive, but winamp keeps opening up trying to play it. uninstalled winamp, and this thing tried to open windows media player.
    i tried scanning the computer with Kaspersky AV 2009, NOD32, they came up with nothing.
    also tried disabling the windows scripting host (i think its some kind of a script, sometimes i can break its routine with winamp so it would ask for a path to a CD or something like that).
    The problem doesnt occure when in SafeMode. and System restore didnt help either.

    Any ideas anyone??
    Thanks ahead :)

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    Please follow the instructions in the READ & RUN ME FIRST link given futher down and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.
    • If you have problems where no tools seem to run, please try following the steps given in the below and then continue on no matter what you find. You only need to try the TDSSserv steps if having problems getting scans in the Read & Run Me First.
    • If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going.
    • Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not.
    READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide
    • After completing the READ & RUN ME and attaching your logs, make sure that you tell us what problems still remain ( if any still do )!
    Helpful Notes:

    1. If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode, you can run the steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:
    2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools and the manual updates for SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes and Spybot ( links are given in the READ & RUN ME) onto another PC and then burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.
    3. To avoid additional delay in getting a response, it is strongly advised that after completing the READ & RUN ME you also read this sticky:
    Any additional post is a bump which will add more delay. Once you attach the logs, your thread will be in the work queue and as stated our system works the oldest threads FIRST.
