Ctfmon

Okay, as much as I'm great with computers (I really am lol ), I think I messed up. I get my new computer, with (stupid-isn't-GNU/Linux-wonderful) Windows XP installed. Still, I need to keep it on. So, I install VG Free, my favorite antivirus. What happens? t detects a bunch of virii, in between them ctfmon.exe (which is a microsoft service, not a virus). It also detects libthinice.dll, a part of GTK+, as a virus.

Although I try and stop it, it still deleted ctfmon.

Now, when I go to my computer->C:, if I double click it I get the following error:
Windows can't access the device, ...... BLA BLA you may not have the appropriate permissions, BLA BLA (roughly summarized lol)

If I right click, the option in bold is "Open (0)", and it won't open unless I choose the one that just says "Open".

I would like to know how to fix this AND why AVG would signal ctfmon.exe and libthinice.dll (and autorun.inf ) as a virus.

I'll be happy to provide HJT logs, or anything else -- including virii names.

Thanks,

Alley

 

Well, i ran them all, combofix first, and combofix fixed the problem I had with opening drives and having to right click + all. I guess I don't need to post the logs, as iot's fixed. thanks chaslang

PS - I already had run that guide except i didn't use the programs
