    Help guys and gals.

    I'm trying to salvage old files from an old pc of mine, so i transferred these needed files to my external HD. Before transferring these important files into another source i checked it for viruses using kaspersky. It detected this: Net-Worm.win32.kido. It seems to be replicating itself even though kaspersky deletes the original file. I tried looking for a way to remove it in the net. They said i could remove the infected file manually, but when i try to look for the files, that were infected, they weren't there. Please help me. I don't know what else to do.

    Thanks is advance.

    This is just another name for Conficker. Your PC is infected and needs to be cleaned or some of the files you are backing up are related to the Conficker infection. Try running the below tools:

    McAfee AVERT Stinger Conficker

    http://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2008-112203-2408-99

    If those do not help, you will have to work thru the below.


    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. If you cannot seem to login to an infected user account, try using a different user account (if you have one) in either normal or safe boot mode and running only SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes while logged into this other user account. Then reboot and see if you can log into the problem user account. If you can then run SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes, ComboFix and MGtools on the infected account as requested in the instructions.
    4. 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.
