    NOD32 (on demand) manual scanner reported that a file was infected. This was the error message:

    PROGRAM FILES C DRIVE\MyWay\myBar\1.bin\MY2NS.EXE is infected with application Win32/Adware.MyWaySpeed
    The file can be deleted. It is strongly recommended that you back up any crucial data before you proceed.

    Should I delete it? And what exactly is that anyway?

    Please do not make duplicate posts for the same problem. Stay in one thread.

    You should first look in Add/Remove programs for anything related to MyWay and uninstall it if found. For example: MyWay, MyWayBar, MyWaySpeed , etc

    Let us know if that helps. If not, please follow the steps below:

    - Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal

    Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.

    - Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.


    After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps below:

    - Download HijackThis 1.99.1

    - Unzip the hijackthis.exe file to a folder you create named C:\Program Files\HJT

    - 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 downloaded ZIP file.

    - 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.

    - Run HijackThis and save your log file.

    - Post your log as an ATTACHMENT to your next message. (Do NOT copy/paste the log into your post).
