virus issue

dreghert · Sep 22, 2005

I am having a rather difficult issue with some sort of virus on my laptop. I have followed the suggestions in the sticky post, but it doesn't seem to be able to get rid of the bugger. It seems to be a p2p based worm, and makes a ton of small zip files, eating up disk space. I am lost on what to do next. any help would be appreciated.

Oh, i dont know if it was due to this virus or not, but my task manager, regestry editor, and command prompt will not come up like they should either.

If you have run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal then continue with the below steps. Otherwise complete ALL the sticky thread steps first.

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

- 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).
