Ive noticed recently that my CPU is very high and that when I boot XP I see an IE window that connects to some site and then its poof gone, I try to scan, and the PC freezes mostly when the scan is almost/near completion (maybe to keep the virus going..)

Why is it connecting to a site?

Help plx

Edit : AVG finds these viruses and then I stopped it, and rebooted but now they are still there..

Here is a picture of the viruses (Hidden Files = Rootkits)

They do, you just have to be trying.

Format C:\

Or, you can try installing NOD32 and turn on Advanced Heuristics, then do a full scan. You should be clean then.

But I would reformat :p

Ok then. You need to:

1) Uninstall IE.
2) Install Firefox
3) Install ESET/NOD32
4) Run *all* exe files using Sandboxie
5) Stop doing illegal stuff ;)

You can't uninstall Ie. just make all shortcuts go to firefox.

You can, actually. All you need to do is force the delete, or replace it with a blank exe file.

VB loads the IE brower to display webpages in the program, those will all fail.

oohh

I see.. thought you meant something else =X

and yeah.. you don't have to delete it.. just don't use it :p

Your something worse then a virus - your a cancer, so dont talk about me or to me.

I download viruses myself to experiment with them, but I guess sometimes it backfires :/

Wait, wait, wait. You're downloading them to experiment with them, but you're not using a sandboxed environment?!

Wow, l2sandbox.. :p

Enough with the trolling guys..

Just help him and be done with it.

Retarded comments can go to -> BBQ pit or w.e

well if you download hacking things you are bout to find virus, if not then ho would you put the virus to the other person computer??

srsly if yyou dont know what yuou are messing with dont

I am pretty sure I have gotten this virus from one of those USB-Hosts or w/e their called, someone prolly plugged their mp3 or usb in and an autorun file set in motion, I forgot to disable autorun for this pc when I formated it.

I also never use any hack/crack tools that are infected, I set AVG to scan 1 folder 24/7 and thus the files are downloaded directly in to that folder, and before they are downloaded they are checked by AVG's scanner, Ive set it myself to work with Flock.

Dude, if you're going to be downloading viruses for experimentation, install vmware or virtualbox or something, install XP on it and put the viruses on there. As for removing your viruses that you already have, try the ClamAV LiveCD. Clam kinda sucks for the most part but since windows isn't actually running when you use it, the virus can't lock down any files or registry entries and you can completely remove the viruses. Good luck

GG if you've managed to get some 1337 new trojan. Any clue when/how/from what file you got it from? You could google the .exe's name, helped me to find out once that I had gotten some new awesomo trojan on a fresh xp install, and the oldest reports about it were from like 2 days ago so I just automatically re-installed xp as 99% likely no AV could've done anything about it -.- Lost like 20 minutes of my life.

I'd suggest reformatting (because I'm lazy and I hate dealing with stuff like that) and installing linux so you won't have to reformat 70 times a month..
