Title: Virus Help!


Andre - August 22, 2006 07:27 PM (GMT)
I have a virus on my PC, and its called "Downloader". I scanned the system with Nortan Antivirus and it cant delete it or anything. But it gives me the file name and the path for it, its C;/windows/system32/wvuust.dll. But when I look for that file, it is no where to be found!
I have no Idea what to do. So if anyone knows how I can delete this virus, then please help.

I was also wondering how I can view hidden files, just in case it helps me with reaching this file and deleting it, or repairing it.

Open up any folder. > Tools > Folder Options > View > Files and Folders > Hidden files and folders > Show hidden files and folders.

Try AVG Anti-Virus in the mean time. Cheaper, less of a system hog and overall better than NAV.

Cheaper in that its free ;). Try using Spybot Search and Destroy, and also Adaware too.

Yeah, not much else I can suggest. Just try what Mini and Pump said and let us know the status then.

That's what I was leading toward, yes. :P Ditto though, Ad-Aware in conjunction with Spybot:SD. It's best to use both because they both catch different things.
