Re: Anyone else have these viruses

Hi Again
I haven't connected any pen or external drives and got a
friend to disable autorun. This virus does sit anywhere on it's own, it
infects exe files, which when cleaned, do not work anymore.

I have formatted the hard drives and external drives, then reload Xp and
do
all the updates etc. then a few days later it starts affecting things and
Trend picks it up and tells me to do a scan which it finds it in a lot of
exe files and removes/repairs them, but it cannot stop it. Any ideas or
solutions.

It can be W32.Virut plus some trojans it downloads

Please scan some infected files on jotti,
http://virusscan.jotti.org

and if it is indeed Virut, then
after loading clean winXP image (or format and clean installation)
do _not_ run or install any old program you saved on CD-R or pen
drives
or any removable drive.

If you run it only once and it will not be blocked by anty-virus,
you got reinfection.

Also, configure your winXP so as it will not open and run pen-drive
or removable hard drive you connect to it.
Prepare yourself autorun.inf with some clean program, maybe calc.exe
and test it. It should _not_ run.
You can still use you drives by right click
on drive icon and choose "explore".

Reagrds,
kamil
