basically, i scanned my computer with xsoftspy as i do every now and then, it got a few viruses in the registry, which i was expecting becuase i had been getting a couple of pop-ups. so i whent into run, regedit and i got a command window up, not what i expected to get. you know, the black windows. anyway, itry and close it, and have to end the program. a bit confused, i go down the list and find a couple in my system 32 folder. so i go c, windows, and then system 32 has gone. its not there. disapeared. and to top it all off, alt ctrl del now isnt working either. any suggestions?

Hi jarl and Welcome to GeekstoGo!

I would imagine a scan with Ad Aware SE would have yielded a return for the Alcan Worm!

Download and unzip BFUzip from here
http://computercops..../Merijn/bfu.zip

Right Click the Zip folder and select "Extract All"

Locate and double click BFU.exe

Now locate and click the Greenish Blue globe with the chord plugged into it!

When the next small window pops up-> Copy&Paste this URL into it and click OK!
http://webpages.char.../p2pnetwork.bfu

Now click the execute button and let the script run!

Download WinPFind:
http://www.bleepingc...es/winpfind.php

Right Click the Zip Folder and Select "Extract All"

Don't use it yet!

Reboot into SAFE MODE(F5 or F8 when restarting)
Here is a link on how to boot into Safe Mode:
SafeMode

Once in Safe Mode-> From the WinPFind folder-> Doubleclick WinPFind.exe and Click "Start Scan"

It will scan the entire System, so please be patient!

One you see "Scan Complete"-> a log (WinPFind.txt) will be automatically generated in the WinPFind folder!

Run MSCONFIG and enable everything in the startup area. To get to MSCONFIG, click on Start -> Run -> Type in MSCONFIG -> click OK.

Under the "General" Tab
Make Sure Normal Startup is Checked!!

Select the tab labeled Startup and put a Check by every box there!! Once everything is enabled, run "Hijack This!" and post a new log to this thread!!

Restart Normal and have the PC Scanned here:

You will need to be using Internet Explorer for the Scan to work!

Save the Report it generates!

Post back with a fresh HijackThis log and the reports from WinPFind and Panda!
