Which programmes are not working ?

Make sure that DSS.exe is located on your Desktop.
Click on your START button, then choose Run. A little box will appear.
Now copy and paste all the following in bold (including the "" marks) into the run box and click OK.

"%userprofile%\desktop\dss.exe" /daft



This will start DSS in a different way. A small window will appear.
Click on the Scan button.
If it finds faulty file associations, they will appear in red beside a checkbox. If this occurs, just place a tick in the boxes in question.
Click the Fix button.
Re-scan and save a logfile. By default, it will save as daft.txt.

It looks like removing the final worm files revealed a lot more damage than appeared initially

Do you have your windows cd as we will look at repairing the main files

From the Start menu, select Run.
In the Open field, type sfc /scannow (Note: There is a space between sfc and /scannow)
Select the OK button.
Follow the prompts throughout the System File Checker process.
Reboot the computer when System File Checker completes.

You should have a restore point as DSS created one along with combofix.

What is the situation of your system at the moment

Reboot your system and as soon as it restarts press F8 until the safe mode comes up
Select recovery consol


At the C:\ prompt type

CD WINDOWS

At the C:\Windows prompt, type the following bolded text, and press Enter:

cd ERDNT\Hiv-backup

At the next prompt, type the following bolded text, and press Enter:

The erunt backups will begin copying.
