Seen it before... Download DrWeb Cureit Bootable CD, boot to disk... After it runs, run full scan, and removes some files, Download, update and run Malwarebytes Then run combofix. Sounds like overkill, but each of these tools has a specific way of dealing withViruses: Drweb is perhaps the best tool to remove *unknowns* Malwarebytes goes to the rootkit level Combofix enumerates the registry, and finds those *persistent* virus entries Hope this helps.... pehaps it would be more helpful if you posted your combofix logs for analysis. /.Sam On Fri, Jan 21, 2011 at 1:27 PM, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo@gmail.com>wrote:

I have a virus/malware in my comp which I fetched from a cyber using FlashDisk. The virus has created a password such that I can't access my comp's files the normal way. I have to go to safe mode, log in as the administrator, then ctlr panel->User Accounts-Office(this is the user name) and I remove the password then restart the machine to start normally. Removing the password makes the system run normally. I use Win XP Professional (SP3)0 and run both MSE and Avast and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware but none get to clean the virus/malware. Any help would be appreciated. On 26/01/2011, wallace ngene <wallacengene@gmail.com> wrote:
