ARGGHH. Somebody please help me. This virus is really weird as it seems to only be triggered when i try to play music in windows media player. If i dont play any music, my computer runs fine (so it seems), althoguh perhaps rather sluggish. I ran ewido and it hads identifided it as a Trojan Pake, yet when ewido or i try to delete this virus, it replicates!! It's so annoying. I also researched this, and downloaded smitfraudfix, then accessed safe mode and let it run some clean up programs, but still in vain. Also trend micro detected this program as a spyware... The file infected is ole2.dll, which i have heard is an msoffice file. Is it possible for me to get rid of this virus without affecting my system? Please help. P.S Here is the exact path : [992] C:\ WINDOWS\system32\ole2.dll
Start the system in safe mode, install Avast or AVG, they are free and good at what they do, I've never heard of ewido.
Ok just downloaded AVG of the website. I virus scanned it and quarantined the file. I still have the problem....when i play music in windows media player my CPU usage rockets sky high. It's mainly the image name called system (have no idea what this is) that shoots up to usually 98-100%!!! What do i do now! EDIT: I scanned my whole computer using AVG again, and again the same file appeared as being infected!!
Hmm, can't you boot up in safe mode. And search for this file manually? Or you could buy some proper Anti Virus (Or torrent like a lot of people do) and that might sort it out, if that doesn't work, then ye know what you have to do.. The dreaded format.
I have personally ditched AVG and gone for Avast. works wonders. it deleted 6 torjan horses that i had. AVG just reminded me that i had them. i dont know if i still have the ntoskrnl.exe error or not..... avast scanned my whole system and it should now be clean
