1. Delete all your temp files. You don't need them, especially if they are virus files. The only temp files you can't delete are the ones that were crated today.2. Your program files that have been 'de-klezzed' are fine. Judging from the sheer number of files, Klez managed to hit a majority of the programs on your PC.3. Boot your PC into safe mode (Hold down F8 while booting up the PC and select safe mode. Run your virus scan. It should be able to delete/fix the remaining occurances. If you have trouble running in safe mode, Memphis Foundry has a good post on how to make it work. Its either in this thread or the other virus thread in the Shark Pool. Now I'm getting :wacko: ...Nice work everyone. I've now downloaded the latest IE 6.0 with SP1 and patch. Then I downloaded AVG and ran a scan. It found 150. that's right 150
infected files. It identified 4 viruses. they are:Trojan Horse BackDoor.apdoor (only 1 infected file)I-Worm/BadTransII (only 2 infected files)Win32/EIKern (19 infected files)I-Worm/klez.H (by far the most_Per the recommendation I moved the infected files to the vault. Now most of the infected files have a 'Healed OK' status...some still say 'virus vault'. The Trojan Horse and the Win32/EIKern are the only 2 that do not have the 'healed ok' status. Now what do I need to do?
1. Most of the I-Worm/klez.H infected file are in c\windows\temp\ various numbers and letters.EXE. For example c\windows\temp\BHY81B1.exe is infected, but AVG says it's healed ok. Now what do I do? I don't even know what that file is
There's probably over 100 of them like that. Do I need to go to all those files and delete them from my C: drive? Or should I just let them remain there knowing they're 'healed'.2. Some of the I-Worm/klez infected files are in my program files- such as c\program files\adaptec.... Adaptec is my CD creator software. After running the AVG scan and trying to heal everything, AVG is saying that the status is 'healed ok'. But, my desktop icon for Adaptec is looking different. I'm assuming I just need to may re-install the now clean program? It just seems strange the Adaptec program was infected, then healed, now needs to be re-installed, but my photo editing program (Presto! Image) was also infected, then healed, now it's running like normal. 3. The Win32/.EIKern and the Trojan Horse do not have the 'Healed OK' status. The files are in c\program files\various number and letters. Example c\program files\YHK7310.EXED is infected and now in the virus vault (not healed ok). I have no idea what those files are. Those files have the ' ->virus vault' status. Not sure what that means either. Does it mean AVG couldn't fix those files but moved them in a safe vault area? Should go to those files and delete them? I don't know what they're for or what they do, should I just get rid of them?I hate to be deleting 150 files if I don't need to, but I may have no other option. Maybe I just throw the computer out the window and start over. Any advice on what to do with these 150 files would be greatly appreciated.
