Worm

[Evil Marge]

Dave I have scanned the system 50 times but nothing is found .I have no idea how AVG can tell me it's there but not find it when I run the AVG virus scan.Either it's there or it isn't .It just doesn't make sense

 

[dave holbon]

Yes but you must look in the registry. If you are not sure how to do this let me know as I'm not sure either. But there are people here who can help.

 

[Evil Marge]

Also looked in registry and everything is as it should be.It hasn't got out yet and is just sitting there waiting.I can feel it laughing at me

[mafiafromrussia]

nicely done. so it's all over.

 

[dave holbon]

Not yet

 

[Evil Marge]

It's not over till the fat lady sings and she ain't singing yet Just got another warning ,looks like I'm just gonna have to live with it

 

[dave holbon]

There is a small possibility (very small) that the virus has been engineered to copy itself to an area of your computer that can’t be scanned by any virus scanner (yet).
This includes areas of your hard drive like disk maintenance areas (IDE/SCSI drives) or areas of you BIOS reserved for OEM’s or unique XP info such as your machine location that XP can read and write to when you first install it.

If this is the case you are going to have trouble removing the worm. No virus removal programmes I know can do this. But I bet someone on this board knows how it’s done as I’ve seen solutions to this type of problem posted before, just can’t remember how it’s done though.

If you’ve got a recent Gigabyte MB just zero the BIOS and it will automatically re-load from the other BIOS (backup) even then you might not remove it without doing a low level format as supplied by your hard drive manufacturer.

Can’t think of anything else.
