Just an hour ago my VISTA was infected by Khatarnak.exe virus.
Here is what happened.
1. As usual Taskmanger was disabled. tuneup taskmanger showed a file named khatarnak.exe,pics.exe,secret.exe.
2. my all drives was now showing files like newfolder,windows,pics,secrets,pictures,song, etc and guess what all of them had FOLDER ICONS.
3. regedit was disable. while openin regedit it show a message "OPEN REGISTERY LATER U FOOL"
4. OPERA was closing ONLY wen i was searchin how to remove this virus showing a message "MUHAHAHAHAHA!"
i booted into XP and deleted all those files(thank god xp is still safe).
i really enjoyed those funny messages but now the following PROBLEMS PERSISTES
1. Folder option is missing
2. Whenever i start my vista only a explorer window opens and i hav to manually start the explorer.
3. no taskmanger.
plz tell me how to correct these all and how to make sure that the virus has been deleted.
F!_!CKING AVAST DIDNT DETECT A SINGLE THING.
now i AM GOING TO DITCH AVAST AND MOVE TO KASPERSKY or NOD32.
