Some Virus/Trojan Problem...Wierd..!!!

Hello,

I am experiencing something wierd with my PC these days.

All the Folders of all my drives contain 3 icons

1) Winzip_temp.exe
2) Folder.htt
3) desktop.ini

Well i havent even installed Winzip ever still whats this happening. Even Winzip stays in PC's active memory all the time.

I guess its some kind of Trojan or Virus but even Quick heal and Mcafee are unable to detect it. So in these circumstances what to do..??

Its hoggin my memory a lot..Any advices ..suggestion..??

Regards,
Dipen

folder.htt and desktop.ini are Windows system files so u don't need to worry about those.What u DO need to worry about is Winzip_temp.exe.That file is due to the W32/MyWife.e@MM worm.Update ur virus definitions immidiately and remove it cuz it's got a pretty lethal payload.
On the 3rd day of any month, approximately 30 minutes after an infected system is started, the worm overwrites files on local drives with the following extensions with the text "DATA Error [47 0F 94 93 F4 K5]":
DOC
XLS
MDB
MDE
PPT
PPS
ZIP
RAR
PDF
PSD
DMP

reg Winzip_temp.exe
"...Having DESKTOP.INI and TEMP.HTT in any folder will turn it into an HTML browseable folder. DESKTOP.INI will point to TEMP.HTT as its template file that would run every time the folder is viewed. Inside TEMP.HTT, there will be another call to "WinZip_Temp.exe" to activate it in case there is not any instances of the worm currently running..."
