your antivirus is avg right
try kaspersky if you have money or avast for free it's better than avg
and if the virus still there after you disinfect it then use acd.see. Search the virus and delete it directly from acd.see

I must say it is my experience which is speaking

avast is never able to remove the virus from the pendrive
this virus is mostly a malware & trojan in autorun.inf file it created a file named newfolder.exe or other .exe files with the name of the folder that is contained in the pendrive

It is better u get KAV 2009 though trial version or take online scanning

wait I will give u some links

I'm running KAV online in opera but everytime it hangs. Also I've tried MalwareByte's Anti Malware but that also hangs after scanning 3287 files everytime. It takes 2 seconds to scan that many files.

What to do ?

That Blog page is also not opening. Everytime the browser downloads 23% of it and then no more downloading.

Also everytime I'm logging out a small window with undefined written on it and a tab with OK on it.

Two of my friends are also facing the same problems.

I'm pasting here HiJackThis! log of one of them (Jazib).

There's some problem with my modem. I can't connect to the net. I changed some configurations. So I can't update my anti-virus and other softwares.

Also I'm not sure whether the systems at the cafe are infected or not.

I use pendrive for data transfer.

And for the same reason I can't use online scan.

But I can go to cafe which serves me at high speed. Is there some way I can get the updates.

My computer is taking roughly 1hr to get on and even more time to do anything else.


I can't install all the anti-virus mentioned. I have to be specific.

I have AVG 8.5 in a CD.

I have few more softwares -

already installed but have installation file on disk

-MalwareBytes Anti Malware
-Loaris Trojan Remover
-Super Anti Spyware

already installed but installation file is on computer

-Spybot- Search and Destroy

not yet installed and have installation file on disk

-Panda Antivirus (old)
-Norton 360
-Kaspersky Anti-Hacker
-HijackThis!


Some S/W which are already installed are infected too such as MalwareBytes...,AVG8.5, ZoneAlarm.

Those installation files which are on disk are also undert risk that when I execute them they too may get corrupted.

What to do ?

Actaully one of friend came yesterday with hell lotta viruses in his pen drive and his PC. This is what I did....

1. Click Start--->Run and type gpedit.msc. Click on Administrative Templates--->System and on the right pane and double clicked Turn Off Autoplay. I Enabled it and selected All drives in the drop-down menu.

2. Installed Noob Killer. So many viruses and spyware were running. No traditional antiviruses could remove them(Kaspersky and Avast). I did an 8-X Kill with it. It took 20 minutes to scan and kill the viruses. After that the computer got restarted and voila!! not even one malware was running!

3. I went to msconfig--> Startup and removed all the entries there and again restarted.

4. Deleted the New Folder.exe files from the pen drive(which didn't got deleted before the scan) and took it out.

Thus the PC was clean and clear!! Therefore try Noob Killer, it just works!!:)

  1. Insert the Windows XP disc in the drive.
  2. Click on Start and then Run
  3. Type in expand X:\i386\rundll32.ex_ c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe, X is the letter of your CD ROM Drive and restart.
2. regedit is not opening

Download this, run it and click on install!! Hope it works!!

Noob Killer really did its work and rest care was taken by Avira AntiVir. And yes that rundll32.exe solution also helped.

Thnx Mates!
