I can't get rid of these two viruses.
http://img357.imageshack.us/img357/4528/virusrg6.jpg [Those two]
Every time I do a scan, which is three times a day, it's STILL THERE! I delete them, and they're back again the next time.
It's been there for the past weeks.
Please help!

For anti-virus software, I prefer Avast! (remember to only use one anti-virus per system) and superantispyware.

superantispyware only detects the copied file of the virus on your comp, the real threat or the root file(virus) is hiding elsewhere like in your system w/c mosty free antivirus programs don't scan/detects. thats why whenever you delete the infected file, they will regenerate, again, and again, so i suggest you do a manual way to find the virus, hmm, just use security task manager, download it, install it, and register it, heres the reg code

("Torsten_Altmann+&:.xm.z1111Jlyq11cClY111 hJ11iBG" ), if detects something above 80%, quarantine it, but dont delete it yet, and by the way, smitfraud is not a virus, it is only a false positive, it is virus removal tool, well, if you want to try and use it, why not, maybe this can remove the virus, man, i dont know the real virus name so you cant just use hijack this, hmm, is there any new unfamiliar procesess running on your taskbar? for now dowload security task manger and install, then scan....i'll wait for your reply....buddy...

I had the same problems that required a complete disk cleanup by my companion knowledgeable in this area. She knew which files and documents to save and threw out everything else. Then we succumbed to buying Verizon Security Suite at $6.00 a month. The trade off is that it slows everything even to getting on to the Internet. But it does the job. Both periodic scans can last about 2 hours, but you can work while in progress.

I know why this happens. Some viruses nowadays hack your system restore. They restore themselves back even after you delete them.

To remove the virus follow the instructions in this site to disable temporarily system restore.http://support.microsoft.com/kb/264887

After doing so do a scan, preferably a "boot-time" scan

This will take care of your problem ;)



I suggest you switch to avg free edition.. this antivirus is really good.

It says you have a Smitfraud infection.



SmitfraudFix is a specialized removal tool for it.
