Hi there I have some kind of trojan or virus, I was told to use Highjackthis program to remove it but the trojan or virus doesnt let me run the program. I even tried opening regeditor, it closes right away just like Highjackthis. I dont know what to do… How will i remove this thing? The PC starts to get really slow and lagged not allowing me to do anything =(. When the PC starts up there is an error message saying " RUNDLL Error Loading, The specific module could not be found" Also Im using avast antivirus, it found it as a "ASPACK" Win32:Tenga virus/worm. It deleted the exe that was infected along with someother wierd .exes "A054021454.exe" something like that but the problem is still there. I could also get you a copy of the .exe that infected me (I think) I could just download the zip file again and post a link here for examination?

Download SDFix and save it to your Desktop.

Double click SDFix.exe and choose Install to extract it to its own folder on the Desktop.
  • In Safe Mode, right click the SDFix.zip folder and choose Extract All,
  • Open the extracted folder and double click RunThis.bat to start the script.
  • Type Y to begin the script.
  • It will remove the Trojan Services then make some repairs to the registry and prompt you to press any key to Reboot.
  • Press any Key and it will restart the PC.
  • Your system will take longer that normal to restart as the fixtool will be running and removing files.
  • When the desktop loads the Fixtool will complete the removal and display Finished, then press any key to end the script and load your desktop icons.
  • Finally open the SDFix folder on your desktop and copy and paste the contents of the results file Report.txt back onto the forum with a new HijackThis log
