Hi everybody.
recently, i can not directly open the external drive(i.e pen drive) shorcut on the desktop. Somehow, the dialog box popped up and showed the error: Can not find script file "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\autorun.vbs"
Does anyone know what does this error mean ?
in addition, some web pages will pop up when my computer is first connecting to the internet.
so how to prevent this web page from popping up itself?
Thanks in advance!

Open HijackThis > Do a System Scan Only, close your browser and all open windows, the only program or window you should have open is HijackThis, check the following entries and click on Fix Checked.
If you set these yourself or an administrator set them then leave them alone otherwise fix them also O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions present
O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present
You need to enable windows to show all files and folders, instructions Here
C:\WINDOWS\WUAUCLT.EXE<–Delete this file, be careful because this file in windows\system32 is legit.
in addition, i had used my antivirus program to remove the viruses yesterday. those viruses detected were " autorun.vbs, sxs.exe, wuauclt.exe "
i have followed the instructions u told me and fixed checked the following:
O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions present
O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present
On the other hand, i can not find these two lines:
F2 - REG:system.ini: UserInit=userinit.exe,autorun.bat
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Microsoft] C:\WINDOWS\wuauclt.exe
and the file from C:\WINDOWS\WUAUCLT.EXE (note: maybe deleted by my antivirus program)
Besides, i found the "WUAUCLT.EXE-399A8E72.pf" at C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch and "wuauclt" at location C:\WINDOWS\system32 and C:\WINDOWS\system32 \dllcache respectively.
So, do i need to delete them all also?

Your log looks fine but we need to make sure nothing is hiding on us. Run the trial of AVG Anti Spyware, it will clean any bad files along with producing a log for me to see. Its important that I see the log so make sure to save it.

We got rid of the worm, AVG Rootkit found nothing, AVG Anti Spyware found nothing. If you had something bad on your system, AVG would have found it. The rest of your log looks fine
If your still having problems it may be windows related.
How is your system behaving now??
my computer seems like running smoothly.
but my still external hard disk gives me this windows script host error: can not find script file "H:\autorun.vbs" after i click on the removeable hard disk icon.
finally, i can open the external hard disk in the normal way without any error after reformating the external hard disk.
Thanks for your help.
can you tell me how can this virus autorun.vbs infected my external hard disk? if i used my infected external hard disk on my friend's computer, would my friend's computer be infected by this virus?
Yes it will most likely effect his computer. When you ran AVG Anti Spyware, did you have your external drive on and checked in AVG so that it would check that drive also.
You need to enable windows to show all files and folders, instructions Here
Do a windows search on the infected drive and for this VBS.Gaggle.E. and see if anything comes up. This is a mass mailing worm. You may have to copy any important files to a CD disk and reformat the external drive.
besides that, my friend sent me one useful file which can detect autorun file and kill it immediately without formatting my external hard disk. i want to upload this file to here, but can not find the upload or attachment button. i hope this file(556 bytes only) can help other people also.

Your log still looks fine and AVG found and removed a few things so I think your good to go.
The only thing you can upload to the forum is a HJT log or another scanned log . You can't upload a exe file, and I don't want to post anything for someone else to use until its been checked and tested by our staff. Thanks for the concern.

Malware Complaints
Are you mad ? I mean really mad, seething mad, so mad your ready to spit, mad that you have taken your hard earned dollars to buy a computer only to have some Miscredents, Dirt Bags and Cyber Criminals install a malicious program on your computer without your knowledge or consent. You can post your complaint at the above site. If you live in the U.S.A. you can also report your grievance to your State Attorney Generals Office and the Federal Trade Commission's Bureau of Consumer Protection.
How did I get infected in the first place ? Read these links and find out how to prevent getting infected again.
Tutorial for System Restore <– Do this first to prevent yourself from being reinfected.
Spyware Blaster It will prevent most spyware from ever being installed.
Spyware Guard It offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts.
Win Patrol This program will warn you when any changes are being made to your system and give you the option to deny the change.
IE-Spyad
IE-Spyad places over 4000 web sites and domains in the IE Restricted list which will severely impair attempts to infect your system. It basically prevents any downloads (cookies etc) from the sites listed, although you will still be able to connect to the sites.
Firefox 2.0 It has more features and is a lot more secure than IE. It is a very easy and painless download and install, it will no way interfere with IE, you can use them both.
Zone Alarm Here is a free Firewall from Zone Labs, I wouldn't access the internet without it.
Thanks for stopping by Tom Coyote , I'm glad I was able to help you.
