Hi
I would be very grateful for any help or advise on how to remove malware from my PC, I'm not exactly sure what I have but it's making my pc run very slowly (seems to be hogging the memory). I'm also getting lots of error messages deniying access to various places including outlook express . It was identified as EXPLOIT by AVG Antivirus, (free edition) on 2.11.07 and is now in my AVG virus vault. I've tried scanning pc with the online scanner on the Trend Micro site (which took 7 hours and warned me that my internet access was extreemly slow). Trend micro found 2 infections. which it described as TROJ_Generic in
C:\Documents & settings\LouiseWoolliscroft\Local Settings\Temp\ BJ15.tmp
C:\Documents & settings\LouiseWoolliscroft\Local Settings\Temp\ BJ12D.tmp
PC Guard Anti Virus (which comes with my broadband) also found 2 viruses (approx 2 weeks ago) W32/Dropper.EAD but it managed to delete these and it doesn't seem like they are causing the problems.
Hope thats the correct information, I'm new to using this type of forum

NB: forgot to mention operating system is windows XP Hi As no replies as yet, I thought I'd add an update on how things are progressing. Things have become a lot worse, I can't acess my e-mail at all as access denied to Outlook Express. I've been trying to follow the self help steps detailed on this site and the ones on Geeks to go. I did manage to update to Internet Explorer 7 and checked Microsoft site for critical updates, also ran AVG spyware (free version) it found 11 tracking cookies but nothing suspicious. Since yesterday eve I've not been able to download anything at all from the internet so I can't use any of the other programmes suggested. Panic is setting in. Any advise gratefully recieved Thanks Altylou
Hiya
Thankyou so much for replying, I'm desperate to get off this pc and back to normal life again (although I think I'm learning a lot, especially from this excellent site). Anyway New Hijack this log file below.
Update: Since yesterday when things got really bad, I spoke to a mate who thought the probs. might be at least partly to do with my system folders being in a mess (whether this is caused by a virus or me not knowing enough- remains to be seen) but anyway he advised me to set a new XP user account and that has made a big difference; i.e. less error messages and I can now download from the web. So re; your site's self help suggestions; I've downloaded & run the AFT cleaner and spybot and AVG anti spyware (although I've ended up with a free limited version, not a full trial version). But anyway they've both found things and it seems to be helping.

The main problem I still have is that I still can't open Outlook express, so I can't access all my outlook express folders and old e-mails (with job info) and address book contacts. Error message 0x800c012e, and says something like `OE can't be initiallised it may not be properly installed, or may not have enough disk space (but disk is 3/4 empty). I can now open OE via the new user account but only a new empty version of OE, not my identity. I've tried importing my old OE folders and address book into the new version - but says file is empty or being used by another person. (when no other users logged on). I assume the virus has damaged the OE files. Hope this all makes sense and thanks again for getting back to me.
AltyLou
