For the past five days I've had a really bad infection on my computer, and everything I've tried has failed to get rid of it. I'm really getting desperate as I have my final university dissertation to work on and this virus is really hindering me from writing it!! Can anyone here help me out please?
To make it short and sweet, here are the details in point form:
- I'm running Windows Vista 32-bit Home Premium
- Currently using Trend Micro Internet Security 2008. No other antivirus software in use as far as I'm aware.
- Trend Micro scans identify multiple files infected with Troj_Generic.adv
- Trend Micro keep telling me it's blocked rundll32.exe in my Windows/system32 folder because of Troj_Generic.adv
What I've tried:
- Updating my Trend Micro and running a full system scan. This removes some infected files, but leaves others.
- Running the Trend Micro antivirus scan in Windows safe mode. Removes infected files that the above scan couldn't, but on restarting my computer I still get warnings about TROJ_Generic.ADV
- Using System Restore to a date when I know my computer was fine. Still hasn't helped. The virus is still there.
My HijackThis log is shown below, together with my virus scan report from Trend Micro (both logs from today).
