Hi Carol,
Your post has given me a real fright!!
Does this mean that my own computer is infected with the malicious code too??
As I couldn't get a stable internet connection on the problem computer, I emailed
the HJT log as a Text file to my computer. So I could then attempt to post it online.
I thought this would be perfectly safe as I keep my machine up to date with Trend
Micro Internet Security 2004, I check for updates every time I log on. I keep Spybot
up to date with Tea timer and immunize enabled. And run frequent checks with Ad aware.
I even did a virus scan on the txt file when I saved it to disk.
I've also just installed Spyware Blaster as you suggested in your earlier post.
Does this mean that I need to reformat and reinstall Windows ME and the other programs
on my "own" machine as well as the problem computer?
What about all the personal files - do they need to be dumped?
I was in the process of backing up to disk the personal files and folders on the
problem machine as there are vital research & work files which can't afford to be
lost.
Can I be sure if I scan with McAfee and RAV that all the personal files are clean?
What about emails that have been sent out both by me and from the other PC are these
likely to be infected with the code too!
I really appreciate the time and effort you've given me. I can't believe people write
these malicious viruses.
Allan :(
