I ran into a strange virus the other day. I use PCcillin antivirus, and it detected nothing, even with the newest code? Well, I went to the company's website, and did a online scan. This is, it identified a virus called "Backdoor.sdbot". The virus hide itself in the C:/Windows/system & C:/_Restore, and in my memory it was in the from of Kernel32.exe <-- (Tricky fellow). Anyway, using the standord procedures, I deleted them all, scanned again, and am a little bit sure there are no viruses left in my computer. But..... my problem continues. Why did I think I had a virus/trojan horse in the first place? Well, because, everytime I open my notebook, the "My Documents" folder would randomly open! And lots of them, sometimes 10 in a minute! It was so serious that even if I SHUT OFF my computer completely (lights off, disk stopped, looks completely normal), it will reopen in a few minutes, enter windowsME, and open a "My documents" folder. Well, even now, when I've already used a online scan and deleted the virus (or so I think), this sympton is as strong as ever! What should I do????? Formatting is not an option, since I'm applying to college this year, and everything important is in my computer. I have no other computers to type my essays. I read the BACKDOOR.SDBOT is, namely, a trojan horse that opens a backdoor. SO maybe the "My documents" relentlessly opening problem has something to do with a program that has been altered while my computer was vunerable to other users, and so, the problems continue even if I have already removed the virus? I don't know, all I know is, I have to get rid of this problem fast. Please help me, I'd appreciate a lot. Thank you for reading this.

Let's have a look, Download 'Hijack This!'. Unzip, doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan". When the scan is finished, click "Save Log", and copy and paste it in a reply. HijackThis!
