Was downloading a driver for my ATI Radon 9600 from your affiliate www.drivergude.com, AVG came up and said that Setup.exe is infected with Win32/CIH. I did some search through google since AVG did not remove it and found out that even the cleancih.exe, mcafee, and norton products - dont not remove it, so what do i do. Am i f---ed? I have already called in microsoft to activate my windows xp computer twice in the last 3 weeks dont make me do it again, please.

When you run a scan does it find files infected? No not install that driver on you system! Download the driver from ATI. http://www.ati.com/ If you know the manufac and dont have to do research using model #'s and FCC ID's and such to find out what device it is always download the driver from the Manufac's web page.

Do not trust the downloads you get from user uploaded files like at driverguide.com. just go to ati.com and get the driver from there.

This bug has several names... Chernobyl, PE_CIH, Win95.CIH, Win32.CIH, W95/CIH.1003, CIH.Spacefiller If this is what you have... 1. Download and run the CIH removal tool, according to the instructions on the download page. Do not restart the computer until you are instructed to do so. http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/kill_cih.html 2. Run LiveUpdate of Norton AV (in your case AVG) to make sure that you have the most recent virus definitions. 3. Start NAV (AVG)and make sure that it is configured to scan all the files. For instructions, read the document, "How to configure Norton AntiVirus to scan all files." 4. Run a full system scan. 5. If any files are detected as infected by W95.CIH, click Repair. If NAV reports that a file cannot be repaired, write down the file name, and then click Delete. It appears from Symantecs site, the removal tool deletes the virus from the memory, but your updated AV removes the virus from files. Symantecs state, running your AV before useing the removal tool will spread the infection. Good luck and sorry you picked up a virus from a site designed to help people !

I should have added.... get rid of the virus before you think of sorting the driver problem.

Also.. the driverguide site doesnt warn you until your ready to download the driver. "Warning: download and use this file at your own risk! DriverGuide.com has not checked this file.
