Hey, I have run into some problems with some sort of Win32 virus. After running Ad Aware I found and deleted all of the files found. Some of them stayed deleted while others would return after reboot. They are all hidden files located in the system 32 folder and here is a list of the ones I cannot delete:
bszip.dll
cmd.exe
netstat.exe
regedit.exe
taskkill.exe
tasklist.exe
tracet.exe
Although some of these files look legit, they are indeed clones of the original which are part of Win 32.
I can easily find and delete these files, but the problem is they come back after reboot. Can anyone help me? Thank you very much in advance. :)
Adam
