I need your serious help on a matter. I am having this virus which affect all the .exe i have in my system.
The virus is Virus.Win32.Virut.gI have been using Kaspersky 2009.
It catches it and disinfect it but the virus comes again. I even deleted all the backups of softwares i have ( which it says contains this virus) but again the virus comes.I have almost re-install windows 10 times. I am using Windows XP Professional SP2.
Please help me man !!! Please tell me what to do !!!

Unfortunately, the virus you have infects every .exe and .scr (actually an executable) file on your system, and when you scan with a virus scanner, it will normally delete it as uncleanable. Eventually you end up loosing more and more files. The only viable alternative is to format the system. You will need to backup your important files before a format and reinstall, but you can not backup any .exe or .scr files, because they are infected. And as I already explained, Virut infects every exe. This means that you may not delete these files, but they should be disinfected. And since it's a buggy virus, the files cannot be properly disinfected.
This unfortunately means that this is a game over situation and there's nothing much you can do besides formatting and reinstalling Windows.
Don't backup your files either, because when you backup exe files, they are also infected. You can however backup pictures and documents.Zip and rar archive files would not be infected, unless it's a self extracting archive (and .exe file), however, any enclosed executable files could be infected, so any archive files you backup need to be carefully scanned, particularly anything that has been recently downloaded. This infection is mainly getting installed via crack sites and keygen sites.
You will need to reinstall windows. Visit the michaelstevenstech site for great instructions on reinstalling windows.
