I had that stupid b.exe (aim virus) thing on my comp. I downloaded the phx program and got rid of it. Problem is the bbb.exe file is still there. I quarentened it but i cant clean it of my comp. In addition to the bbb.exe file i also have several more infected files (also quarentened) and they are as follows: randomiser.exe, A0014063.exe, A0013984.exe, and rbuxgbdz.dll. I know they won't do much so long as they are quarentene but i would prefer they not be there at all. Is there anyway to remove the files without formatting my comp?

Also, after i got it the virus this wierd popup for Golden Palace Casino started to show up every now and again. I ran Ad-aware 6 and Spybot S&D and niether of them came up with anything. Anyone know how to clear the popup off?

Thanks for any help you can give.

To remove the files from Quarentine...depending on what av program you are using you will need to get to the quarentine panel (should be under options or something like that) once open hilight all files listed and click delete button, ok the are you sure box that comes up.

As for the Golden Palace popups...found a site with some info:

http://themezz.com/index.shtml

There might be a file loading up from the xctive x folder...c:\windows\downloaded program files; if you see anything in there relating to Golden Gate delete it.
If you havn't already done so...
Also good idea to delete your temporary internet files and cookies in IE properties, check to delete offline content, ok.
Someone else here might have better info on Golden Gate.

Good luck

I couldnt find the folder the article talked about. However I cleared out my temp folder and cookies and the popup has yet to reappear but it wasnt popping up at random when i first got it so i will let u know if it comes back.

as far as my av program, i am using symantic antivirus corporate edition but is it safe to delete the files? doesnt deleting them mean that the quarentine is lost for a very small time right before they are deleted, so couldnt they escape? i dont know much a whole lot about this stuff. Anyone out there who can shed some light on the situation?

I've done more looking at those file names you have in quarentine...
If your norton detected the virus as downloader.mscache you might want to look at nortons write-up before deleting those files. It seems that you need to "unregister" the nasty browser helper object which means you likely need to restore the .dll file from quarentine in order to unregister it...then remove it again.
sorry this is so confusing but here's the link with instructions.

Downloader.MSCache

Hopefully that helps more

I solved the Golden Palace Casino pop-up problem on my computer running XP. There are two files that you have to remove: htgvnkmx.exe in the Windows/Prefect directory and another file that starts with htgvnkmx that has a .pf suffix that I found in the Windows\System folder. Run a search for htgvnkmx and it will lead you to both.

Also, run regedit and run Find (Control F) htgvnkmx. Delete all folders with reference to it and do the same for casino.

That did it for me. It was really bugging me. Score one for the little guys who have to put up with the dirtbags that attack our computers with adware.

I keep getting the Downloader.MSCache virus and my system 32 folder stays open when windows starts up. i tried what norton anti virus told me to do and it didnt work. i need help.
