My anti virus software is finding the virus TR/Winad.A but it says it can't get rid of it because it is an archive cab file.I can't find the source because the route and file it shows doesn't exist(or I can't find it).Adware and Xcleaner don't even find it.Does anyone know what it is? What it does? and how to get rid of it? HELP ME PLEASE THE PARIAH

hi parish, here's the manual removal: disable your system restore, get the latest defs for your anti-virus, adaware and spybot. reboot into safe mode. scan your computer with all of these and delete all files they come up with. next: do a control alt delete to open up box showing your process list and do this Kill these processes if they exist: winad.exe WNAD.EXE next go into your registry and delete these registry values: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\clsid\{53d3c442-8fee-4784-9a21-6297d39613f0} HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\classes\clsid\{53d3c442-8fee-4784-9a21-6297d39613f0} HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\browser helper objects\{53d3c442-8fee-4784-9a21-6297d39613f0} next do a search for this dll and delete it. winad2.dll next delete these files if found in your windows and or windows system32 directory: winad.exe, winad2.dll wnad.exe, wnad.dat, wnad-update.exe also delete the entry WNAD found in this registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\WNAD reboot into normal mode and re enable your system restore. all the best, murve

I have the same problem. I have winad.exe running in my task process list, but everytime I try to end the process, it jumps to the top of the list. Same goes with the winclt.exe process.

I got rid of it by going to control panel and click the Internet Options icon and clicked on delete files and erase history. Ran the scan again and it was gone.

Hi, I've tried Options icon and clicked on delete files and erase history, still detects the virus, plus tried to go to my registery! that winad wasn't there HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run thats all! couldn't find the Winad should I be worried? plus it doesn't show on my windows task manager running at all, only win thing there is, is Winlogon.exe
