Hey,

I have had a weird problem lately, one day this week I checked the running processes in task manager and noticed a "ypager.exe" running which didnt use to be there as I dont have yahoo messenger, so I decided to scan my pc, and avg found it as a virus aswell as 2 other files that went with it, the same day, I decided it was time to format anyways so I formated and the same virus came back, later on I checked my sister's pc and she had the same one, I also checked my mom and she also had it:\.

the only thing that has "changed" is that we installed a windows update that was required to accomodate a new dsl connection.

and this is the update I installed

is there a way I could format once again to really get rid of that virus ?

Thanks
