Comment:

Alot of files all called win*.exe are being created and run on my computer (they are all 32KBs in size and located in the Windows directory), I have scanned fully and can find no virus. My AVG will not update over the internet (it says "Application cannot run due to and error while verifying its electronic certificate").
I had a virus outbreak recently and think this may be a residual effect but don't know what the best course of action is as I can't locate the virus and it seems to interfere with my virus software (I have tried reinstalling AVG and updating it but it still could find no virus).
Thanks!

That was one of the reasons I dumped AVG and went with Avast over 4 yrs ago. I couldn't get the updates.
You may want to try Avast and let it do a bootscan (make sure AVG is not running at that time) Just move whatever it finds to chest, don't try to fix or repair or delete.

Hopefully my advice will help you...Please post back with your results....thanks

And if all else fails post a Hijack This log so that the files associated with the virus/spyware/hijacker can be identified.

Please download HJTsetup.exe from this link http://www.thespykiller.co.uk/files/HJTsetup.exe to your desktop.
Doubleclick on the HJTsetup.exe icon on your desktop.
By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Hijack This.
Continue to click "next" in the setup dialogue boxes until you get to the "Select Addition Tasks" dialogue.
Put a check by "Create a desktop icon" then click "Next" again.
Continue to follow the rest of the prompts from there.
At the final dialogue box click "Finish" and it will launch Hijack This.
Click on the "Do a system scan and save a logfile" button. It will scan and the log should open in notepad.
Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log and post it in this thread.

Do not fix anything yet unless you know what you are doing. This is a powerful tool that can crash the computer if used improperly. fails

"False Positive" simply means something that is mis-reported. It can be either an error (likely in this instance) or deliberate as a goad to purchase.

Run this free online scan from Panda

When the scan completes, if anything malicious is detected, click the See Report button, then Save Report and save it to the desktop, then copy/paste into the text editor and post it.

Maybe this will find the files.
