According to my Virus-scanner,I have two(2) infected files,with the Win.exe.virus.Those files are: C:\cpqs\quicksr\PQFF\PQFFIN9X.exe and,D:\CPQDRV\156376\B2A\022\156376.ZIP:CPQ... According to the scan,they are probably infected with said virus,because it could not "read"them,because they are corrupted.Appreciated it very much,if somebody advises me what to do! I thank you very much in advance! Matthew.

Matthew: W32/Maldal-G is a worm which spreads as an email attachment. The subject of the email is "ZaCker". The name of the attachment is ZaCker.exe. The email message text is chosen randomly from the following list : Test this game I wish u like it I have got this file for you Surprise !!! download this game & have fun ;) desktop maker ,you may need it ;) have you ever got a gift !?

The message title is : Project1 The fake message is : Run time error '71' Object required The worm will then create a copy of itself named win.exe in the Windows system folder and add the registry value HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\run\System which contains the name of the copy. The worm will also attempt to delete files used by anti-virus and other security software from the following directories : Program Files\Zone Labs Program Files\AntiViral Toolkit Pro Program Files\Command Software\F-PROT95 eSafe\Protect PC-Cillin 95 PC-Cillin 97 Program Files\Quick Heal Program Files\FWIN32 Program Files\FindVirus Toolkit\FindVirus f-macro Program Files\McAfeeVirusScan95 Program Files\Norton AntiVirus TBAVW95 VS95 rescue It will also delete files which have the following extensions HTM PHP HTML COM BAT MDB XLS DOC LNK PPS PPT JPG MPEG INI DAT ZIP TXT Finally the worm will change the name of the infected computer to "ZaCker". What you need to do is use one of the free online scanners to remove the virus.... also use a worm/trojan scanner. goto: Trend Micro House Call Free Virus Scanner" Swat-it Trojan/Worm Scanner hope this helps....

Hi! Tank863, Thanks for your quick and excellent response.Did what you told me to do.Swat it found 2 files that were infected(C:\Windows\Desktop\Downloads\P...and C:\Windows\Desktop\Programs\Text... with the Invite engine virus. I choose the option,"Clean all"(in Swat it).Did I do the right thing and are the files de-infected or did I loose both files?If so,how do I get them back.Could not find said virus in the Symantec virus encyclopedia.Your input is greatly appreciated. Matthew.
