downloader.revop.a uploads the following files in the program files folder:

pup.exe
over.exe

it also drops a copy of itself using a random file name in the windows system folder.

first you need to identify the malware program.

do an online virus scan here

then you need to terminate the program by pressing alt+ctrl+del , locate the program and end task it.


finally remove autostart entries:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run ** delete the file found in the right pane **

Hope there's not a "next time" but if so it is best posted on the Security & Virus forum.
