A new virus???
Hay Guys. I have got a seriuos trouble today . I am using a win7 ultimate 64 and I noticed that a virus is there who is quiet AND EATING MY FILES AND SOFTWARES. AS SOON AS I TRIED TO CURE OR DELETE IT , IT WENT WILD AND STARTED CONTROLING THE SYSTEM COPMPLETELY. THE REGULAR ANTI VIRUSES SUCH AS MICROSOFT SECURIRY AND NORTON 360 ARE HOPELESS. THEY WILL GET CONTROLED BY THE VIRUS AS SOON AS THEY ARE IN THE SYSTEM. THE VIRUS ACTUALLY USING ALL THE FILES INCLUDING WINDOWS SENSITIVE SYSTEM FILES SUCH AS KERNEL AND SVGHOST AND USE THEM FOR ITS OWN PURPOSES . i AM NORT RECEIVING ANY KIND OF WARNING BUT IT IS ACTUALLY CONTROLING WHERE I AM GOING OR WHAT i DO. iT EVEN CUT ME OF FROM THE NETWORK A COUPLE OF TIMES. hOWEVER, i EVEN FORMATTED MY HARD DISK AND RE INSTALLED THE WINDOWS BUT NOTHING. THE FIRST THING YOU SEE IS ITS SYMPTHOMS. ANYBODY HAS AN IDEA, WILL BE APPRECIATED.

Confirm the source of your installation media is a legitmate Microsoft vendor. The reinstall indicates the possibility of malware included in the installation files. Here's an example: http://voices.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2009/05/pirated_windows_7_installer_ha.html?wprss=securityfix

Hi, Thanks for posting in Microsoft TechNet forums. If there is any antivirus installed, I suggest we perform the following steps to protect the system: Step 1: Disable and Enable System Restore to clear the virus permanently. Many viruses infect restore points. In order to clear the infected files permanently, we should clear the restore points. Please use the steps below to do so: 1. Click "Start, input "SYSDM.CPL" (without quotation marks) and press "Enter". 2. On the "System Protection" tab, click to turn off System Restore on all drives, and click "OK". 3. Please repeat the above steps to enable System Restore again. Step 2:Boot your computer into Safe Mode and then run your antivirus software on your computer to scan for and remove any possible Virus and Malware infections. 1. Restart the computer. 2. Keep pressing the F8 key until the Windows Startup menu appears. 3. Choose "Safe Mode", and press "Enter". 4. Run the computer in Safe Mode. 5. Start your antivirus program and scan the system in Safe Mode. If your antivirus software is still not working properly, please scan for virus in Safe Mode with Networking. Note: If you are using a cable modem or home LAN connection, please start from item 1 below. If not, please skip items 1~3 and go to item 4 directly. 1. Restart the computer. 2. After "POST" (the Power On Self Test usually has a text mode screen at the beginning when a system boots up), keep pressing the F8 key until the Windows Startup menu appears. 3. Choose "Safe Mode with Networking" and press Enter. 4. Please open Internet Explorer and visit http://safety.live.com 5. Please click the "Full Service Scan" button and follow the instructions on screen to scan for viruses on the computer. Please check if you can remove the virus now.
