Thread: virus alert

hello guys....
i have got a problem,while i am trying to open my Mozilla or IE browser,my antivirus software is showing one threat called ..
TR/Proxy.Small.aap with the path as c/windows/system32/6073.exe...
it shows "deny access","delete" other options.But whenever i try to delete it it comes back again when i try to open my browser.what is it?how to get rid of the problem?

install a software called unlocker.use it to delete this file.
http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/unlocker1.8.7.exe

in case if the above solution does not work, use "Delete Doctor" (a small freeware software).

You can select a file to be deleted at system restart. should work without problems.

The file is repeating because some other file is replacing it. It is a common feature of a malware. To get out of this problem, first you need to delete this master file.

Your browser have been hijacked. Uninstall it completely and reinstall. I hope you are using Comodo firewall or spybot which protect your browser start up entry reg key protected.

Run a full system scan after updating your antivirus. Try these for useful tools. Among them use CA Yahoo Antispy and run a scan.

Keep you PC Clean

Hi there "prasanta08", Since file is rebiuld itself than it has to be a mother file installed somwhere. To remove this, first go to the safe mode. Then, disable System Restore. Now, run updated AntiVirus (Still in the safe mode) to make sure there is no malware left in the system. Good Luck .

but there is one problem...i don't know why it's happening....i do a full system scan and it detected 10 such malware but when i deleted those files...i could not open any site with my browser....
can u suggest what should i do??

Possib'ly a Spyware OR something causing such problem, Trojen is also a threat here. Better you scan in the safe mode first, make sure everything is clean & than install an AntiSpyware (SUPERAntiSpyware, Ad-Aware 2009, Spybot S&D) & scan system for any possible Spywares.

Reinstall the browser and check. Also disable firewall and try. While reinstalling, please do not retain old customizations.

thanks guys for ur advice....i uninstalled my browser and did a complete sysytem scan with my antivirus software and anti_malware software....and deleted those file...after that i reinstalled my browser...and it's working fine.....

but one problem still remains....the chekdisk problem....while windows is starting it's always does a disk check for D drive....and when i want to defrag this drive...it is not doing defragmentation...plz suggest what to do....

how to keep XP from running check disk on startup after a non-graceful shutdown..... This is a registry modification:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager
REG_MULTI_SZ: BootExecute=""

with the autocheck autochk * removed you'll no longer be bothered with check disk.

There is a facility called disk doctor in TuneUp Utilities 2009. Try it.

as per your suggestion,i already used tune up utility trial version,but the problem still remains.....i don't know why...plz suggest...

there is a separate, unique case where this problem can occur... If you are dual booting with vista or windows 7, this can occur !

Quite possible.

May be your disk is having a bad sector.

no dual booting is not the case .......
then what could be the reason....and how to solve the problem...i don't have any other trouble using my pc or any performance related problem except the diskcheck at startup...suggest

in CMD type chkdsk D: & wait for check to finish.after that reboot PC.

IF the above doesn't work, try this too

There are some people suggested to edit the registry but the proper way to disable CHKDSK from starting up is using the /x switch on chkntfs command in command prompt. The /x switch will exclude a drive from the default boot-time check. If you have drive C: as your hard drive, then the command to disable chkdsk from scanning C: drive would be:

chkntfs /x c:

If you have 2 drive, C and D, you can disable chkdsk with the command below

chkntfs /x c: d:

1.Put windows xp CD in the drive.
2.Open cmd prompt and type sfc /scannow

this will replace all your modified system files with original one.
