Re: HELP! my comp got virus. AVG cant scan any drives

Quote:
C:\windows\.MS32DLL.dll.vbs and C:\windows\boot.ini could be infected
The first item is probably more likely a virus - the second, not so clear:

http://fileinfo.prevx.com/filesearch...S32DLL.dll.vbs


There is a generally reliable way to find out for sure and perhaps also an indication of the exact nature of the infection. If you can browse to the following site VirusTotal, then you can submit each file for their analysis and immediate feedback (for posting back here).

Additionally, if AVG removed shell32.dll (did it?) then it would be wise to also scan that one to see if XP reinstated an infected copy or a clean one. You want to be as clear as possible on what you are dealing with before you start removing files. Removing files is not the difficult part - removing the correct ones is often less clearcut.
