Virus?

[Ghtpua]

Hi,

This pc uses WinXP.

The scanning software said it found to viruses and is not able to get rid of them. I also tried the text to fix it, however, that did not work either. I have no clue how the viruses got there. This pc was scanned for viruses and it found 2 on both .exe .dll explorers in the system32 folder.

How is the problem fixed without reformatting? Please and thank you.

Do I replace the explorers with one from the cd, maybe and if so how? Please and thank you. I did that once with win98 with the kernal32 file in dos mode, which worked great, however, I am not sure if it will work with explorer or win XP and I forgot and lost the rules to fix it in dos.

Is there a easier way for it to be fixed and if so how? Please and thank you.

Hi,

when scanning in safe mode should I do this before (Start,Control panel, System, System Restore, then check the box thats says turn off system restore and when the message appears click ok? Please and thank you.

You said Explorer is detected? Read these also. This trojan does that.
