PC Virus help

dool · 07-01-2009, 05:34 AM

Some of my staff have managed to get their PCs infected with some viruses.

In task manager it comes up showing that their are processes running called nl2.exe, nl3.exe, nl5.exe, nl7.exe, ree1.exe, ree2.exe

I've run AVG, it identified them and siupposedly removed them, but when you log off and on again they are back.

Our IT guy is currently away on vacation.

Anyone got any suggestions?

any help really appreciated

make sure to scan any files going out of the infected computers, and if they're on a network together disconnect them if you can till your IT guy get's back.

look up those process names on google, find out if the virus(s) are grabbing personal information or fucking with random files, you might not want to use them at all till they're clean.

if the above doesn't work throw the infected machines into a large body of water. if they sink, they're a witch and good riddance amiright!
if they don't sink they're a super witch and get the hell out of there as fast as you can cause they're

Might also wanna check if System Restore is enabled, turn it off - How to turn off and turn on System Restore in Windows XP
Re-run the scan, reboot and turn system restore back on.

Might also try Malwarebytes instead of AVG.

consider running the scans from safe mode w/o networking support some malware does not start in safe mode and can be cleaned easier when they are not running.
