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

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.
