mingo

i have a XP w/ sp2 laptop that was infected with a trojan. when i browse 'My
Computer' and double click on a drive letter i get the 'Open With' box
prompting for a program to use for the C or D drive. i can browse to
explorer.exe but the 'Always use the selected program....' option is grayed
out. also Windows Explorer is missing. i thought it was under Accessories.
right clicking and choosing explore also prompts me for Open wih. the
problem doesnt exist when i access the CD-Rom drive. Help please.

When you double click your c drive it gives you an option to choose

double click your c drive solved
1-2. double click on My computer on Desktop ,
- choose Tool and select "Folder options"
- click on "View" tap select "Show Hidden files and folders" and un
hake "Hide Extention...."
- and "Hide protected operating system file" (this selections are
important to find the files you need to delete)
- then click "OK"

3. open Windows Task Manager (ctrl-alt-del) and select the "Processes"
tap
- Click on "Image name" to sort File
- find "wscript.exe" and click on "End Process" (if there is more than
one process with that name you have to end all of them)
- close the "Task Manager"

4. then you will click on Start and select "Search" and search for
"autorun.inf" (Search the computer)
- you will then delete all the files that contains the text
MS32DLL.dll.vbs (the virus) by pressing: SHIFT + DELETE. (There of
course should not be Autorun.inf in the C rooth).

5. you will also delete the virus from the system (C:\WINDOWS\
MS32DLL.dll.vbs) by pressing: SHIFT + DELETE

6. Next step is to edit the Register (Like always you have to be very
care fool in the registry tools. Some mistake there can crash your
computer)

- first, click on "Start" and select "Run" and type in "Regedit" and
press "Enter".
- select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE --> Software -->Microsoft -->Windows -->
Current Version --> Run.
- find there "MS32DLL" and delete that entry.

6. Then select HKEY_CURRENT_USER --> Software --> Microsoft -->
Internet Explorer --> Main. There you find "Window Title "Hacked by
Godzilla"" and you should delete that entry. You can close the
registry now.

7. next you will click on Start --> Run and type in "gpedit.msc" and
press "Enter". then you will open "Group Policy".
- there you will select User Configuration --> Administrative
Templates --> System --> and there you will double click on "Turn Off
Autoplay"

- in the window there you should select "Enabled" and select "All
drives" (they say in this Thai webside that select all turn of
Autoplay will be safer for not getting viruses). Now you can close the
Group Policy.

8. Next you will click on Start --> Run and type "msconfig" and press

file" and "Don't show hidden files and folders".
