Daisyanne

just reinstalled a fresh win xp pro and running in the background is
uasdfbgibv.exe which is located in windows\system32 - a search on google,
msn, yahoo and others did not bring up one entry which i find very strange.

anyone know what this is please? (have run an uptodate AVG virus scan and
all is clean)

thanks

Hi,

It's a trojan (virus) file. Follow these "relatively" simple removal steps:

Restart in Safe mode by hitting F8 as Windows first begins to load on boot.
Logon as administrator.

Start/search/files and folders, look for <filename> and delete it wherever
it is found.

Start/run regedit, expand the + signs to look under these keys:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg

Look in the right hand pane for the string or strings that load that file.
Delete just those strings that contain the reference. Do not delete other
strings or the keys from the left pane. Close the registry editor when
completed, make sure you check all strings.

Go to the Control Panel/System/System Restore tab. Check the box to "Turn
off system restore on all drives". Click apply/ok. This will remove all
restore points, however you don't want them back as some or all of them will
contain the virus depending upon how recently you got infected.

Restart the system normally. Go back to the Control Panel/System and restart
System Restore.

Update your antivirus software, run a full system scan.

Thanks for that. ive done all the steps except for the 3rd one as i dont
have that tree (msconfig..) Its not loading now. I did notice that i have
a pagefile.sys of 9.5 Gigs which seems very odd. Also my newly installed
windows is in a partition which apparently is 9.5 gigs large since install
day beforeyesterday!! cant see how as there are no files over 50 megs -
apart from the pagefile sys. where the rest of the space has gone i just
done know. it all sounds a bit odd to me.

thanks anyway.
