virus help

[jeff]

My system contracted a virus which was not initially
detected by my antivirus software. It was the type that
changed my home page and also redirected all search
submissions.

I ran a virus scan which revealed the suspect files all of
which have now been deleted. A new virus scan confirmed
that I have no 'threats' on my system.

But IE still redirects searches and changes my home page
on start-up. I have done a 'clean boot'of the system but
without success. The original virus was in the 'Adware'
family. The search site that my browser is redirected to
is http://nkvd.us/1507/

Help please (but keep it simple!!)

Hey man you seem to be going through the same thing I am.
My home page keeps being set to http://nkvd.us/1524/ and
that redirects to http://searchpage.cc/. I went through
the same steps you did, nothing has worked either. I've
used SpyBot Ad-Aware, and HiJackThis so far. My question
is are you able to use other forum sites? My homepage and
address search bar features are messed messed from it but
I also can't seem to post on any other forum pages or log
into any sites that require a login. This has kept me from
being able to recieve help with my HiJackThis log file.
just curious..

Jeff,
Download and run Run CWShredder from
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html
CWShredder will solve the nkvd.us problem.

Just to be thorough...
Then download, install, *update* and run both of these programs:
Ad-aware from http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/
Spybot from http://security.kolla.de/ (Remove items listed in red-others are
optional.)
Both programs should be updated after installation- before use.

Hope this helps,
Don

Have at last found and effected the fix. Go to;

www.zerosrealm.com/downloads/CWShredder.zip

Save to disk first. When I tried to open the file
directly it was intercepted by the virus.

It worked for me.
