Virus/Trojan problem

[Steve]

Hi
I have today found that my XP SP2 PC is throwing up numerous problems of
viruses and trojans.
My NAV2004 is up to date and it doesn't find anything.
The main problem in the NAV2004 found is for DOWNLOADER, I think this is
then downloading other trojans etc!!

I have run NAV from Safe Mode but nothing found.
Adaware had been run and all things found removed.

I am currently running SpyHunter V2.9 and this has found Virtumonde,
Zlob.Trojan so far

When I boot my PC it struggles to boot fully as IEXPLORE is hogging all
resources at 100% CPU usage.

Any ideas on how to proceed in removing DOWNLOADER if this is the main
cause.

Also stopping IEXPLORE from starting and hogging all memory at boot up would
be great.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards
Worried Steve

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware with
assistance from an expert. **Post your log to

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.

Just to add to what PA Bear has said.

The scanning engine on your NAV2004 is four years out of date. It doesn't
matter if the virus definitions are current or not, the engine (the way it
looks for viruses) itself is 4 years old which is very far behind the times,
upgrade your anti-virus software.
Try this one (stay away from NAV) you will not regret it.
