Viruses

[Guest]

I'm being plagued by 2 viruses. 1)Keycodec.661(1).exe and 2) DirectVideo
Setup aka
troj/zlob-xy. I've run Norton, AdAware, SpyBot and Spyware Doctor. They all
claimed to have removed these problems after I ran them. But these viruses
are still there. I even went through the Safe Mode to get rid of them but
with no luck.
A program called "Prevx1" claims to be able to remove the "Keycodec" virus
and a program called "Sophos" claims to be able to remove the "DirectVideo"
virus. I am not familiar with either of these programs. Has anyone used them
or does anyone have any suggestions on how to get rid of these viruses.

All help willbe greatly appreciated by me.

If you still have problems, download/run HijackThis from:
http://www.richardthelionhearted.com/~merijn/downloads.html
http://majorgeeks.com/downloads31.html

Copy HJT to it's own folder, this is where the log files will be saved. Run HJT in
Normal Mode.
Do not remove anything with it until you get advice on what to remove, HJThis will
list many apps that are needed along with the bad ones. Removing items listed
hap-hazardly without knowing what they are can/will create a royal mess. Read the
quick start here on how to create a log file that can be copied/pasted into a forum
that can provide assistance on removal of unwanted pests.

Then post the logs to an appropriate forum where they specialize in
spyware/hijacker removal. Please read any sticky notes for proper posting which are
most commonly posted first at the top in each specific forum. Read any information
under each forum category name for information on what that particular one is used
for, look for the proper one that you post logs to.

Thanks Brian. It's 2:30 AM I think I'll tackle your solution after I get some
sleep. I've heard of HijackThis but never used it. I'll be sure to read it
before using it.
