I'm new to this site and I came here using Google, trying to solve my problem. So, to make it a short one, here it goes :
I detected the problem on saturday (25 april 2009) when my NOD32 Antivirus 3.0.650.0 detected a virus. It was like a stack of viruses. In fact they were all in the same folder, generated by some .exe from my computer. The antivirus quaratined them saying that it "cleaned by deleting-quaratined" them. In the folder where the viruses were created, there were also some other files, which I deleted. Later, I encounter another error of the same type. SAME files created, at the SAME destionation, in the SAME folder (same folder name, 'cause I deleted the previous one). The .exe files were different this time. So, NOD32 sais that this is a Win32/AutoRun.Agent.GR worm, it detects it, but seems that it cannot erase it.
Probably some more important things that I should tell are :
- the folder in which the virused folder is created is named "Transfer" (because it is a shared folder with a laptop in my house). I have this Transfer folder on both D:\ and E:\ . The virused folder gets created in both of these folders. On C:\ is my Windows installation folder; C:\ and D:\ are the partitions of the same HDD, E:\ is a different HDD (used mainly for downloads).
- the virus is created by different applications, like svchost.exe, wuauclt.exe from system32, or from some applications like iexplorer.exe (also from C:\) or firefox.exe (from D:\). I also noticed that I have 2 system32 folders : "system32" (from where svchost.exe creates the worm) and "System32" (from which wuauclt.exe creates the worm); donno if this is right, it may be, but I don't know exactly.
Ok, now that I presented the problem, I'll also tell you what I've already done, trying to remove the virus.
- scanned with NOD32 (+ in-depths mode) but it doesn't detect anything.
- scanned with Super AntiSpyware, also nothing. (it was one time when NOD32 warned me that superantispyware.exe created the worm.)
- scanned with NOD32 from SAFEMODE, nothing.
- applied a system restore checkpoint from Monday (20 april 2009), when my computer was OK; nothing. (this might have been a mistake.)
- scanned with a worm removal tool from avast! (though, I think it was out-of-date); nothing.
My NOD32 is up-to-date and it has the Win32/AutoRun.Agent.GR in his database (as I checked it on the internet).
That's all for now. I hope that you have the patience to read all of this and you could help me.
Thanks in advice !
