Hi... I downloaded an emule file with an exe and my cpu after an automatic restart began working at 100%. Nod32 stop working, and i tried to install HijackThis, but it says that in a non valid win.32 aplication. What should I doo. Please Help because i have too many documents and information in this pc.

Thanks Tiago

Hi tmp

That sounds like rootkit bagle to me.

Download Combofix from any of the links below. You must rename it before saving it. Save it to your desktop.

Link 2
Link 3





--------------------------------------------------------------------

Double click on Combo-Fix.exe & follow the prompts.
    When finished, it will produce a report for you.
  • Please post the C:\ComboFix.txt along with a HijackThis log so we can continue cleaning the system.


Note:
Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it's running. That may cause it to stall
