Hi, This forum has been so helpful in the past that I thought I would see if anyone had any ideas about the following. I have followed many steps to try to sort this computer out but, including hijackthis etc but these Viruses still seem to keep popping up (McAfee VirusScan) 22/10/2007 12:48:49 Deleted C:\qoobox\Quarantine\C\WINDOWS\system32\bmopbehj.dll.vir Vundo 22/10/2007 12:48:58 Deleted C:\qoobox\Quarantine\C\WINDOWS\system32\dgxsifpy.dll.vir Vundo 22/10/2007 12:49:08 Deleted C:\qoobox\Quarantine\C\WINDOWS\system32\tcyxtpot.dll.vir Vundo 22/10/2007 12:49:10 Moved (Clean failed because the file isn't cleanable) PC003\broker C:\QUARANTINE\A0033203.exe.Vir New Malware.ee Does the fact they have been identified/removed mean that the computer is now clean or is there likely to be an underlying problem which will allow them to keep coming back!? Many thanks!
1.Clean your registry! Two free apps to do this are Spybot Search and Destroy and Ccleaner. 2.Post a frsh HJT log after gutting the registry and I will take a look at it
Hi CovMan, The first 3 messages look to me like they are files that have already been quarantined by a cleaning program called qoobox. I think you could delete that entire quarantine folder and eliminate alarms from that source. If you are currently using it for cleaning, it would probably be best to remove all the qoobox files and then download the most current version at a later time if you need it again. The last one I am not sure about, it is in a quarantine folder but I am not sure if it is one created by your earlier cleaning efforts or a subsequent problem. You could try deleting the contents of that quarantine folder and then see if McAfee continues to give you warning messages.
Thank you both for the advice!
