A new virus or just a title

[univers63]

Hello,

I've logged on to my computer and find that there are two strange boxes flying around my desktop, entitled "Thayet Myo Hacking Day!". I can't also open up task manager, and all my desktop icons became red. Is it a virus? I have ESet Smart Security v3.0.684 on my Pc. So please help me to solve this problem

Thanks for your helps

It sounds like a simple VB script changed certain registry entries. A log from SysInspector (ESI) would shed more details. Please contact customer care and provide them with the log from ESI.

No, i think this one appeared first time in Nobember 2008. Its a Trojan and a very nasty one.
AV which are up to date should be able to remove it.

If not:
Do the following steps with causion (backup registry or make image of partition 'C')

! NOT TESTED!

Also following was reported when trying to boot in to Windows Safe mode:

Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
<Windows root>\system32\hal.dll
Please re-install a copy of the above file.

So please read this first:

Possibility to remove the Trojan:
Start the system in SAFE mood.
Delete the explorer.exe files in C:\RECYCLER, c:\Windows\Backup and C:\.

Open the Regedit and delete explorer.exe in hkey_local_machine/software/microsoft/windows/current version/run (or) hkey_current_user/software/microsoft/windows/current version/run.

You also need to uninstall the programs if the shortcut to that programs appear as archive icon.

If you locate a new suspicious file you will want to follow these steps but as Marcos recommend I suggest you create a log using ESET SysInspector and email it to support("at")eset[dot]com.

Remember to include as much detail as possible in your email.
