Identifying what to remove/delete

I ran TDS-3 professional and it identified the following:
Positive identification: Worm.Aplore
File: c:\windows\system\explorer.exe

Positive identification: Worm.Aplore
File: c:\windows\system\explorer.exe

RegVal Trace: Acid Shivers/Acid Battery/Acid koR/RAT.RAT: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
File: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run [Explorer=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\EXPLORER.EXE]

RegVal Trace: RAT.Netbus 1.70 (Dropper.Memory): HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
File: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run [SYSTRAY=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\A.EXE My question is should i delete all of these files,and if i do,wouldnt this affect anything on my system? Thank you in advance.

 

Hi Caprizzy,

Welcome to Wilders!!!

I would say you probably have definite bad guys there. The valid explorer.exe should be in your windows directory, not in the windows\system directory. I would do a right click on them in the TDS console and submit them to DCS to be sure though.

HTH....
