    I opened some file and now al my mp3's got infected :|
    They changed into mp3.exe with an virus. The problem is that only 2 AVscanners detect it.
    Virustotal results

    ~Online virus scan results removed. Send any samples to the respective antivirus vendors. Ron~

    Can someone help me?

    Have you used all of the available free online scanner programs? Which ones detected it?

    Do you have any unusual processes running in task manager? When you uploaded to virus total what were the names given to the infected file.

    Unusual Tasks:
    { i can't see them because it's blocked}
    Mcafee named it : Trojan.Vbot
    VBA32: Possible variant of o_O? By paranoid heuristics

    But there is another problem.
    The virus changed!
    First: It changed all my mp3s to mp3.exe with the virus (~340KB)
    Today: It changed all my mp3s to mp3.zip with another virus (~214 KB)

    Strange..... I sended the first sample to Dr.Web but i didn't get an answer yet
    UPDATE: The second file of 214 KB is detected by
    Kasperky:
    Found Virus.Win32.Fontra.c

    and by VBA32 (again)
    Found Trojan-Dropper.VB.24 (paranoid heuristics) (probable variant)
    Maybe it also changes tomorrow :(

    Try to uninstall your AV and use Kaspersky trial version... disable SystemRestore, set scan setting to high, in settings, tick "spywares, adwares..." and "riskware", update Kaspersky and scan in SafeMode

    checked it out.. some old skool thing, not sure about how old the signatures are and prob not going to work because it probably hasn't got a good enough disinfection routine... may end up deleting all your *.mp3's... if it even detects it :doubt:

    I tried fixing it now on my way.
    By opening Dtaskmanager and killing the processes and then delete them.
    (That's the brain antivirus :p) I think it worked (i cleaned up a bit in Safe Mode)
    Your Brain Antivirus Detects 100% (lol)

    And here is some information from Sophos on the bot that is more than likely on your computer also:
