    trojan Win32/Zapchast found in operating memory. The file can be deleted. It is strongly recommended that you back up any crucial data before you proceed. No action can be taken while the file is in memory. Click "Leave" to continue and subsequently run the cleaning of all local disks. System memory infection originated from file C:\WINDOWS\system32\wintxs32.dll.

    i only found an option of Leave, and nothing else.

    Could you please check your settings against those found HERE

    Then run a scan by clicking on the NOD32 Control Centre> NOD32> Run NOD32> Scan and Clean.

    If you had set your system as per the Tutorial it would not have asked, it would have attempted a clean, failing this it would have deleted and quarantined the infection automatically.

    If you run a further scan, does it now come up clean?

    With those settings your scan will NOT ask anything, or are you talking about a warning when the infected file arrived, in such a case you would need to check your AMON and IMON settings and change from the default, to clean, delete, quarantine.

    Cheers :D

    Hasit, if the file is still there, try running the NOD32 on-demand scan from Safe Mode.

    Hasit , Blackspear was telling you that if you follow his tutorial , NOD32 will not ask the user for action but will first attempt to clean and if not possible will delete it.

    If NOD32 is by default , it will pop-up and ask if a threat is found in Scan&Clean mode

    I'll second alglove .It is better to do the following:

    Make sure your NOD32 is updated.

    Then (if you still haven't) , go through BS's tutorial
    https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=37509

    Then , as shown here , boot in Safe Mode and scan . Safe Mode is a special Windows mode where several things are loaded and most of the viruses/spywares can't load in that mode . When so , AV softwares can easily kill the viruses :)


    Boot to Safe Mode by pressing F8 while your Windows is starting before the Windows logo appears and choose Safe Mode . Goto Start->Programs->ESET->NOD32
    Goto the Profiles tab and make sure you use Control Center Profile
    When so , make sure your set NOD32 to scan all your hard drives and push Scan&Clean

    NOD32 will automatically take care of everything ;)

    After the malware is eliminated , make sure you also turn off System Restore in Windows XP because it could also keeps tracks of the malware and you don't want to restore to that point . Right click My Computer->Properties->System Restore-> Check Turn off... and press Apply . Then Uncheck Turn off... to turn it back ON

    Restart
    You can provide your computer with second opinion with Ad-Aware se Personal http://www.lavasoftusa.com

    After this , you computer should be clean ! :thumb:

    "trojan Win32/Zapchast found in operating memory"

    this is a trojan, i think i dont need to go in safe mode for that, and after i ran the scan&clean it is not prompting me for that error again.

    now i see that file is being deleted, you think thats OK and now the virus is removed?

    Try rebooting, then run the scan again, just to be sure. If the file does not come back, then the virus has been removed. :)
