I am on a roll with various infections: Nod32 gave me this info: 1) VBS/Psyme.W.Gen.trojan (file was datBOAO.temp) 2) Win32/Small.I.trojan (file was msmc.exe) 3) Win32/Collector A unknown infection type (virtool) (file was active security.ocx) Tonight I happenend to see a few infected files that Nod32 and I deleted yesterday, all in Windows/system folder 1) p-1255c.exe 2) etcpln.exe 3) launcher.exe Nod32 identified all these as.. unknown but probably NewHeur-PE virus. Nod32 did not detect them when I restarted today but did when I used on demand scan. I was surfing when i got this infection from a web page and the infection tried to create new start ups including a new WinMedia Player and etcpln.exe. I use Mike Lin's "StartUp Monitor" which instzntly notified me of new startups which I denied. I ran RegRun and deleted, for the second time, etcpln.exe from start up. Nod32 couldn't delete "launcher.exe" so I renamed it then deleted it. I looked around for descriptions of these files at Eset and another A.V. site but could not find the exact names as I have them. I have tried to run TDS-3 three separate times but it freezes and or locks up with "not responding" and I have to go to "control-alt-delete" and end it from there. Unusual as TDS3 has never responded like this before. My OS is Win98SE. I have not investigated my registry. Any ideas or sugggestions on what NewHeur-PE virus is and how it reappeared after restaring today? thank you.
NewHeur-PE is the name NOD gives an unknown virus discovered using heuristics. Launcher.exe is an adware problem. INFO Looks like you have a lot of "stuff" on your computer. You could post a hijack log to start. READ You do have to register to post a log.
