hi!
this is a weird virus encounter (first time ever!)
i accidentally removed my avira antivirus when i was uninstalling some programs in my win xp pro pc, leaving it off guard. by coincidence, my brother inserted a usb flash, then after checking my pc again, i found out that there are five (5) files appearing whenever i open folders. they keep on appearing on any folder that i open. they have icons of a winrar (filename is back-up), a windows folder (filename is don’t delete), a music file, a text file, and an xls file. i think these are worms? they seem to be so, but the computer recognizes them as applications. moreover, i cannot install ANY program anymore! i tried to download an avast home from another computer into my usb and tried to scan my computer, but it keeps on exiting the program.
what should i do? any info? i don’t want to reformat my computer! help me please?!
Regards,
Lester.
