Zip and Rar files created by worm or virus... I just encountered the same problem. I uninstalled the Limewire program (after running Norton Antivirus, Spybot and other adware programs to no avail). I reinstalled a new downloaded Limewire (which happens to be a newer version) and renamed and placed the "shared" file on a different drive. Now, the first time I used Limewire, I have a pop-up with the virus infected program looking at me in a "rar" box. It's just waiting for me to execute it again. It also renamed itself....
I am including a screen shot of the program. I have scanned it for viruses, worms and/or adware by itself and it does not show any problems.
I am now at a loss in finding the remnants and know that absolutely it will show it's ugly head again!! If anyone has further help, it would be greatly appreciated.
I have XP on one drive and Vista on the other... Pentium IN9-32X-Max, Abit m/b w/2 GB OCZ Ram, Nvidia 8600 GT G/C, Creative XF-1 S/C, 7.1 Speaker System and Thermaltake 470W P/S... If you need more info, it will be provided...
Thank you very much for any forthcoming help or advise...
Sign me... Nailed again in Ky...
