Hi everybody,
Either I'm paranoid or I found a indestructable virus.
After all this virus cleaning with Nod32 and AdAware, I end up with
having all the hijacking/spyware symptoms right after every restart.
These two programs cannot delete one (or maybe two) particular dll
becuase it's used by another process. The name may vary but Nod32
reports as 8w32util.dll under Windows\System32. It's hidden, read only
and flagged as system file. I don't have this file on any other
computers so I think it's something I have to delete.
AdAware reports another dll in the same directory with another weird
name. I did manage to rename this one from command prompt, but still
cannot delete.
If I reboot in safe mode and run the cleaners, the result is the same.
If I reboot in safe mode command prompt only, change the HSR
attributes and try to delete with DOS commands, I get the same access
denied error.
When I look at the task manager in safe mode, there are a few
processes and they are all familiar system processes, so I'm wondering
about how this dll is being used. I tried regsvr32 /u to uninstall the
dll, but it didn't work.
Disk is in NTFS so I cannot boot with a DOS disk.
How to get rid of this annoying thing? I hope the virus technology is
not that advanced to spread in kernel level.
p.s. Claria was the only thing I didn't remove becuase the Gator is
used on this computer.
