Thanks, I installed the Gmer software and ran it and it gave
a screen with 3 lines, though not in red. I no longer have
these (see below).
I downloaded and installed the MULTI_AV software into the
C:\AV_CLS as instructed and this subsequently gave the
coloured DOS-type window with the four sites.
The first one downloaded OK, but the second one, after a
while induced Windows error screens saying "Windows Files
are being replaced with other similar ones" and then the
MULTI_AV software froze up, and I then rebooted the
computer.
On startup the reboot stopped at a black-screen stage and
gave the error message "NTLDR not found" and so I was
locked out.
I then went to a Ghost12 backup and rebooted from the Ghost
disk and recovered the C Drive (only) of 12 April 09. All
my other partitions seem OK. But I seem to have lost all
the results of the Gmer software and any fragments of the
MULTI_AV.
The TCPView software shows the virus has disappeared too,
though this may be too soon to tell.
Perhaps this has fixed the virus?
How can I stop it coming back; this morning when it was
there there were about 200 sites being fed from my computer.
Regards, Frank
