One of our computers has got this virus 'Hacked by VJ' which appears
in the title bar of IE. There is very little information about this virus on
the net and the antivirus program did not detect it.
Referrences to it were deleted in the registry but didn't work, this
thing is active on boot up and simply rewrites itself back into the
registry.
I do not know how harmful it is, I suspect probably not very
harmful. From what I have found out it is transmitted from computer to
computer mainly through USB flashdrives, though this is not confirmed.
OS is XP pro with all updates

You are coming to conclusion that is NOT backed up by any facts. Even if
"Hacked by VJ" in
the titlebar was caused by malware, I truly doubt that a viryus has caused it.


For non-viral malware...

Please download, install and update the following software...

* Ad-aware SE 2007
http://www.lavasoft.de/
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
http://www.lavasoft.de/ms/index.htm

* SpyBot Search and Destroy v1.4
http://security.kolla.de/
http://www.safer-networking.org/microsoft.en.html

* SuperAntiSpyware
http://www.superantispyware.com/superantispywarefreevspro.html

After the software is updated, I suggest scanning the system in Safe Mode.

I also suggest downloading, installing and updating BHODemon for any Browser
Helper Objects
that may be on the PC.

* BHODemon

For viral malware...

* Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp

To use this utility, perform the following...
Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go
through your
FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files.

C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}
This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal
Mode.
This way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor's web site.
The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Kaspersky, Exit this menu and Reboot the
PC.

You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you
can
download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded
the files
needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode
[F8 key
during boot] and re-run the menu again and choose which scanner you want to run
in Safe
Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode.

When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive
PDF help
file. http://www.ik-cs.com/multi-av.htm

* * * Please report back your results * * *

Thanks for your input Dave. I will do as suggested and report back.
In the meantime the file MS32DLL.dll.vbs has been located on the computer
which seems to suggest a trojan. From what little knowledge that the 'net
has given up, it can stop access to disc drives by double clicking but not
using the 'explore' option and can also prevent users accessing the registry
(regedit command). At this stage there is one physical hard drive we can not
access but that may be caused by another problem.

Yes, "MS32DLL.dll.vbs" is a Trojan --
