I recently got a worm on my PC called i-worm/luder (was AVG that picked it up). AVG started spamming me with message about how all these random exe files had been corrupted with this worm, and if tried to open any of the exe files it said a message like "Cannot access file,achive or path. Please make sure you have the proper permissions".
I looked online and saw lots of stuff about i-worm/luder.A and although the name wasnt the same, i tried the same methods to fix it but it didnt work. Also tried other antiviruses (online scanners, prolex (something like that) and avast) but they never even picked it up,was only avg.
I managed to get AVG working to scan, luckily it never got to the .exe file that launches that. It detected about 388 corrupted .exe files and put em all in quarintine, and i assumed it was all over
When i got back from the shops earlier, when i got onto the pc i saw a message the same as before saying a random file had been corrupted with i-worm/luder (although it vanished before i could click anything). Once it went away i didnt get any more, and i just done a scan and it found nothing.
A little afraid that this worm is still lurking about my computer. Has anyone had this thing before or know how to ensure its not on the computer? And even know how the hell it gets onto your pc? (i looked but couldnt find much on this one, just the i-worm/luder.A one). Ive never had a virus thats done anything like this before, that actaully stops the pc running properly. Thanks to the guidelines and instructions on these forums, ive always been pretty clear of spy/adware and all that stuff.
If someone knows about this bugger please let me know. Cheers
