Might have part of the answer posted previously here ??

http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic56506.html

Above is a thread i came accross when browsing for my PC problem. It sounds exactly the same.

I assume i can almost follw the same rules as this thread. But if you woudl be so kind as to look over this and advise accordingly incase anythign is seperate.

This seemed to come about when i tried limeware, morpheous and bearshare. I did not even use the prgrammes as i noticed this change and uninstalled straight away. However somethign still very present. All the above came from the official site.

Did it arrise from any of these perhaps?

Thank you very much.

PC one (first infected)

PC2.

The HJT log is clean. However, you`re not running any antivirus or firewall programmes. You should get some asap.

Follow the above instructions for running Ewido.

Thanks Howard. I will indeed be going through this tonight.

I will get AVG on there, a very bad oversight. Firewall is provided by my router.

But i am concerned about the same .exe and .inf files in every shared folder on the other PC, any other ideas?

Cheers....Q

Have you got the hide protected system files turned off? If you have, just reverse the procedure in these instructions.

In Windows Explorer, turn on "Show all files and folders, including hidden and system". See how here.> http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial62.html

Howard Thanks.
