hi,
i am jai and i have been experiencing a strange problem.I got a new antivirus , NOD and it cleaned lot of viruses last week, two days later i found that i cannot see my hidden files even if i am going to tools>folderoptions> show hidden files. i click this radio button and i go back and see it is not clicked. no hidden files become visible.

i am the administrator, so i think the issue is not about rights.

could some one suggest?

Howard,

followed your steps to solve the problem.

here are some issues:
in step 8: ad aware refused to update bcos,and it said the server was busy for close to a hour.
in step 10: tool 1, that is, SmitfraudFix, did not run and the system said it can read the file.

in step 12: combo fix reported the same problem as smitfraud fix, it did not run and the system said it can read the file.

i have two new issues now:

1. my c and d drive are not opening if i double click, i have to right click and explore.
2. any folder, if i double click opens into a search page and does not open the folder.
3. the righclick menu of the c and d drive has some strange illegible scripts as the first and second in line of options. then come explore, open and the rest.

i am worried! please suggest should i reformat!

i am attachin the following:

Hi,

I noticed that your AVG log displays 'No Action Taken' for all the files detected.
I require you to run AVG again and quarantine the files. Pictorial instructions HERE.

Run AVG antirootkit again and fix both of the entries.

Then try downloading ComboFix from the link in my signature and running it again to see if it works.


Regards,
Your friendly momok =)
