Unable to delete suspected malware

[Herbert]

My system is Windows XP Home SP2.
I use Steganos antivirus and Windows firewall. Some time ago on start up Steganos showed in an information panel the message that all threats have been successfully neutralized. The following information is shown in the details of the threats,
detected: malware Exploit.HTML.Agent.j URL: http://85.255.118.43/data/do_z.html
detected: riskware Invader Running process: C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.EXE
detected: riskware Invader Running process: C:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exe

I also use Spybot and Adaware, I've done full scans with all 3 in Safe mode and nothing is detected.
I followed the 15 steps of the preliminary removal instructions without any success - I still have the neutralized threats in Steganos.
AVG Antispyware didn't find anything so no report, neither did Panda Antirootkit.
Can you advise please?
Herbert

All clean mate.

If your system is running ok, then delete the files in Steganos quarantine.


If you have any further virus/spyware problems, please post in this thread.

Unable to delete files

Thanks again. Unfortunately the files don't apper in the quarantine section, only in one that says "detected" and which has the heading "all threats have been treated". I can find only one ot the files in - windows system 32 winlogon.exe but I'm not sure if just deleting it will sort that one out. The system seems to be operating O.K. so perhaps I should just ignore them all.
Sorry to be a nuisance!

If your AV programme says all threats have been treated, then you should trust it`s judgment.

Do not delete the winlogon.exe file, otherwise you`ll probably crash your system.

Don`t worry, you`re not being a nuisance.
