From Avast:

Type Virus
Aliases Win32/Virut, W32/Virut, Win32.Virtob,
W32/Splendor, Win32.Cheburgen
Platform Windows
Infection size various
Description
Virut is a polymorphic file infector with some additional features. It spreads all around the drive and infects even files infected by another virus previously. The only symptoms are a strange HDD activity while infecting, and also unwanted TCP traffic. Virut tries to connect you into an IRC network under the user name "Virtu" and zombify you. Unfortunately, the cleaning of this virus is very difficult or almost impossible.

Because of this ominous description, I suggest you first let your AV program quarantine the virus.

Then proceed to the Steps HERE to assist with Virus and Malware Removal.

Hi divapopo

Do the TechSpot 8 steps: https://www.techspot.com/community/...lware-removal-preliminary-instructions.58138/

Skip no steps (do not install another virus scanner if you already have one, nor install a firewall at all for now).

Most importantly update MalwareBytes and SuperAntiSptware!

Before you scan with SuperAntiSpyWare do the below:

SuperAntispyware extra config

After installed double-click the icon on your desktop to run it.

Update the program definitions.

Click the Preferences button.

Then Scanning Control.

In Scanner Options make sure all boxes are checked except #3 Ignore System Restore.. are checked:

MalwareBytes extra config

After update but before running
Click settings and confirm all are Checked.

I repeat Update these 2 programs.

Run them and attach their logs.

Run SAS UPDATE it click Preferences-Statistics/Logs, attach all logs back.

Up to you! Your ball!
