Quick help needed, I do not know where to search for help... so I try my luck here. hopefully lowyat forum members can lend me a hand.

My system is infected with virus/trojan. I am not able to double click on my local drives, instead, I have to right click and choose "open". Everytime I double click on any of my local drives, my antivirus will show *print screen provided*. Is this trojan or virus? Sometimes it uses up all my system resources.. makes my system very unresponsive.

I used AVG, BitDefender 10, Lavasoft Ad-Adware, RegistryFix, even System Mechanic pro to check my system... but all of them showing no sign of problem at all. Yet, I am still have problem accessing those drives.

Reformat? Only reformatted 1 partition, which is the OS drive. I hope to keep my animes and mp3.. it's up to 500gb worth of data. I am not able to backup all of them. The problem still persist. Reformatting everything is the last resort.

extra info:
I have 3 hard drives in my cpu. total 8 partitions drives. I've copied some anime from friend, and problem started to show up.

anything else I can do beside reformat all my 3 drives?

delete "autorun.inf" on every diskdrive of yours... check your pendrives as well

Added on March 5, 2007, 1:23 amoh, before you delete, please check what's written inside "autorun.inf"... it may contains info on the trojan you suffer from...

you copy the anime suing what device?

i think maybe your comp kena jangkit from your friends comp..

since you have more than one AV, do you update them?
maybe the AVs have conflict

UPDATE:

Guys, I found that virus/trojan!! I was backing up my data and I found "autorun.inf" and "pet.exe" in each of the drives *picture provided*. I delete it by pressing "del".. it restored back immediately. I did this from the Nero Burning window mode. What I mean is, when you burn data, you have to choose location and select particular file to burn, right? I found the trojan from that window. But when I access it through My Computer, nothing found. I have enabled hidden files.

Is there any other way I can access the "autorun.inf" ? What should I do next?

Try to find that pet32.exe now.

That only works with flashdrives right? All my flash drives have been disinfected.

Added on March 5, 2007, 7:47 pmDouble clicked and Logoff/Logon... followed exact instruction. Nothing worked. Pet32.exe still exist, it restored back automatically everytime I delete it I am able to get rid of autorun.inf by creating another "autorun.inf" folder in the each of the root drives though.. but I still cannot access all the local drives.

not really... i faced the same problem as you are a few months ago. cannot open hard disc drives by double-clicking,but can open by right-click open. i use the flash disinfector and it manage to solve the problem.

that's weird. I double checked my flash drives (which has been disinfected). The PET32.EXE and autorun.inf still exist...

another victim added into list.. my girlfriend. she plug her flash drive into my system...I've forgotten to tell her :S Now her laptop also got infected.

There should be a rootkit or backdoor in your computer I shall assume. Now,

Download ComboScan to your Desktop.

1. Close all applications and windows.
2. Double-click on comboscan.exe to run it, and follow the prompts.
3. When the scan is complete, a text file will open - ComboScan.txt
4. Copy (Ctrl+A then Ctrl+C) and paste (Ctrl+V) the contents of ComboScan.txt in your thread in the HijackThis Log Help Forum.
5. A folder, C:\ComboScan, will also open. In it will be another text file, Supplementary.txt.
6. Please attach Supplementary.txt to your post.

Please send me a copy of pet.exe and the autorun.inf. zulfajunadi@gmail.com. I'll try to help what i can.

thanks in advance
