Virus Removal



Was bothered by a virus that I could not seem to eradicate with avast! free antivirus. I am not linking to it because it is not good! I switched to ClamWin antivirus and found the following:


C:\WINDOWS\system32\e1.dll: Worm.Stration.XL-6 FOUND
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ipv6rasm.dll: Worm.Stration.XL-5 FOUND
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ipv6rasm.exe: Worm.Stration.XL-4 FOUND
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ssdprasa.dll: Worm.Stration.XL-2 FOUND
C:\WINDOWS\system32\tlntqedw.dll: Worm.Stration.XL-1 FOUND
C:\WINDOWS\system32\vdieasyc.exe: Worm.Stration.XL FOUND


Try as I might, I could not remove the files, until I found Unlocker from The Free Country.

ClamWin is not a on-access/realtime scanner. Combining it with WinPooch makes it so. There is reportedly a Firefox extension to do the same thing.

Here are some more links:
