Good luck mate

If you don't want to format your computer.

I would take the following steps.

- Download and Install/Update and run a complete scan with NOD32 Anti-Virus (www.eset.com) NOT FREE they do have V4, which is beta.

- Download and Install/Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

- Download and Install and then run a complete scan SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition.

if you know the file that is being attached to your email. You can submit it to www.virustotal.com. VirusTotal has 30+ some anti-virus software that scan the file to determine if its some kind of malware. You might be able to find a remover on-line.

P.S. Avast is a great Anti-Virus Product although, from my understanding there are kind of slow with new virus.

P.S.S The best way to make sure your computer is FREE of malware is to completely format your computer.

Ok. Yrag test came up empty.  Thanks Yrag for the help. I will keep it for the future to use.

Next Hijack This.

I will also add that my incomming email has slowed down with the system mail delivery. Maybe  my computer is safe and it just take a while for all the mail errors to go thrue with mail system.

I agree, but Spybot S&D is the way to go as for the other.

Yeah, I should have also included SpyBot S&D. If one of them miss the others hopefully get it.

You could try downloading hijack this and looking for suspicious crap and booting in safe mode to delete them.

Found Nothing

Ran the scan and seems way over my head.

Yrag sent me one more thing test and testing as i write this. He also says if the last scan i did did not find anything then more than likely there is nothing active in my computer.  I almost believe it because thing has slowed down a lot.

I also want everyone to know that i did two thing when virus got in.

1 -  I Bought a wireless printer/scanner/fax/photo/copier from hp.  so i had to install soft wear for it.

2 -  I did a search on goggle for Quest helper for World of Warcraft add-on. all i did was clicked on the search text and it seemed like something was suspicious. I want to let you know that i did no download. just clicked on search page to take me to quest helper web page.

Not sure which one i did first.

when i did a boot scan with Avast it did find a virus and it was in a hp connection.

This is what lead to this virus i got.

Update-

TrojanHunter is about half done but it did find a virus.

C:\programs\HP|Digital Imaging\{20B3 bunch of #}setup\hpzshl01.exe(Adware.Vapsup.290)

I hope this is it.

So, the HP drivers were infected?

Somebody better tell them!

Don, I neglected to tell you about one of the best and first programs I use in the case of any virus, and it is free. Download RemoveitPro and run it, delete anything it finds. I swear by this app.

Locates & Removes many new dangerous files including Spyware, Malware, Virus, Worms, Trojan's and Adware that other popular AV programs do not find.

The HP file that is "infected" could be a false postive. I would submit that to Virus Total.

Ok.  Jim

I did a quick scan and it found this.

I have been infected with virus (Win32.Unknown.Random.X)  

Its funny that all other scans have not found this.  It is in my startup folder under Power Reg Schedule V3

Not sure Jim if i should delete it. or if the soft wear will clean it. Since you use it. let me know what you do.

Delete the sucker. Anytime theres Unknown or noName in the name, which I am sure you saw in HiJack this, delete it. If it has no name, it ain't good.

As for it being funny that the other scans missed it, remember my post:   Locates & Removes many new dangerous files including Spyware, Malware, Virus, Worms, Trojan's and Adware that other popular AV programs do not find
