Reformatting, as suggested by another, is NOT the answer.\n\nAvast is a legitimate antivirus program from http://www.avast.com/index.html   It's not spyware.\n\nDo you have another antivirus program installed?  If not, you'd be best to use Avast, and let it run.\n\nYou say that "of course it's not available yet" - what do you mean?  Avast has several versions of security software available at the link shown above, so I'm pretty sure that it's "available".\n\nIf you -really- don't want to use Avast, just use the Start/Set Program Access and Defaults/Change or Remove Programs feature to uninstall it.

That is a spyware that will generate random pop-ups on your desktop.\n\nI would suggest running spybot if you have found that on your system.

The file is a virus. You don't want to restore it.\n\nThe reason you're getting a popup is because your PC is trying to run the virus but it can't because the file was moved to quaranteen.\n\nWhat you want to do is find out where the command is that is telling your PC to run this file and remove it so it doesn't try anymore. A common place a virus would put this is in the system registry. You could run the registry editor "regedit" (START - RUN - REGEDIT) and then do a search in there (EDIT - FIND) for "ibm.00003.exe" and remove any references to it. When it finds it - right-click and delete (the line on the right not the folder it's under) - then hit F3 to make it continue to search from where you left off. \n\nNormally viruses put themselves under this registry key if you want to browse to it manually.\n\nHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/WINDOWS/CURRENT VERSION/\n\nAnd then check under all the folders that start with "RUN". Be careful in the registry though. NEVER delete anything if you don't know what you're doing. If you delete the wrong stuff your PC could stop working completely and require a reload of Windows.\n\nIf you have Windows XP another way to do this would be to run MSCONFIG (START - RUN - MSCONFIG). Then go to the STARTUP tab and look through the stuff in there for a reference to it. If you find anything uncheck it. This tab shows everything that loads when your PC boots - you may even want to uncheck some other things if you know what they are and do not want them to run. Doing that can speed up your PC, but do not disable things you're unsure of since that could cause something else to not work. The good thing is you can just go back and check the item off again if you feel you made a mistake.\n\nGood luck.

Norton Antivirus is not a free program. It's not really the best virus scanner either. You might want to try AVG, Avast!, or Active Virus Shield. \nhttp://www.activevirusshield.com/antivirus/freeav/index.adp\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/2/lng/us/tpl/v5\nhttp://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html

go to http://safety.live.com and run a Full Service Scan. Once ur done with the scan, all u need to do is click Next, Next, and it will automatically remove the trojans from ur computer. For future, download Windows Defender from www.microsoft.com and use AVG antivirus software instead of Avast. www.grisoft.com\nAlso, click on Start, go to Control Panel, click on Automatic Updates and Switch ON automatic updates. Rest wil be taken care of automatically;)

It is a virus.  Do you have spy sweeper or something similar?  You need to find out what it is then on another computer download the fix onto a cd...sounds like one that I had once.  Microsoft has the fix for it.  Good luck

I also have 6 processes of "svchost.exe" running on my computer. Apparently it's something that's supposed to be running. I wouldn't worry about it, but you could try running an anti-virus program if it really bothers you.\n\nI use AVG Free and it works really well. You can get it from http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2 if you don't already have an anti-virus program on your computer.

The only sure way to get rid of it is to format the hard drive and reinstall windows. The people that allow your PC to be infected with this stuff get better and craftier every day with methods for circumventing anti-virus and spyware protection. Its a never-ending battle. You are better off just formatting the hard drive every couple of months and you will never have the problem again.

This is not a virus, it is spyware. Virus scanners do not target this. Follow these steps:\n\nDownload and Install.\nhttp://www.majorgeeks.com/HijackThis_d3155.html\n\nCopy and paste your log to:\nhttp://www.hijackthis.de/index.php?langselect=english\nClick ANALYZE\n\nLook for NASTIES and delete from HiJackThis\n-------------------\nDownload Ewido, http://www.ewido.net/en/download/ , install, open program, check for updates, restart computer, press F8 before windows logo appears, select safe mode, open Ewido, run full system scan. let Ewido delete all it finds.\n\n-------------------\nAlso download Windows Defender Beta from http://www.microsoft.com/ - top stuff!
