Havent had a virus/malware in over 3 years until now.
Try Kaspersky TDSS killer first
BUT- I may have found something (XPSP3)
Look in these places:
C:Documents and Settings%USER%Local SettingsApplication DataHelpGoogle
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun]
"Google"="rundll32.exe "C:Documents and Settings%user%Local SettingsApplication DataHelpGooglelxexf.dll",DllRegisterServer"
"Googling" "lxexf.dll" came up with nothing legitimate, avtually that file name really wasny on the search engine at all.
After removing the registry key (after saving key to .reg file first) and renaming the dll in the helpgoogle directory (was named lxexf.dll on my system) to lxexf.bak after I restarted helpgoogle directory was GONE, my computer was no longer sluggish, I am no longer redirected on google at all, and when restarting I no longer got "This program is not responding: rundll32" messages. There was another dll in directory called "MPEG Demuxer" or something, it was gone too. Typical virus behavior when cornered.
Either I nabbed it or it is lurking somewhere waiting to repopulate.
How my laptop will get rid of same viruses???
