HELP! I think I have a virus

[ales]

and I have no idea how to remove it. Please advise.

Symptoms: when I start the pc it tries to send all my inbox emails somewhere.

After scanning with McAfee, here's what I know:
winrpc exe (virus W32/Lovgate.f@M)
windriver.exe
netservices.exe
ravmond.exe
ily668.dll
reg678.dll
Task688.dll
kernel66.dll
111.dll
as well as iexplere.exe and some others.

McAfee doesn't seem to be able to clean the computer, and I have no idea what to do. I have no idea how harmful this is or what it does or, most importantly, what to do with it. I would really appreciate some help here.

ok ales your computer is screwed. The cahnces of getting rid of it are slim to none. it infected too many files including some kernell files.


also it sounds like it tries to send itself to everyone you have on the mail list-- aka all your friends. do not connect anymore to the internet till you solve the problem since some of those vurises can send themselves having a bult in smtp mail engine and all your frineds can get it.

so format the HD also use fdisk to clear your boot sector and the format and reinstall the system.


also tell your friends that you had on your mail list to be suspiscious of all your recent emails.

Yeh well i think i have a solution to your problem. A few months ago during x-mas time i got this virus from a stupid screensaver, to my knowledge this virus isn't particularlydangerous as it is annoying when it sends itself to everyone in your outlook adress book. I found this program from McAfee that completely rid your computer of the W32 viruses. Lemme know if this Helps you out.

Well, Norton antivirus seems to have taken care of it, but 'm also using Stinger as I type. Thanks!
