AboutLorry Expertise I can answer most questions regarding viruses/Trojans and help to remove them.
Experience This happens to be of interest to me as it boggles my mind that people have nothing better to do than to write a virus. Wish these people, the ones who write viruses would put the knowledge to good use instead. My job as a local tech involves removing viruses and/or spyware.
Question HI. im using Kaspersky internet security 2009. A virus (worm32.win32.Autrun.ekv) is creating nuisance in my pc. Though kaspersky detect this virus every second day but its not getting completely erased and thus creating problems. Im not able to open directly any of my drives coz i guess autorn is being corrupted and i dont know how to fix it.
And is kaspersky internet security good enough for my pc?
Answer Hi Anubhav,
Even though you have Kaspersky Internet Security installed, using Internet Explorer, go to:
Click the GO button, then under Virus Detection, click Start. You might be told that you need to download and install ActiveX Controls for the scan to work, answer Yes.
Write down exactly anything it finds, then go to: http://www.symantec.com/search/ and do a search for what was found. Symantec usually has a removal tool and/or directions for removing manually. Make sure that you follow the instructions for removal, step by step, especially the part regarding disabling System Restore.
Reason being is that each anti-virus programs usually have different names for the same virus or threat.
Kaspersky Internet Security is a good program but like any other security program it must be kept up to date and run a virus scan at least once a week.
When you let Kaspersky Internet Security remove the virus, are you disabling System Restore first? If not, the next time you start the computer the virus/threat will be back again.
