Hi TeeS,

If AVG has recognised it, it should have been able to delete it??

This virus is a year old, and to be honest I thought I'd seen the last of it. It seems strange that it resides as TFTP2024, as that is usually an indication of the Spybot virus.

I do notice that you haven't got SP1 for either IE or XP, so your machine is in severe need of some Windows updates.

I'll assume that it is Lovsan for now, so the first thing you need to do is to download the Fixblast tool. Next, switch off system restore, close all programs and run fixblast.

Reboot and set a new restore point. See here for info.

Once done, you need to go here and download the security patch. It'll be in one of the cumulative patches in the next bit of info now, but I'd get it anyway.

Then it's vital that you go here, click Scan for updates in the main frame, and download and install all CRITICAL updates recommended. If you're on dial-up, then it'll take a while (SP1 for XP alone is around 4 hours at 56K) so I'd do it overnight, or when you're at work. Check also, to see whether you have to download any separately, as is the case with SP1 for XP.

Then reboot a couple of times and let me know if you still have any reports coming up.

Cheers

Liam
