Hi all
Been having a problem with what I think might be a virus/worm. This only happens when I log into IE5 No problems when using Fire Fox…………
After clicking the ‘sign in’ on IE5 Avast warning page appears “Virus was found” with the following info…
File Name:
http://64.28.188.42/wpad.dat(DO NOT CLICK)
Malware Name: Malware-Gen
Type: Virus/worm
Having selected ‘abort connection’ on the Avast window IE then logs me on. After the opening page appears Avast kicks in again, as above info except the File Name of the offending item is now...
C\documents and setting\owner\local settings\temporary internet files\content IE5\
wnudq9uf\wpad[1].htm
Selecting Avast choices ‘Move to Chest’ does in fact move this file to the chest.
“ “ “ ‘Delete’ seems to work?
“ “ “ ‘ Repair’ Seems not able to do.
Selecting, move to chest/delete then allows me to carry on surfing with IE5 When I log off and go to Fire Fox no probs. But if I go back to IE and log in Avast then kicks in again with the above warnings. I’ve run Avast and spybot but they don’t pick up anything. Have even shredded my ‘temp internet files’ to no avail.
Have even searched the url seems a normal company on the net. Most strange, any help much appreciated.
