Mourning the loss of our friend, WhitPhil.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but they're the easiest to answer.

Unhappy Possible Worm Attack
Hi friends !
I am basically a computer illiterate, Not much into the system, I only know the very basics of the system..& I am so glad I googled to this forum
Please help !!
I think I 've been attacked by a worm(possibly a Win32Heur)
This is what happens to my system when I start it
as soon as I log in
There is an error message pop up which says
'Win32 Application failed'(not exactly, there few other things too in the error report)
& then when I connect, I could use the system for say couple of minutes
& suddenly the entire screen shakes up & the TASKBAR turns yellow.
Now ! I cannot even disconnect myself, even if I click the connection icon, it doesn't pop up.
couple of times before, I have formatted the drive..but it doesn't seem to work, do I need to format the entire computer...I am afraid, that would be a disaster for me !!
The only thing that I could do to get it running again is to shut down the system !which is really very frustrating.
Even the internet explorere stops working.

Also, if I disconnect the net & disable the Local Area connection & reconnect again periodically, I can continue surfing & everything seems good.
I have few winzip Applications that I had downloaded from RaPIDSHARE.COM..I think I was attacked when I tried to set up an application on the system.


Here is the scan report with AVG Anti-Virus

I am sure that someone would help me with this situation,
If you would, also please advise me how can I avoid it in future !!
I don't know what people get by attacking others computers?

Thanks & Regards,
NiCk
