Today I got one virus in my system. When I try to login to the Yahoo messenger, it is closing without logging in. I have found a virus (don't know name) and cleaned it manually. I have taken the below steps to remove this virus manually.
- First I have checked in task manager, I didn't find any suspicious processes.
- Next I opened MSConfig (Go to run, and type msconfig). I have found one process with the name amvo.exe under the startup tab. It is located in Windows\System32 folder.
- I unchecked the process, and closed the msconfig window.
- Next I open Registry Editor (go to run, and type regedit). I have searched for "amvo.exe" and found one entry. I have deleted the whole key.
- Next I have tried to set the option to "show hidden files" (Go to Tools> View in windows explorer), as virus file is hidden.
- Then I have browsed to Windows\System32 folder, and deleted amvo.exe, amvo0.dll, amvo1.dll.
- This virus put an Autorun.inf file, and .cmd file in every drive's root. I have removed all those.
