    Win32/NS Anti and Autorun.inf Attack,need information
    :) Hi you all...


    :confused: I'v been facing lots of virus problems especially from these two Win32/NS Anti, d.com and Autorun. The antivirus software that I am using is AVG 7.5 and though it picks them up and says that they're healed but they appear again and again. I've search for answers and looked them up but it doesn't hurt to read more or get more tips.

    I really want to know how to remove them completely and also keep my computer safe at the same time. Could you help me in telling me how to remove them, what anti-virus I could download (from the information I've got, they suggested spyware doctor and gpedit.msc (start->run) which is helpful but I can not run gpedit and also, I am not comfort able with spyware meaning I have never used it.
    Is there any other way...

    I am sorry, I think I gave you a mouthful there...

    Thank you and please do help me and my computer...

    Ta!! :)

    I'm not making sense of the autorun thing as that's a file normally reserved for CDs to load programs from. AVG have released 8.0 which I would suggest going to, check there site for 7.5 updates and it should show up.
    Have you tried booting into Safe Mode (press either F8 or F12 during boot) and then running a scan with AVG and doing the heal. Some stuff can only be removed whilst in Safe Mode.
    Symantec have great information on specific viruses, even if you don't use their product they list removal techniques etc for each one.
    Enjoy..

    Oh, on the spyware software issue, Ad-Aware 2007 is a great free tool that's pretty good. Check CNet.com and click on downloads tab, most downloaded software comes up on a list on the right. The top two are AVG free and Ad-Aware 2007.
