    Unknown Virus

    I have had this virus for months now and i just cant seem to get rid of it.. at first i thought it was the downloader.mscache because norton found it for about 20 days in a row a couple months ago but could never delete it.. it doesnt show up on my scan now ever but something is definitly wrong! i've tried the symantic page but those instructions didnt work, so im thinking it isnt that virus. This is what it does...

    Everytime i get online it opens dozens of .exe files (i can tell because my internet security alerts me every time) but they have random names, although they are repetitive.. examples are: iz7i3.exe, ry6.exe and so forth.. when i hit control alt delete and check my processes it shows usually 20-30 of these running and they make my computer use 100% of its usuage.. im dumbfounded.. i've used every spyware cleaner i could find, i have norton check daily, i tried "the cleaner", cwshredder and more.. does anyone know what is wrong with my computer!?

    i have xp2002 on a gateway.. 2.40ghz.. 512gb ram.. pentium 4.. and internet explorer

    Download SwatIt http://swatit.org/ and then update it. Boot into 'Safe Mode' (press F8 repeatedly while bios screen is loading at setup) and run SwatIt from there. Reboot into normal mode and navigate to Trend Micro Systems 'Housecall' http://housecall.trendmicro.com/hous...start_corp.asp and then run that.

    Let us know your results.

    I did both, the first did nothing.. the housecall found 4 virus' all trojans.. it said they couldnt be cleaned so i hit the delete button without thinking to write down the information.. all of them were "deleted" (with system restore off) however when i restarted and got on the internet again the same thing happened.. do you want me to run housecall again and write down the names?

    BEWARE! The return of an old, malicious virus. THE HERPES VIRUS! It attaches itself to your tools, and you cannot get rid of it! Infection is caused by sticking your hardware into an infected slot. BEWARE!

    Probably one of the only circumstances that you'd use a trojan to help prevent you from getting a virus?
    Quitmzilla is a firefox extension that gives you stats on how long you have quit smoking, how much money you\'ve saved, how much you haven\'t smoked and recent milestones. Very helpful for people who quit smoking and used to smoke at their computers... Helps out with the urges.

    If I am reading this right, it only happens when you connect to the Internet, right? Under normal operations (not connected) nothing happens? If this is true, it sounds as though your browser has been hijacked. Have you tried Hijackthis, it might be worth a try. And the names of the Trojans you deleted via housecall might be helpful too.

    Well at a first look, these look rather odd:

    C:\WINNT\System32\lxp2zwl.exe
    C:\WINNT\System32\iz17i3.exe
    C:\WINNT\System32\iz17i3.exe
    C:\WINNT\System32\iz17i3.exe
    C:\WINNT\System32\lxp2zwl.exe
    C:\WINNT\System32\iz17i3.exe
    C:\WINNT\System32\wuauclt.exe

    C:\WINNT\System32\lxp2zwl.exe
    C:\WINNT\System32\lxp2zwl.exe
    C:\WINNT\System32\lxp2zwl.exe
    C:\WINNT\System32\lxp2zwl.exe
    C:\WINNT\System32\lxp2zwl.exe

    Now, don't go ahead and delete these yet, I am looking for conformation from some of the other members here. So gang, do these look like they belong to you?
