Hi,
the results from jotti tell me, that you really hit the jackpot.

Sorry.

Your system is infected with a nasty variant of
Virut, a polymorphic
file infector with
IRCBot functionality which
infects .exe, .scr files, downloads more malicious files to your system, and
opens a back door that
compromises your computer. According to this
Norman White Paper Assessment of W32/Virut, some variants can infect the
HOSTS file and block access to security related web sites.
Virux is an even more complex file infector which can embed an iframe into the body of web-related files and infect script files (.php, .asp, and .html). When Virut creates infected files, it also creates non-functional files that are corrupted beyond repair. In many cases the infected files
cannot be disinfected properly by your anti-virus. When disinfection is attempted, the files become corrupted and the system may become
irreparable.
The virus has a number of bugs in its code, and as a result it may misinfect a proportion of executable files....some W32/Virut.h infections are corrupted beyond repair.
McAfee Risk Assessment and Overview of W32/VirutThere are bugs in the viral code. When the virus produces infected files, it also creates non-functional files that also contain the virus...Due to the damaged caused to files by virut it's possible to find repaired but corrupted files. They became corrupted by the incorrect writing of the viral code during the process of infection. undetected, corrupted files (possibly still containing part of the viral code) can also be found. this is caused by incorrectly written and non-function viral code present in these files.
AVG Overview of W32/VirutThis kind of infection is
contracted and spread by visiting remote,
crack and
keygen sites. These type of sites are
infested with a smörgåsbord of malware and an increasing source of system infection. However, the CA Security Advisor Research Blog says they have found
MySpace user pages carrying the malicious Virut URL. Either way you can end up with a computer system so
badly damaged that recovery is not possible and it cannot be repaired. When that happens there is nothing you can do besides
reformatting and reinstalling the OS.
...warez and crack web pages are being used by cybercriminals as download sites for malware related to VIRUT and VIRUX. Searches for serial numbers, cracks, and even antivirus products like Trend Micro yield malcodes that come in the form of executables or self-extracting files...quick links in these sites also lead to malicious files. Ads and banners are also infection vectors...
Keygen and Crack Sites Distribute VIRUX and FakeAVIf your computer was used for online banking, has credit card information or other sensitive data on it, you should disconnect from the Internet until your system is cleaned.
All passwords should be changed immediately to include those used for banking, email, eBay, paypal and online forums. You should
consider them to be compromised. You should change each password using a clean computer and not the infected one. If not, an attacker may get the new passwords and transaction information. If using a
router, you need to reset it with a strong logon/password so the malware cannot gain control before connect again. Banking and credit card institutions should be notified of the possible security breach. Because your computer was compromised please read:
There is
no guarantee this infection can be completely removed. In some instances it may have caused so much damage to your system that it cannot be completely cleaned or repaired. The malware may leave so many remnants behind that security tools cannot find them. Many experts in the security community believe that once infected with this type of malware, the best course of action is to wipe the drive clean, reformat and reinstall the OS. Reinstalling Windows without first wiping the entire hard drive with a repartition and/or format will not remove the infection. The reinstall will only overwrite the Windows files. Any malware on the system will still be there afterwards. Please read:
If you insist on trying to fix this infection instead of following our advice to reformat and reinstall your operating system, there are various rescue disks available from major anti-virus vendors which you can try. Keep in mind, even the vendors like Kaspersky say there is
no guarantee that some files will not get corrupted during the disinfection process. In the end most folks end up reformatting out of frustration after spending hours attempting to repair and remove infected files. IMO the safest and easiest thing to do is just reformat and reinstall Windows.
Bleeping Computer DOES NOT assume any responsibility for your attempt to repair this infection using any of the following tools. You do this at your own risk and against our advice.These are links to Anti-virus vendors that offer free LiveCD or Rescue CD files that are used to boot from for repair of unbootable and damaged systems, rescue data, scan the system for virus infections. Burn it as an image to a disk to get a bootable CD. All (except Avira) are in the
ISO Image file format. Avira uses an EXE that has built-in CD burning capability.
If you are not sure how to burn an image, please read
How to write a CD/DVD image or ISO. If you need a FREE utility to burn the ISO image, download and use
ImgBurn.
My advice to you, dannydanny, is to reformat and reinstall. Virut is a nasty and relatively new infection and no-one can promise that the fix will work completely. Bleeping Computer does not recommend that you attempt it.
I suggest you to start backup all of your valuable data/documents/pictures/movies/songs/etc..
Do NOT backup any applications/installers and Do NOT backup any .exe/.scr/.htm/.html/.xml/.zip/.rar files...
This because these files may be infected as well. If you back them up and replace them afterwards, it will infect your computer again.Note: If you have to backup files, do so only for MS Office documents & any non executable file. Burn them to CD/DVD. Do NOT copy files from the infected machine to your pendrive OR another machine. You risk infecting the other machine.
Virut is not disinfectable. Your only option is to perform a full reformat. Do NOT attempt a repair install. It shall be a waste of time. If you do so, the infected executables remain on the machine & you shall likely trigger another bout of Virut.
If you do not know how to perform a fresh install, use this websites and read for instructions how to format and reinstall Windows:
