Re: perfs.exe, routing.exe - how do I get rid of them?

Connecting to the Internet without antivirus protection is a "Welcome" doormat for malware. It can take as little as eight seconds to infect an unprotected computer.

Reinstall NOD32, or choose another, but install an AntiVirus application now please. Even with BO Clean installed, your machine needs an AntiVirus application.

I use NOD32 and have never had any troubles with it. You may want to give Kaspersky a try.

After you've installed, updated and run a full system scan with an AntiVirus, please do this:


Next, establish an internet connection & perform an online scan using Internet Explorer at Kaspersky Second Opinion Scanner


Instructions are on the page:

Download and Install the kav6.0.3.837_sosen.exe package on the local machine with default settings. (Click Next on every option to accept default settings and choose the Complete button for a full install)

Run an Update in the Kaspersky SOS software. (This is the virus signature definitions update and needs internet connection)

Disable your AntiVirus application

Run a full scan to detect and remove any malware that has not been found or disinfected by the other vendor’s anti-virus.

Save that log and post it. Also post a new HijackThis log.
