I had zlob and brastk.exe as well as Trojan Horse Downloader.Agent.AOON, Trojan Horse Generic12.GVU, Trojan Horse Agent.AHRN, Trojan Horse Agent.3.R, Trojan Horse Agent.AHRN, Trojan Horse Generic12.GVU AVG was able to quarantine them in Safe Mode but they would keep coming back when I would start the computer not in Safe mode. I found 3 executables inside Documents and Settings, one of which had the following path: C:\Documents and Settings\MYNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\wejudem.exe The other two looked like a movie file but ended with exe and they were created after I got the virus so I deleted the 3 executables from the C command prompt and now Zlob and brastk.exe are not coming back at least. I still have a DNS changer as I cannot access the symantec website, nor AVG. In trying to follow the instructions from exterminate-it.com, I discovered other suspicious files inside C:\Windows\System32\ specifically wupibupavo.exe, idiwuwade.dll, ujaw.bin, piretu.dl, ladasaxa.inf I suspect these files because they are all created the same time as when I downloaded the brastk virus. My brother says I should just reinstall XP, since who knows what else is on there. Which is better fix through the other forum or re-install?
