Win32.Betalire

working on a friends computer... coming up with this virus all over the place... when looking for the files, they arent there (show hidden files is checked). using eTrust EZ Antivirus

cant find any info about this virus except that some things find it as a virus and cant get rid of it, and others dont find it at all.... any ideas? the pop up boxes are driving us crazy

Can you get to an online scanner such as Housecall? http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

No fixes, but a discussion on this new virus here.

Does it change the hosts file to block antivirus sites, Butch? If not, try one of the on line scans mentioned.

Cheers
Mick

i know avg well, but she has this other AV that is easy to use and she is familiar with it, and i dont feel like uninstalling it, and installing avg, then giving a long lesson on how to use it...
