The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Virus and Trojan on my laptop (Kavo, Vanti, and others)

Asked by unrinoceronte in HijackThis Software, Anti-Virus, Windows Network Security

Tags: virus, trojan, kavo, vanti, autorun.inf

Hi, will be great if someone can help me. I have the followig issue:

I use Windows XP Pro SP2, My Antivirus McAfee detected some Trojan and Virus, it says it deleted them, but they seem to remain there.
Strange things happen, like i can not see any HIDDEN FILES. (a day before this started to happen, i had a DELL technician replace my Video Card because it broke down a week ago_ and i do not remember downloading or navigating on internet that much since the repair, and before the videocar d broke down, the video card driver corrupted, so i downloaded the most recent video driver from Dell...) (I write this just in case you think there is a relation between this)

The Virus that where detected are the following:
- Kavo.exe     C:\WINDOWS\system32\kavo.exe      W32/Autorun.worm.c (Virus)

- There is a Startup item on MSCONFIG called Kavo under C:\WINDOWS\system32\kavo.exe    KKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

- Vanti     vmhr.bat       \Local Settings\Temp\ml.dll      VAnti (Trojan)
 
-autorun.inf    (explorer.exe          C:\autorun.inf      Generic!atr (Trojan)

-(and other plenty of .exe files like taskmgr.exe, notepad.exe, rundll32.exe, verclsid.exe, that are related to C:\WINDOWS\system32\kavo0.dl  Generic Packed (Trojan) _ You can see this in my Antivirus LOG that i am attaching.  

- Sometimes also when I connect my USB flash Drive, it detects a virus i think it said something about autorun.inf

Hopefully there is a way on cleaning this that doesnt mean to Reinstall OS, i would not like to do that, I prefer if possible to fix it and clean it.

Can you please also tell me what this Virus or trojans do to my computer and info? are they very risky or dangerous?

Thanks in advance
