Hi S.,
That particular item has been removed with HJT.
I also ran two additional full scans, one with ESET Online scanner and one after downloaded/installed NOD AntiVirus 5.2.9, Trial version from ESET site. Both scans returned ... no infection!!
...
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {02478D38-C3F9-4efb-9B51-7695ECA05670} - (no file)
...
Now I am back, I'll inform you about my further actions.
...
When I found out it, I thought exactly the same. There is no other logical explanation to me than a virus infection! It happens to me for 1st time.Few days ago my internal HDD (WD800BEVS-75RST0) showed a strange behavior. I tried a reboot and some critical system files were missing. I forced to reinstall XP and I realised that all MSOffice documents in attached external disks had been deleted, as well as "zip" and "rar" files. Other file formats remained untouched!Sounds like a Virus infection to me, so you better begin a full system scan in safe mode.
I tried to find the lost files by a s/w named Recuva, I found them as deleted on external HDD and tried to recover them. Some of them have been overwritten, other showed in excellent condition with no clusters overwritten. I restored them, but proper application (Excel or Word) can't open them, due to wrong file extension or corruption!
Does anybody have any idea how me to go on and "save" any of these files?
Thank you in advance
