The virus I had came back once again, only this time more and more annoying! Eating up my precious gigabytes!

Whenever I close all proceses, run AVG virus scan, delete all infected ----, reboot, it would Come back!!

Now my free space started shrinking without me downloading anything. from 4 empty gigs, I have 200 mb's left.

and stupid ---- is created in my c:\
copies of win.ini are beeing created under diferent names:
gay.ini
put.ini
tmp.ini



What can I do?

Check your Startup folder for All Users and your user name. Check the registry keys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Software>Microsoft>Windows>CurrentVersion>Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>Microsoft>Windows>CurrentVersion>Run
HKEY_USERS>(all of them)>Software>Microsoft>Windows>CurrentVersion>Run
Check all of these for things you didn't put in there. Beyond that...format c:
[edit]
Also, run AdAware or something...before formatting that is ;)

I guess formatting would be your only other option.

AVERT has no information for Opas.X, sure you're spelling it right?

I'd format. It's actually not that hard to switch over...I got a new computer, I'm now up and running again with a new version of Windows (well, older actually) and most of the programs I like running again. Granted, I copied some of them over, and the installations for others, but some I had to totally reinstall...but it's not as nasty as you'd think, formatting and reinstalling.

on average it takes me 3 days to get back up and running after a format. and 72 is looooooong....
