hi all

few hours ago, my PC was attacked by viruses, bcoz im stupid enough to ignore the WOT warning about the dangerous website (i was looking for software cracks, not pr0n OK???)

i've deleted the viruses with my KIS 2009. However, there's some changes have been done to my PC.

everytime i double-clicked my hard disk partitions (C,D,E,F), this error message popped up----> "C:\resycled\boot.com is not a valid win32 application"

but im lucky enough bcoz i still could access the partitions thru explorer
so... how the hell did it happened??? is there any ways for me to do to fix this?

pls i really need help...thx

You have picked up a trojan that puts an autorun.inf file at the root of all your drives and also creates a resycled folder which contains the boot.com file. The files are hidden by default. Doing a Google search it looks like a combination of Ccleaner, Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, some file deletions, and some registry editing will get rid of this problem.
These are some of the solutions I have found. They are all very similar. Backup all your important files first and perform all scans and fixes in safe mode.

If you are not comfortable with editing the registry then I suggest you backup up all your important files, reformat each partition, and re-install the OS.

Also check any USB flash drives or media cards. The virus may have come from one of those or still be on them.
