Can anyone help? Through much trial and error (and by running Hijack This) I believe that my system has been infected by Ms4Hd. Programs, applications, drivers, etc.. randomly will be uninstalled. Hijack This suggests that I revert to an earlier version than the current version (HijackThis_v1.99.1.exe) but I can't find an earlier version anywhere. Suggestions?

Post your HijackThis log it will be very helpful

1.)Download & install KasperSky Anti-Virus - http://usa.kaspersky-labs.com/trials/tri...apter=146481750 (you must have a valid email to download it)

2.)Download & install Avast! Home Editon - http://www.download.com/Avast-Home-Editi...tml?tag=lst-3-2

3.)Download & install AVG Anti-Virus - http://www.download.com/AVG-Anti-Virus-F...tml?tag=lst-3-4

4.)UPDATE ALL SOFTWARE ONE AT A TIME

5.)RUN ALL anti-virus software in safe mode

6.)Make Avast! do a boot time scan... to do this open Avast! then go to the button that looks a eject symbol in the upper left hand corner then look for "Schedule Boot-Time Scan" then select the option "Scan archive files"

7.)Run HijackThis and post back with your log... i found HijackThis 1.99.1 http://www.download.com/HijackThis/3000-...tml?tag=lst-0-1

P.S... if all else fails NUKE IT!... just kidding

it doesn't sound like a worm it could be several viruses that just hit

1.monkey b exteme virus: deletes drivers nad systems files funny though doesn't attach it self to music and office documents

2.mega delete 33: this is not a real virus it is a fake virus that inhabits auto exec.bat and gives you a fake ms dos startup screen s simple remedy back up the system files autoexec.bat and config.sys
