Pleeeeease help me get rid of 17PHolmes1001186.exe.....

[Sandro_T]

Hi All, some days ago some process started to pop up... First I was thinking it would go away, but I was wrong. This file's name was 17PHolmes1001186.exe.
When I looked up in internet to get info about it I found that it was a malware... Being no more than a novice in computers, I ask you to please tell me how to get rid from this file... And what this virus does in general.

Please take into notice that my system is old, operating on Win98 and I don't think I have any antivirus program.

Thanks in advance, desperately waiting for your answer,

Sandro_T

Hi Sandro_T

Click here (http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/threat_analytics/HJTInstall.exe) to download HJTInstall.exe
Save HJTInstall.exe to your desktop.
Doubleclick on the HJTInstall.exe icon on your desktop.
By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis .
Click on Install.
It will create a HijackThis icon on the desktop.
Once installed, it will launch Hijackthis.
Click on the Do a system scan and save a logfile button. It will scan and the log should open in notepad.
Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
Come back here to this thread and Paste the log in your next reply.
DO NOT use the AnalyseThis button, its findings are dangerous if misinterpreted.
DO NOT have Hijackthis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.
