VIRTUMONDE.PRX infection

[Shaba]

Empty this folder:

C:\Qoobox\Quarantine

Empty Recycle Bin.

Still problems?

[xtracalm]

I deleted the folder as instructed.
No apparent problems with the system that I can see, just that it takes a little longer to load.
Any ideas?
Also I keep my symantec internet security software upto date very often, why do you think my system got infected?
What can I do to deter geting infected again?
Thank you for all your help.

Well no antivirus can find all threats, it is impossible. Especially hard it is with new ones.

As for slowness, I can recommend which startup programs you can disable if you like to?

[xtracalm]

Yes please do let me know what startup programs I can disable.

[Shaba]

You can disable these:

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [updateMgr] "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Acrobat\AdobeUpdateManager.exe" AcStd7_0_9 -reboot 1
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Messenger (Yahoo!)] "C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Messenger\YahooMessenger.exe" -quiet
O4 - Global Startup: Adobe Acrobat Speed Launcher.lnk = ?
O4 - Global Startup: AutoCAD Startup Accelerator.lnk = C:\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\acstart16.exe
O4 - Global Startup: QuickBooks Update Agent.lnk = C:\Program Files\Common Files\Intuit\QuickBooks\QBUpdate\qbupdate.exe

If you need help with that, let me know.

[xtracalm]

Open HijackThis, click do a system scan only and checkmark these:

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [updateMgr] "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Acrobat\AdobeUpdateManager.exe" AcStd7_0_9 -reboot 1

O4 - Global Startup: QuickBooks Update Agent.lnk = C:\Program Files\Common Files\Intuit\QuickBooks\QBUpdate\qbupdate.exe

Close all windows including browser and press fix checked.

Reboot.
