Hi Lia
Is there any way I could format drive D alone, or do I have to do all the procedure from scratch and just render the pc to the condition when I bought it?

it is the only sure way to format the whole computer
In any case, is it safe to back up the rest of the files in D that appear uninfected in a USB (photos and e-books, nothing with .exe or .rar extension)?

Backup all your documents and important items (personal data, work documents, etc) only. DO NOT backup any executable files (softwares) and screensavers (*.scr). It attempts to infect any accessed .exe or .scr files by appending itself to the executable.

Also, avoid backing up compressed files (zip/cab/rar) files that have .exe or .scr files inside them. Virut can penetrate and infect .exe files inside compressed files too.

Recent variants also modify htm, html, asp and php files.

Thanks peku006
 
Hi again :) I opted to format only drive D. I did 2 scans it just in case, they were both clean.
I would like your opinion about a good antivirus program. Now I have the free edition of Avast! but I want to upgrade to something better. Should I stick with Avast! or should I get Kaspersky Internet Security package or something else? For the Kaspersky I was told that it really slows down the pc. Also, should I install Online Armor firewall?
Finally, of the programs we used during this session, should I keep some (I will keep ATF for sure) or can I uninstall them?

Here is the latest scan report.

Hi Lia

you can keep both the ATF and mbam,they are both excellent programs

Here are some recommended free antivirus and firewall programs:

Here are some free programs I recommend that could help you improve your computer's security.

Find Tutorial here : http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm

Update your Antivirus programs and other security products regularly to avoid new threats that could infect your system.
You can use one of these sites to check if any updates are needed for your pc.
