What you thought was a codec to watch some video, was actually a ruse. A scam if you will. It was not a codec at all. (The video would have played fine without that "Gold Codec")! What you actually downloaded was a Trojan called "Zlob".\n\nThis trojan then "phoned home" and installed the VirusBurster adware on your computer with out your knowledge.\n\nYour computer has a Smitfraud infection now, which is a very difficult one to remove. Most "all-purpose" anti-virus and anti-spyware programs (such as have been recommended to you) can only remove the original Trojan Zlob which caused the infection and not the infection itself. \n\nThis Smitfraud infection usually requires a specialized removal procedure and removal tools. Here are 2 links for information and free removal software.\nhttp://wiki.castlecops.com/malware_remov...\n\nhttp://siri.urz.free.fr/Fix/SmitfraudFix_En.php\n\nUnfortunately, new variants of this pest seem to be launched every few days, so the removal information that I gave you is always playing "catch-up". If the procedure won't work for you, keep checking back to the sites I gave you. In a few days they may have updated the procedure and / or tools.\n\nAnother free removal tool for you to try. This one is call RogueFix. Tool and full infomation are here:\nhttp://www.internetinspiration.co.uk/roguefix.htm

You really don't need a trojan; belive me. And don't think to ask for such "help" another time. It is verry unhealthy for your P.C. such "help" inside.\nAll you need is a simplle or complexe (your choice) keylogger.\n Just Click ->> http://www.waresight.com/ and you will find the rest there.

Yes, go to 'Add/Remove Programs' in the Control Panel.\nRemove the undesired program.\nIf the program folder is still listed in your Program Files, delete that too.\n\nMake sure your virus software is updated and do a full scan to make sure there aren't reinstallers for it on your computer.

It is better for you to use SYSTEM RECOVERY. Another choice you can use RECOVERY CD from dell. This cd will format your PC and destroy all the previous data. make a backup before you continue.\n\nTo prevent virus from infecting you hardware. Remove battery from mother board for a few second. And re-install the battery. (This will destroy virus inside the RAM)

Unfortunately, a lot of virus/malwares have codes imbedded that will make it appear you have NOT been infected.  They also disable a lot of Window's, and other anti-virus programs, security features.  So, that message does not necessarily mean you are still ok.   You probably need to reformat your hard drive, which means you will lose all information on it, but will MOST LIKELY get rid of the virus/worm/whatever.  \n\nAlways keep an UPDATED anti-virus program on your pc!!  I actually use 2, AVG (free) and Norton's Anti-virus.  I'll be getting a different one besides Norton's soon...I'm not that happy with them lately....I was infected twice and AVG caught it while Norton's didn't.\n\nGood luck to you!

thank you for the info,to safe guard against this virus you should try f-secure anti-virus,this is the best anti-virus on the market in my opinion,and will stop any viruses before infection hits your p.c,unlike avg and avast which let your computer become infected and then clean up the mess(allthough they do a good clean-up job),but you could do without being infected in the first place

Run your virus program after you do read and do this first:\n\nWindows ME and XP utilize a restore utility that backs up selected files automatically to the C:&#92;_Restore folder. This means that an infected file could be stored there as a backup file, and VirusScan will be unable to delete these files. You must disable the System Restore Utility to remove the infected files from the C:&#92;_Restore folder.\n\nNow go here: to learn how to disable system restore:\n\nhttp://vil.nai.com/vil/SystemHelpDocs/DisableSysRestore.aspx

try a trojan cleaner .search for it on www.softpedia.com\nand you don't really need that file...\nin future,try using an antivirus software like antivir,norton,avast or kaspersky

yes\n\nRun a scan and it should remove the virus.  \n\nYou might also get adaware or spybot and run them to get rid or spyware and adware

Dont reformat ur hard disk as this is the last option available. U will loose all the files and folders saved on ur hard disk as well as u have to load xp, 2000 etc. again after reformatting (whichever u use). Take my advice. Go to http://safety.live.com (Microsoft's newly launched website) and run a "Full Service Scan". It will detect and remove all the spywares, viruses, trojans and other harmful threats from ur pc. Once ur done with it, visit www.microsoft.com and download "Windows Defender beta 2" for future security. Its the best antispyware software available for free on internet.\nThanks!!

Just scan the file for viruses after you download it.  A general rule of thumb is don't download something like a "bios" update from a hacking site or anything that looks like it "might" not be legit.  Check the size of the file versus the size of the same file posted on other sites.
