I think you mean the operating system. The cpu is a component of the computer, the brains if you will. The operating system is the consciousness, or personality.
the infected file is located in "c:\windows\system32\drivers\uwtnhuf.sys"
It sounds like you might need to dump all your system restore points as it's most likely hiding in there. This is not unusual. I'd run a FULL scan with MBAM and then with your anti virus software and see if that fixes it. If not, download and install CCleaner from
THIS LINKto uninstall your system Restore points. CCleaner is also good for cleaning up all the temporary files and giving your registry (the oil in your engine) a once over; like getting a service on a car.
It's not my guide, but let me know how you go.
ok finally made my way into "safe mode" scanned with mbam and didnt find anything!
went back to "normal mode" and scanned still there. and i did full scans earlier today with mbam and norton 360...and tonight i uninstalled norton 360 and installed AVG instead
but didnt find anything with that either!
so gonna try CCleaner now seems like my last way out!
edit: sorry to say Ccleaner didnt help i deleted all my restore points except the lastest one because the program wouldnt let me hehe.
so now im clueless what to do?
wouldnt it work if go into "safe mode" and delete the uwtnhuf.sys file the one that is infected?
or maybe i wouldnt be able to start up the OS again? and then restore XP afterwards?
might sound like the worst idea ever!
hehe
but im running out off options
or maybe a full re-install of the computer?
edit2: looked around on the forum found a thread
THIS LINK with a dude that has the same problem as i have gonna follow that through tomorrow and hopefully get rid of this thing! atleast he did
