Virus - Notepad exits by itself - C:\WINDOWS\system32\advpackf.exe

[Guest Fonti]

My PC is infected with a virus. It is popping up with "Your system is

probably infected with latest version of Spyware.cyberlog.X.

 

When I checked with Process explorer; it showed that one process is running

"C:\WINDOWS\system32\advpackf.exe" which has written many entries in Regedit.

 

I have killed the process and deleted all the entries in registry editor, I

could find.

 

Strange thing is when I search on C:\WINDOWS\system32\ for the file

advpackf.exe even after unhiding all the files. It fails to show up, however

if I run the C:\WINDOWS\system32\advpackf.exe from the Run menu, it again

starts all the popups and tries to change the start up page of browser.

 

After this virus, I am unable to start Notepad.exe, after starting Notepad

immediately exits by itself.

 

Please advice.
