[Guest Crispy2007]

ak44f6m9.sys cannot find it by searching for it or or I cant find any

other info on Google, AVG(8.5) will pick up but cannot delete it, any

Go through these general malware removal steps systematically -

http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2....emoving_Malware

 

Include scanning with David Lipman's Multi_AV and follow instructions to do

all scans in Safe Mode. Please see the special Notes regarding using

Multi_AV in Vista.

 

http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Multi-AV - instructions

http://tinyurl.com/yoeru3 - download link and more instructions

 

When all else fails, get guided help. Choose one of the specialty forums

listed at the first link. Register and read its posting FAQ. PLEASE DO NOT

POST LOGS IN THE MS NEWSGROUPS.

 

If you can't do the work yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this

isn't your cup of tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair

shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). Please be

aware that not all local shops are skilled at removing malware and even if

they are, your computer may be so infested that Windows will need to be

clean-installed. If possible, have all your data backed up before you take

the machine into a shop.

I beg your pardon? Your computer is infected. You need to clean it up. I

gave you links to instructions as how to do this. My own website has no

ads; the link I gave you leads to only a rather lengthy set of instructions

on how to remove malware. The specialty forums where you can get guided

help may have ads but the helpers are volunteers and the help is free.

 

If you really think that my reply was spam, that lack of judgment may

explain why your computer is infected. I'm hesitant to give you any more

links to sites that will show you how to stay safe on the Internet since

you may think that is spam.

 

Probably the best solution for you is to take your machine to a competent

local computer professional. This will not be a BigComputerStore/GeekSquad.

This will not be free. Or you can back up your data and do a clean install

of Windows. That will be free.

 

As for me, I'm done with this thread. I'm sure you can get help from someone

else with whom you will feel more comfortable.

You are clearly an idiot.

I saw that, that is a filename (which is generally useless from an

investigation standpoint. AVG must have detected it as malware and

stated what malware it thought it might be. Something like

"Trojan.Zapchast.b" or "Backdoor.Sysad". Also, where it was found can be

important too. Check your AVG log to see if that information was

retained.
