Guest ElGordo Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 My av gives message "SL48E.TMP", do you want to run this program? I think i is in the sys32 folder. Is it a MS program and hence OK to run?

Go through these general malware removal steps systematically - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware Include scanning with David Lipman's Multi_AV and follow instructions to do all scans in Safe Mode. http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Multi-AV - instructions http://pcdid.com/Multi_AV.htm - download When all else fails, run HijackThis and post your log in one of the specialty forums listed at the link above (not here, please). Standard caveat: If the procedures look too complex - 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 version of BigStoreUSA). 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. Have all your data backed up before you take the machine into a shop. Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers http://www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!" MS-MVP Windows - Shell/User
Guest Newbie Coder Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 Re: AV ElGordo, Some TMP files run like Yahoo Messenger installation etc & is more likely found in your TEMP folder START | RUN | Type %temp% & press ENTER. Is the file in there? If so, delete it after sending to Symantec Most probably if its a nasty file (laymans terms) then no virus application... will pick it up as the filename is randomly created Best thing you can do is zip it, open the zip & encrypt with the 'infected' password, rename the zip 'Submissions' & sent it to AVSubmit@symantec.com Subject: Submission And in the body give as much detail as possible Search for the file using 'Find Files & Folders' to get its exact location & you should receive a reply from Symantec quickly with a reply if its know otherwise max 48 hours with the results -- Newbie Coder (It's just a name) "ElGordo" <ElGordo@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:849628D4-09FE-47C4-8AC4-F011F8959017@microsoft.com... > My av gives message "SL48E.TMP", do you want to run this program?

Is it a MS program and hence OK to run? All. tmp/temp files are safe to delete, and is recommended to do on a regular basis. -- http://www.bootdisk.com/
