Answer 1

You may want to fdisc and reload all your programs and operating system,but first lets try the easy way out.
Go to www.housecall.trendmicro.com free online virus scan it will find viruses that your anti virus software and things like adaware and spybot will not. It scan for viruses and malware/adware/greyware/spyware/viruses/worms/trojans etc..Its free and very good.It will not only locate them but will remove most of them itself(may delete but it will ask first) If it does encounter a virus it will not remove it will give you the path and instructions on how to remove it yourself.You can go to microsoft.com for patches or removal tools as well, and use their free scan.The thing is sometimes their patches screw things up more than they help you out.
More than likely this will solve your problem and avoid wiping your hard drive and having to reload everything.
DO NOT back up your computer and use that to re install from as the virus would just get backed up as well.

Dear All friends,

If your generic host win32 process infected with some serious virus then you must go to Microsoft security website and search generic host file patches on site. Otherwise regular use auto update for that.

But my personal opinion that you must format your computer and make fresh installation. Only use Winxp with SP2 OS & after installation update regular patches from microsoft.

Never goes to suspicious websites like www.serialz.to. bcoz perticular website install keylogger in your computer & infect your host files. and your computer goes slow down also.
Good luck.

Do this....

Good luck!!!!

I remember seeing the names for AVAST and a couple of other programs for this infection on the additional pages after this one.
