I have a virus called W32/VB.NQ Can any one help me get rid of it?

Answer 1

Things I recommend. Follow Step by Step:

Step 1:
Open the webpage, go to tools, click internet options, delete files, delete cookies, clear history, click apply, click ok.

Step 2:
Open the webpage, go to tools, click reset web settings, click ok

Step 3:
Run Spybot-Search and Destroy , remove anything that comes up

Step 4:
Run Ad Aware , remove anything that comes up

Step 5:
Run Ewido, you can find it at www.ewido.com, remove anything that comes up

Step 6:
Run an anti virus software. I like Norton.

Step 7:
Go to Start, Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, any programs that you know were not on your computer before or look suspicious, click uninstall/remove, click ok

Step 8:
Restart your computer

Step 9:
If there are still problems I recommend reinstalling windows. Risk: you will lose all your files to be sure to save everything you dont want to lose on floppy disks or CDs

Step 10:
If you want to reinstall windows, turn on the computer, when the start screen comes up it will say something like F4, F10, click the number that corresponds with reinstalling, it will take around 30-45 min to reinstall but your system will be cleaned.

Answer 2

Its A Visual BAsic Script virus. I would suggest you to install ZoneLabs Antivirus and update the virus definitions and then scan for the virus. Once it finds it, ZoneLab will automatically delete the virus from your system.

Note the filename (WORM_GAOBOT.DF) This is the filename created by your virus.

Then go here for a free online scan: http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ It will take a while to scan your entire machine.

Make sure you have an antivirus scanning program and keep it updated. A good free one is AVG, http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1
