Answer 1

To remove the Antivermins pest, follow the procedure in the article "How To Remove Antivermins (removal Instructions"): which is at this link:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic69886.html

Your computer has a serious infection called Smitfraud, which most stand-alone, general-purpose virus scanners such as Norton and AVG cannot remove or even detect.

Try the above procedure using the specialised tool caled SmitfraudFix.

Good luck.

Answer 2

Hi,
That is a smitfraud infection, and Smitfraudfix will fix it.

1. Please download SmitfraudFix:
http://siri.geekstogo.com/SmitfraudFix.php
Extract the content (a folder named SmitfraudFix) to your Desktop.
Next, please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by rebooting the computer,
and repeatedly tapping the F8 key as the pc starts. Choose "Safe Mode" from
the options listed.

Once in Safe Mode, open the SmitfraudFix folder again and double-click
smitfraudfix.cmd

Select option #2 - Clean by typing 2 and press "Enter" to delete infected
files.

You will be prompted : "Registry cleaning - Do you want to clean the
registry?" answer "Yes" by typing Y and press "Enter" in order to remove
the Desktop background and clean registry keys associated with the
infection.

The tool will now check if wininet.dll is infected. You may be prompted to
replace the infected file (if found); answer "Yes" by typing Y and press
"Enter".

The tool may need to restart your computer to finish the cleaning process;
if it doesn't, please restart it into Normal Windows.

The report can also be found at the root of the system drive, usually at C:\rapport.txt


OR:
2. Rougescanfix is also another tool that removes antivermin.
Download Roguescanfix from here:
http://www.martijnc.be/tools/roguescanfix.exe

Download it to your desktop.
Doubleclick "roguescanfix.exe"
Click the 'install' button.
This will create a new folder on your desktop called Roguescanfix.
Open that folder and doubleclick: "Run.bat"

Note: This tool needs internet connection because it downloads an additional file to let the tool work properly.
If your firewall gives an alert, allow it instead of blocking it.
In case you still get the message BFU.exe is not present, download BFU.zip from here.
Unzip it and place BFU.exe in the Roguescanfix-folder. Then doubleclick Run.bat again.

The tool will uninstall the nasties and delete related files and registrykeys.
When some files won't get deleted, it will ask you to reboot your system to delete the files after reboot.
Please make sure the uninstall of the programs are finished before you click Yes to reboot.

A program is starting up causing this. You can prevent its startup from the config settings in Windows XP by typing: Msconfig at the run dialog on the start bar

click the tab on top that says "startup" you should find the problem in the list.
