Bestfriends.pif- Cheer03

cheer03

HI! I am having the same problems with my computer as the other people with the Bestfriends.pif aim virus. I have downloaded and updated and run both adaware and spybot, and also the HTJ. When I am on AIM it will put this away message up the "WTF then a link" or if I am signed off, it will sign me on and put that message up! It also hinders me from using the internet. Please help! here is my HTJ log file: and thank you so much!

Boot into Safe Mode (press F8 at the BIOS screen when booting) and do the following:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Kaspersky Antivirus] KasperskyAV.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [Kaspersky Antivirus] KasperskyAV.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Kaspersky Antivirus] KasperskyAV.exe

Fix those entries then find and delete KasperskyAV.exe, boot back into normal mode and post a new log.

hey, i had a friend wiht this problem so i infected myself to see how to fix it.

Under c:\winnt\system32 this is a hidden .exe file named bsharelite.exe it needs to be deleted but you have to do it under safe mode.

On the root of the hard drive C: there are some more hidden files. one was x.bat there was also a .reg file and 3 html files named home, I dont rember the rest. I deleted all of those and then rebooted. You might also need to go into the registry (win 2k or xp use msconfig) and remove bsharelite.exe from starting up.

safe mode is F8 when the computer is booting

if this doent help or u dont understand it I will try and help

HI Spyware Shooter!thanks so much for replying! I fixed the three you told me to, and i searched and deleted KasperskyAV.exe also. One thing was i wasn't sure if I was in safe mode or not, i pushed F8 while booting but it didn't look as if it was in safe mode, but i don't know what that normally looks like. Here is my new log and thanks!
