Another solution to bestfriends.scr
Well yesterday I recieved that stupid bestfriends.scr. I read many of the posts here to try to figure out how to get rid of it but didn't help me totally. But the posts did help me find one thing out.
If you go to start, run and type msconfig and push ok it brings up the system configurator, then click the start up tab. under the command section there should be different .exe listings but before it actually states the name of the exe file it says c:/ ... , others say things after it, but the thing that i found about this virus was that whenever it wanted to run a .exe file in the start up it would just name the file. For example it would only say F1REF0X.exe or Winzip32.exe, it wouldn't say runddl.exe/... . The entries did not say anything before or after the file name. Then after unchecking the file and then searching for it in windows search i would find where exacltly the file is on the computer. If it was F1REF0X i would search for F1REF0X.exe in the search window, then in order to delete it i would go to the task manager, end the process and then delete the file. But, in short this is another way to figure out the name of the file that is corrupt. Hope this works. I will post a picture of an example of what exactly you should look for in the system configurator. I know i didn't make this the clearest but if someone can help clearify better what to look for in the System configurator.
