    Hi Jenny


    I suggest that you try this. Reboot your pc and press several times on the F8 button before the windows loadscreen and choose for safe mode. After that go to start,run,at the run dialog box type cmd press enter. Then type the follow commands:


    %SystemDrive% press on enter


    cd %ProgramFiles%Common FilesSoftwinBitDefender Scan Server press on enter


    Here are the commands what BitDefender must do with the infected files:


    To disinfect the infected files type the command:


    bdc /files /boot /arc /mail /log=bdcscan.log /fixed /dis


    To quarantine the infected files type the command:


    bdc /files /boot /arc /mail /log=bdcscan.log /fixed /move /moves


    To delete the infected files type the command:


    bdc /files /boot /arc /mail /log=bdcscan.log /fixed /del


    You also have to press on enter.


    Regards

  • @Niels: that won't work. As you can see, the virus is inside an installer. Scanning in Safe Mode will have the same result: Move failed


    @Jenny: Do you know what application is that (Oberon Media)? If you do, and you trust it, then it might be a false positive. In this case, put the file SlgClientServicesRedists.exe in a zip file protected by the password infected and attach it to the next post here. A Virus Researcher will take a look at it, and remove the detection if necessary.


    If you don't know that application, you can just delete that file (SlgClientServicesRedists.exe).

  • @Cris: You are right. I didn't look carefully


    I did some research and it seems a legit file. Take a look here : http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/ninemsn.c...nloads/2836604/


    So follow Cris suggestions.
