Win32/parite

[dee_madison2003]

Just downloaded AVG 7.0 And a lot of my .exe files are comming up in the scan search sayin it is infected with that virus... is Win32/Parite a bad virus? do i need to worry about it?

thanks

now ne time i try to open a program it tells me

windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. you may not have the appropriate permissions to access them....


pretty sure i do... I am the main and only person that uses this pc, its mines!

that does sound pretty bad actually.

removal instructions for win32/parite are here (http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.pinfi.html) but what you describe seems more serious than what that particular virus is capable of, has AVG identified any other virii?

I had that, my computer has not been the same since, I even reformatted... it still has alot of stuff wrong with it...

Ive' had it before. Perite.b.

It was on my comp for a while i think, infected ervye .exe file i had...on BOTH partitions. :(

Wasn&#39;t causing any problems except that Nero and maybe 1 or 2 other programs wouldn&#39;t open becuase they complained of incorrect file size. <_<

So i tried an antivirus program to repair the infected files...ruined themm all, so i ended up deleting all of my setup files on my second partition then formatting the main one.

Since then I have always used an antivirus app.

Out of the many years I had my computer I only had 1 virus and caught it in 5 min after infection (without a virus scanner too).

Ever since I got my first computer, I have never gotten infected by a virus. The only "bad" thing that happened to me was when I got my browser hijacked by CoolWebSearch. And that only happened once. But never again, I&#39;m using Firefox now.

But anyways, the moral of this is, if it&#39;s 20KB, it&#39;s not what you&#39;re looking for.
