Dust.exe Error In Winxp

When my g'friend logs in under her id she keeps getting an error message that something about dust.exe. I haev a norton firewall and panda anti virus running. The error does not come up when I login.

If this is an error that I need to go on to th MS knowledge base for perhaps some one can let me know the error reference to search under.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

It either time to get the Vac out -joke

Its the studd worm, go to the above link for removal instruction

Thanks for that Andrew. I shall follow the instructions in the web link you posted and try to get rid of the worm.

I haev run a couiple of AV scans. Trendmicro found a virus one of which it was unable to clean so i deleted the file (C:windows\system32\syscfg32.exe). Panda AV was not able toeither prevent the infection or to even find the virus.

Now the problem has stopped but instead I get a TMG Norton AV 2004 Keygen crack opening up regardless of who logs in. THe crack is by MAc & Xor37H?

Any ideas on what i should do next?

well.... you do seem to be in a mess

this is how I would tackle the problem if it were me

download and install norton av (doesn't have to be 2004)

Update it and then do a complete scan with it

Scan with Ad-Aware 6 or similar

Then hopefully you should be in a better position to see whats wrong
