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
D
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 but what you describe seems more serious than what that particular virus is capable of, has AVG identified any other virii?
know any good virii?Quote:

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't causing any problems except that Nero and maybe 1 or 2 other programs wouldn'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'm using Firefox now.Quote:

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