it shows up with red lips then directs me to a porn site. I also think that it is automatically turning off my computer. It does a 60 sec count down. I ran my antivirus/spyware software and it still shows up. I checked on the web and googled the file name "pa_0177.exe" and the web pages that came up were all in a forien language and made no sense to me when I had google translate. I also tried to manually remove this file but it keeps comming back. Has this happened o anyone else? Does anyone have any suggestions?
I have a virus/worm/Trojan/ad ware by the name of pa_0177.exe on my computer?viruses
Do these things. This is what works for me when I clean up an infection such as the one you describe.
First, run free online scan, Housecall. (Go to http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ and then choose Housecall there)
Then make sure your antivirus and spyware protection programs are updated.
[If you do not have separate spyware protection, you need to add some. For now, download, install and update Ad Aware Personal (free for personal use) and Spybot (also free for personal use)--get them from download.com. I use both, regularly.]
[Others will trash these choices and make other recommendations. You can sort all that out later, after you have cleaned up your machine.]
Turn off your System Restore (right-click My Computer, choose Properties, then System Restore tab) and restart in safe mode (F8 while restarting).
