W32.Silly FDC.. what to do? plz

Did you disable Windows Defender, while using HJT?
If so, uninstall HJT, download fresh copy, install it, and run steps form my post #10 again.

Don't worry about those strange looking files. As far, as I can see, they're all needed. Don't play with them, or things may get worse.

Hi Broni,

When attempting to disable Windows Defender, I've found that it's already turned off. So I've just followed the next steps.

Is that ok? or shall I turn it on and then disable it?

That's fine. Leave it off for now.

Yep and this is the new HJT log:

Hi Broni,

I'm also having the same issue with W32.SillyDC. This morning I logged onto my computer to check my email. For one of my inbox I found an email to myself from my aol account. Several people were attached and this was the only successful email to send from my aol account. Currently, aol has demonstrated a number of 18 activities. 17 of those emails were returned because of incorrect email addresses or bots. Norton classified the problem as: desktop.ini contained threat W32.SillyDC. I was wondering if the aol incident is related to the worm. It's been 9 hours since the last attempted email--which failed. *roughly this is when i deleted a few more desktop.ini--after the first--and restarted my computer*

I believe I know what the problem is. I downloaded some files yesterday. One was an album that went into my music folder and the older was some chapters that went into a sub-manga folder. When I realized that emails were being sent without me doing so, I quickly deleted the album I downloaded. Hours later once the problem was diagnosed I checked out my manga folder. (Note: One of the manga files I couldn't transfer from the zip folder and into my folder because an error box kept appearing. I finally managed to get the file by downloading from another available link. This was yesterday). When I discarded the music album as the cause of incident I deleted the manga files, as soon as I did desktop.ini appeared in that folder. I googled desktop.ini and read in a forum that ". . ".ini is perfectly fine. One way or another IExplorer uses this file and they're meant to be hidden. Apparently, the reason why they show is because I somehow disabled the hidden button--which I didn't. Microsoft seems to agree with this statement because it tells me how to disable visibility. I also stumbled across another source of information stating that desktop.ini appears when the folder has been customized. While looking at the folders from my C drive, this statement also proved to be 90% true. Some files I don't remember using within this week for a desktop.ini to be present.

Since the first diagnostic I've run two extra scans. Only cookies are being resolved. I looked at the source and the problem is explorer. all other cookies from seamonkey and firefox aren't being considered a threat. On my old computer, which still works perfectly fine, I had to delete explorer because of viruses that were being tracked back to it.

To make long story short, my major concern is this W32.SillyCD. Norton says the problem has been resolved--though, it didn't appear as such until I deleted some desktop.ini. Could this worm be affecting my aol account? I'm thinking this is something else because my computer runs perfectly fine. I've restarted it and nothing pops up. Not that anything ever did. My other email accounts work fine. I do notice some transparent files though. They have shortcuts and folders like: Documents and Settings, Cookies, Local Settings, ect, can not be opened. I keep getting an access denied. Looking back at the folders I checked this morning, more shortcut transparent files appear. I also deleted some files (Ntuser.dat) and they reappear in the folders. They are dated from today, 3:42PM.  I can not delete the Ntusers from my document folder, I keep getting access denied. Now, a ntuser.ini appears in that folder which wasn't there before. Should I leave things as they are or should I still be concerned despite what Norton says? I've only had this computer for 10 months. I'm sure one or two more virus exist somewhere but none have manifested any trouble.

I tried following the steps you gave earlier but I can't find Run on my start menu. Of all things!!

I'm sorry to be another technotard.

Thank you and enjoy your day!
