windows xp virus

can anyone help me the BV virus, or at least that is what its says when I scan my computer with avast. It seems to have destroyed my system restore function, and if I do an internet search, click a link, it takes me to where ever it wants to.
I really need to know specifics on killing this virus

Also, I'm moving this to the Computer Virus and Spyware Section.

I made it to step 3, but my browser wont let me connect to superantivirus site. Any suggestions?

Try here:

after you get your system clean this will restore your system restore calender. unzip it and double click.

Ignore this for now. Let's wait until our malware specialists have a look...

that link does not open either, i get "page cannot be displayed".
could this be a dns error or something else? if so how do I fix it so I can proceed with my virus issue?

as I was reading post by other people, it seems that "poorstudent" and I are/were havinf the same problem. I was wondering if I could download the needed software to a flash drive, rename name it and load it on my infectec computer. If so, can anyone give me the steps and procedure to do this? Also HP is sending me a disc of XP, should I just wait on this and reimage my computer?

I don't see how an XP CD will do anything besides formatting the Hard Drive (erasing everything) or....well that's it unless you want to risk keeping the virus.

Anyways, yes. Download the three programs to a flash drive on another computer, rename them, and then transfer them over.

this is what i found on my first superantispyware scan

ok, know I cannot get MBAM to run, I loaded it to a flash drive, renamed it, and loaded it my infected computer, but it will not run, what now?

Can you get a HijackThis Log?

no, it does the same, "page cannot be displayed", if I try to go to the website to download, and if I download to a flash drive, it will not install HJT on the computer.
Avast scan says that autorun is infected in all drives.
Does anyone have telnet capabilities where they can remotely look at my computer, don't know if that would help or work, but I am stumbling in the dark here.

Try this.

On the damaged computer, go to Notepad and, leaving it blank, go to File --> Save As --> autorun.inf (save it to the desktop).
Now copy it to the root of all the drives on the computer. If it says 'do you want to replace a file', replace it.
On the other computer, install HJT.
Once installed, travel to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis and copy hijackthis.exe to the flash drive and rename it to sniper.exe.
Now try to get the log.

(note: Not sure if that's the exact path for hijackthis)
