    SOS avredirector
    « on: March 25, 2010, 11:26:46 PM »
    I need help with this thing. It was included in the installation of 'hide the ip'. I didn't suspect anything at first thanks to regular virus scans with NOD32, but lately the error message ' avredirector has stopped working' keeps on popping up. So i found the file and tried to delete it but to no avail. Then I used NOD32 to quarintine it ( not sure if i spelt it right ) to no avail. Please help I think it may be a trojan, cuz i searched on google and it said it was a trojan. SOS!

    Please download ComboFix from BleepingComputer.com

    Alternate link: GeeksToGo.com

    Alternate link: Forospyware.com


    Rename ComboFix.exe to commy.exe before you save it to your Desktop
    • Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools A guide to do this can be found here
    • Click Start then copy paste the following command into the search box & hit enter: "%userprofile%\desktop\commy.exe" /stepdel
    • As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed. This will not install in Vista. Just continue scanning, and skip the console install.
    • When finished, it shall produce a log for you.  Please include the contents of C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.

      When I run combofix, it says OS is incompatible. Maybe it's because I'm using Windows Vista 64 bit?
