Is it a virus?
« on: July 15, 2007, 09:33:11 PM »
Alright my computer was working perfectly no problems at all then today I installed an online game called Rakion then when I was playing it my keyboard stopped working. I tried removing the plug and putting it back in, but it didn't work. Then a few minutes later the whole computer froze. Then I restarted it and ran a virus scan I found two trojan horses in the files where you install the game. I found another two which I don't remeber the names but were something like ....8750 and ....8751. AVG couldn't heal them so it put them in Virus Vault that's when I noticed my keyboard shut off so I shut down my computer. What is the problem here?

I use Windows Xp Home Edition

Update your AVG and scan in Safe Mode.  Let it remove whatever it wants.

If you're still having problems, scan with HijackThis and post a log.

I'll start it up right now and if it puts it in the virus vault does it mean its deleted?

When an infection is placed in the virus vault, it is quarantined, not deleted.  The file still exists on your computer, but it is no longer a threat.  Although it's not necessary, I personally prefer to delete all files placed into the vault.  Be sure to let us know how the Safe Mode scan goes.

Well when I turned on my computer at the compaq screen I got a "304-Keyboard or system error" in small white letters above the compaq logo. I restarted it and I still got the error but managed to get into the f8 menu. Then when you use the arrow keys to highlight your choice the keyboard was off. And in 30 seconds it normally started and I ran a scan with that. This time I didn't get those files in the Rakion folder but I got the other ones but this time called A000009817 and 18.

sorry for all the double posts but I checked the Virus vault and the files in there are "npgmup.des.new" <<That is the one in the Rakion folder. And the others are " A0008751.new","A0008750.des","A0009718.des" and "A0009719.new" I'm going to try to restart and go in safe mode if that doesnt work ill put in a new keyboard.

Please go HERE using Internet Explorer (not Firefox or any other browser as they won't work).
  • Click on Windows Validation Assistant.
  • Click on the Validate Now button.
  • Be patient while the ActiveX loads, do not click on any links.
  • Read the instructions on this page while it's loading. You will be prompted to install - click YES.
  • Enter your product key then click continue
  • When it says "Validation Complete" please click Continue to return to your previous activity.
  • Copy what it says and paste it here.

    You should always run your HJT scan in 'normal' mode, because in safe mode not as many things are running (ie virus/spyware) and therefore they are not recorded in your log.
    System specs:
    Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 (up to 3.3 stock V and air)
    ASUS Striker Extreme
    XFX 8600GT XXX Edition
    2x 1gB Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800
    Seagate Barracuda 320gB SATA
    Raidmax Ninja 918 (520W ATXV2.0 PSU)

    If you don't have a valid copy of Windows, then it may very well be the cause of many of your problems.

    If this is a legal copy, then you'll need to provide proof because our policy is to not help out with illegal versions of Windows.
