Win32 Petribot.ADI?

Yahoo online protection detects 2 entries, the first shows this deleted and the next line it does not show deleted. Can anyone tell me what it is? I could not get an answer from any of the anti-virus programs.

It rather looks like a spyware infection than a virus infection and anti-virus products are not designed to remove spyware. So you might want to try out some anti-spyware scanners.

I suggest that you try to carryout system restore to a day previous to the day when there was no virus or any problems. It may be a few weeks or months back. You have to decide the date. Detailed instructions are posted at http://fixit.in/systemrestore.html



The problem is likely to be solved. Then,You insatll a standard antivirus soft ware such as Norton, AVG , Avast ( free antivirus software and Ad-aware, Ewido ( free spyware removers). You can download free softwares at

most virus are spread through IE. IE is not a safe browser. you should use a more secure browser to protect your PC from virus.



i recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar. firefox can block any any popup and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE browser. as you know, most of virus spread throught internet and webpage.



besides, firefox is much smaller than IE, so it run faster than IE.



download firefox for free, Just have a try:
