I've come across many virus while working on home pc.... so I'ld think my experiences may
be useful for u.
Initial suggestions to keep ur pc safe:
-------------use: printscreen key on keyboard , paint , save as .jpg extension
-------------keep updating ur screenshots each individually preferably of TASK MANAGER , regularly after installing
1.windows xp
2.ms office
3. acrobat reader
4.players...etc and other softwares.......
so that whenever ur sys is affected with any virus u can find the process in task manager that is resulting in improper functioning of ur pc and then u can end process of that particular program, if ur antivirus doesn't find that virus.
-------------Always keep changing antivirus program on ur pc.
recent virus are :
1.' ,.exe '
Effect: says that '....' some file is missing popping up many windows that pop up continously non stop. It spreads itself into all available drives...
Solution : use 'eset smart security' http://www.eset.com/download/index.php
2.' xmss.exe ' , ' Dd5.exe ', ' Dd6.exe '
Effect: no window except 'my computer explorer window' will remain shown to you. All other windows mostly Task Manager vanish within seconds... antivirus already existing is disabled... no other antivirus is allowed to install onto ur pc.
Solution : just find that them from search and shift delete them and shift delete all suspicious programs
