hi all. i need help. my pc( os: windows ME) was infected by a unknown trojan ( my antivirus/anti trojan software was not able to detect it) it disables the regedit and puts in a nooptionsfolder and no customized webview in the registry. In the past, i'm usually able to delete viruses because they take on a the hidden file - folder.htt and replicates in the folders.
this time, a security window pops up everytime i open any folder, telling me that the web content has been changed and would i allow it to be initialized by scripts. everytime i access the folder options and click on 'show hidden files or folders' the security message would appear and the page would be refreshed. then the option would return to "hide hidden files and folders." I tried getting the system information through windows systems tools and i keep getting a "that is not allowed due to restrictions in this computer"
the trojan also deleted the contents of the dosstart.bat
it may also have deleted or added things to the registry but aside from those mentioned above, i am not aware of it. i don't know what else it does aside from messing my registry everytime i open a folder. i hope someone may be able to help me. Thank you
