Solved: Malicious Script found

3587 Views 26 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  Mosaic1
NAV pops up with this box each time I start my computer. It says my computer is halted because it found a malicious script. The script is found in

C:documents and settings/all users/startmenu/programs/startup/

The file is called "microsoft windows.hta"

I am using WinXP. What do I do? Do I manually delete this file? When I run a scan using NAV, it says it's clean. I also used Kaspersky Lab online scan and it says "clean."

Is it a virus? How do I get rid of the popup box from NAV?

Thanks so much. I read this forum quite frequently but never had a problem until now.

That looks good!!

If you close you browser (IE) and fix this one it should go away, but it is just a clean up item.

If you feel you are fixed, mark it solved via thread tools above.
Thank you for all your assistance. But I still have one more question.

My original question was what to do about the malicious script warning from NAV for microsoft windows.hta. I used HJT to fix it. So I guess it's in a backup file in my c:/HJT folder. Can I delete? Do I just leave it there????

Thanks!
It was here and yes delete it but I doubt it is there

C:documents and settings/all users/startmenu/programs/startup/ but that was the startup entry

Do a search for the file and delete

To remove all traces of what you went through turn off and then turn on restore points

You're welcome.

To remove a backup file, open Hijackthis and press the config button. Then when the new page comes up press the Backups button.

A list of all backups will be found on the next page. Find the backup you want to delete and highlight. Then press Delete.
