Yes, to confirm, s.exe is the malicious file. The website has been reported to the authorities and shall cease operations soon. Various Argo sites and servers are also continuing to be DDoS'ed. Just hang in there guys. We'll catch the bastard. I already got his website, shouldn't be hard now.

I clicked a few times on it.

Anyone know where I can find it? I did a scan, found nothing. I am still unsure if it is there.

Scan with both Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware.

Scan with both Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware.

But where can I find the virus inside my PC? Should I search for it?

No. Scan. You're not looking for one specific file with a predictable name. It could be running in your computer's memory too.

f**k. I killed 's.exe' using task manager, but my anti virus didn't pick anything up.

I'm not sure if the actual name of the file being downloaded is the same as the one that executes the malicious download, but that's highly suspicious regardless. Update everything and boot into Safe Mode and have your A/V and A/S BOTH fully scan your computer.

I have Webroot, and it's meant to be an anti virus with a spy scanner ._. That's all I've got.

Just a suggestion, never trust an Anti-Virus software that claims to also remove Spyware, because it's a BS marketing gimmick. They are SOMETIMES able to detect it, but they can next to never remove it, and they almost never detect it anyway, so you're left wide open. If you have Windows XP or higher, get or turn on Windows Defender in addition to your Anti-Virus software.

Edit: Oops, fixed a weird typo.

How do you perform a full scan with Windows Defender? When I press 'Scan', it only performs a quick scan.

Allison · « **Reply #35 on:** June 25, 2011, 03:08:49 am »

There is a down arrow by the 'scan' button on top. Click it and go down to full scan.
