Hello Doom,

Win32.NetSky is a computer virus found mainly in email attachments. The virus is activated when the user downloads and runs the attachment.

Unfortunately, you do not access to internet through your infected computer, but I assume you can access Internet via another computer.

Could you please download the following applications and save them onto a memory device, ie USB key, Flash drive, CDRom.

Once downloaded and save, please let me know and I will give you further instructions to remove this virus.

Here are the two applications:

Hyjackthis

Combofix

Looking forward to hear from you.

Hi,
I get the "not a valid win32 application" message for many programs, even Chrome won't open!

So many programs won't open anymore and that leads me to think it is a virus.

Is there a known cure for this?
Thanks,
Ron

PS. Windows7 pro 64bit
