If you have typed this correctly, you have the Rapid Blaster virus.
1. iexplorer.exe - virus
2. iexplore.exe - MS Internet Explorer
3. explorer.exe - Windows Graphical User Interface
4. msmsgs.exe - Windows Messenger
You should scan in Safe Mode with a current version (not earlier than
2004) antivirus using updated definitions. If you do not have one
installed (oh, why not?) then start scanning with TrendMicro's
Sysclean, as follows:
TrendMicro's Sysclean is an extensive antivirus tool which has the
advantage of not needing to be installed. It requires two parts - the
scanning engine and the virus pattern files. Delete all Temporary and
Temporary Internet Files before running the program.
1. Create a new folder on your Desktop or the C: drive named something
useful like "Sysclean".
2. Go here and download the two parts of the program to that folder:
http://www.trendmicro.com/download/dcs.asp - Sysclean
http://www.trendmicro.com/download/pattern.asp - virus pattern files
The pattern files will be zipped - extract them with your unzipper (like
WinZip) or if you have XP, you can just open the folder. You need to
put the extracted files in the Sysclean folder you made.
3. Restart your computer in Safe Mode. Get into Safe Mode by repeatedly
tapping the F8 key as the computer is starting up to get to the proper
menu.
4. Go to the Sysclean folder you made and double-click on sysclean.com.
Start the scan. After the scan is finished, look at the log. You may
need to make a note of where any viruses were found if they were not
able to be removed so you can manually delete them.
Then get a full-featured antivirus, install it, update it, and do a
thorough scan in Safe Mode. It would also be smart to scan for
non-viral malware with free programs like Ad-aware and Spybot Search &
Destroy. Make sure you update those programs before running and do your
scans in Safe Mode.
