Sorry - may be offline for a bit. Got a virus or trojan.

Trying to run avg from safe mode and getting all kinds of files & directories listed as file locked, cannot access.

Didn't download anything, just was doing an image search for "gay pimp" and one of the sites that popped up started to auto-download...avg caught it and gave me a warning:
virus identified JS/Downloader.Agent
Object: C:\Users\... ... \new1[1].htm
Result: moved to virus valut
Object type: file
Process: C:\Program_Files\Internet_Explorer\ieexplore.exe

Since then started freezing, running slow, acting suspicious (which is why I restarted in safe mode as admin and ran avg...but it is showing it can't access a lot of files). I've pulled it off the network and am not docking my usb into it - but I have no idea if I'm infected in other places. Not sure if it could or did hit others through the wireless/wired network. Running the laptop NAV now, avg (free) found nothing on this tv-computer.

May try working from other computers, but due to network while they identify themselves as ok that doesn't mean they are.

Today's WAH may be a total waste of production time. Poop. So much for my 100% no problem for 10 years using free software.

Still working on it:
though I found something about it on the avg.com website, downloaded its
http://www.avg.com/virus-removal.ndi-67751
tool was run, but it either died or found nothing - it ran in safe mode and seemed to work, I never saw it found anything but it shut itself down when it was done (or it crashed) when I was in the other room.
(edit - re-ran and while it shuts on exit, when it scanned c it found nothing, i caught it while it was still scanning d)

This is the message I get when I run avg from safe mode (when I run it in regular mode it finds nothing wrong at all):
( All your locked files are belong to us )

Virus that was logged was JS/Downloader.Agent, said it caught and moved it to quarantine or something. Computer seems to act normally.

Under that name I find solutions, but from sites I don't recognize or have reason to trust (or distrust)

Did clear the java files as described here
Lots of sites say it is just a java script, which would make sense as I didn't download or allow any software to load etc. I cleared my java cache (or tried to).
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080120003802AAAUEw9 says just run mcafree online, which I thik I will do while out because...

Liked the idea of a system restore from safe mode, but I can't find any such function in safe mode. Going to try from regular...or not, it's about time to say fuck this mess and go drink.
