    Unhappy What is this virus?

    I faced a strange problem. After connecting with internet with my laptop [not connected to any network - plain personal computer], in a few moment, I receive a message saying "Your computer will be shut down in 0:60 min. RPC (Remote Procedure Call) error. Close all applications." And the machine restarts itself. After scanning the drive with AVG Antivirus, I found that VBS/Redlof is present. AVG couldn't heal the virus, but removed the infected file to a different location with renaming it.

    However, even after that I faced same problem!! When the closing dialog box appears, I tried to close it from Windows (XP Home) task manager, even though I can see the application, I couldn't kill it.

    Is it due to same virus or some other virus??

    Please help...

    PS: I also tried to remove any setting from Registry which runs any program automatically eg. HKLM, HKU/ Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run, RunOnce etc.

    Life is a one way journey, not a destination. Travel it with a smile and never regret anything.
    Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is gift - that's why we call it present.
