WARNING.......Lot of clients reports losing files

[ilubombadil]

As of today a lot of clients are reporting to have lost files from a virus. I checked tha PC`s and nothing was reported by Panda, Mcafee or symantec.

As sure as an Engineer that I am there has to be somthing wrong that's going on. The only simptom found and not in all de PC was the occurrence of some .pif files as msdos shorcut that when properties examined couldn't show the path tab.

Still on study.......someone else heard of this problem?

I wouldn't say this is news ... But at any rate. Have you tried Hijackthis (Post the log here please), Adaware, and Spybot?

Yes I've tried, spybot........I did see that Kazaa was loaded and P2P (don't like both of them) on th client and also some HKLM=AXVRZT"% that I took out from the registry myself. Nothing else, apart from the .pif files that gave any hint of virus.

And if Panda was updated, and also runned stinger.exe and nothing. What comes........

Thanks for your time to reply, really appreciated.
