    folder.htt and desktop.ini Virus removing help

    I am suffering from a virus on my windows xp computer named folder.htt, desktop.ini and it was found by the scanning done today by my Norton antivirus. I have deleted those viruses but they are still automatically spreading on my computer. I have even done scanning in safe mode but no luck. Please help me to remove this virus. Thank you.

    Follow the methods below:

    1. Update the virus definitions.

    2. Run a full system scan and delete all the files detected as VBS.Redlof.A.

    3. Reverse the changes that the virus made to the registry.


    Note: It is strongly recommended that you back up the registry before you make any changes to it. Incorrect changes to the registry can result in permanent data loss or corrupted files. Modify only the keys that are specified.

    1. Click Start, and then click Run. (The Run dialog box appears.)

    2. Type regedit and then click OK. (The Registry Editor opens.)

    3. Navigate to the key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

    4. In the right pane, delete the value:
    Kernel32

    5. Navigate to the key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\[Default Use ID]\Software\
    Microsoft\Outlook Express\[Outlook Version].0\Mail

    6. In the right pane, delete the values:
    Compose Use Stationery
    Stationery Name
    Wide Stationery Name

    7. Navigate to the key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Outlook\Options\Mail

    8. In the right pane, delete the value:
    EditorPreference

    9. Navigate to and delete these subkeys:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllFile\Shell
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllFile\ShellEx
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllFile\ScriptEngine
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllFile\ScriptHostEncode

    10. Exit the Registry Editor.

    Re: folder.htt and desktop.ini Virus removing help

    Redlof is polymorphic virus that embeds itself without any attachment to every e-mail sent from the infected system. It executes when an infected email message is viewed The HTML.Redlof.A is a very pestering virus. From what I gather, neither does it create any loss of data nor does it send any personal information across the net.But what it does is horrible. It actually comes in the form of a script. The script is copied onto several other .htm, .html, .vbs, .asp, .htt, .jsp files on your hard drive. Then whenever any of these files are executed, the script is copied onto more files which create more files and so on.VBS/Redlof.A@m executes directly from an infected message by using a security vulnerbility in Internet Exlorer known as Microsoft VM ActiveX Control Vulnerability. More information about the vulnerability and a fix is available from Microsoft:
    http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec...n/ms00-075.asp

    The virus also infects files with extensions "htm", "html", "asp", "php", "jsp", "htt" or "vbs".Redlof drops the following infected files:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Stationery\blank.html\Windows\System\Kernel 32.dll\Windows\web\kjwall.gif\Windows\system32\des ktop.ini"blank.html" is used to replace the default stationaries for both Outlook and Outlook Express via registry causing that the every message sent from an infected system will carry the virus.The "Kernel32.dll" is also set to registry so that it will be executed on the system restart:HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVer sion\Run\Kernel32

    Firstly In windows Platform, Search all Folder.htt and also Desktop.ini . And then Delete all them.

    Then Make Format the Pc and reinstall windows. You can get fresh windows without any Folder.htt
