How can I remove this virus remnant?

My wife picked up a virus the other day and I was able to remove all of it except for this:





The virus planted a startup file somewhere and I cannot figure out where it is located. And since the name is not standard characters, I can't do a search for it. I already tried picking some characters out of the windows character map, but could not find this reference. Any suggestions?

This is on Windows XP Home SP2.

UPDATE: Case closed. I was able to find the file calls with Autoruns. Thanks *Toast :toast:

 

Help me removing this virus!!!!

Hi.

Yesterday my brother in law ask me to format his machine, It has XP. His PC was infected with the virus (or worm) AMVO.EXE, I'm not awared of that and when I plug my USB into his computer my memory got infected too......infecting my main rig later. The virus itself It's not dangerous (just don't let unhidde files via menus, need to open MS-DOS console and change file atrubutes).

This virus I was able to remove It with a script downloaded from MYGEEKS.COM 'cause any antivirus succes on remove it completely,but like a month ago a friend of mine got the same prob but MUCH more annoying 'cause when I tried to use the script the system suddenly restarted, when I tried to enter into the MS-DOS Console the system restarted and when I tried to search any info about the virus (via google, don't tried It with a different search engine) the system restarted....VERY,VERY,VERY ANNOYING.

That time I thought It was another virus, formated the PC and the virus was gone, but yesterday the same thing happened and my PC was not in the "formated" list. I wanna know if there's a way to remove it without formating or It's another virus/worm that It's causing the issue.

AND more important, I'm against using anti-virus, but I'm used to run ZoneAlarm or Bit Defender......are they good antivirus or what do you guys think is the BEST of the BEST antivirus available today????????
Many thanks for reading.

...

you get the idea. ( too lazy to put it in a for loop and test it.

or just open regedit and remove all the fileX from that key.
