Do I have a virus?

hey y'all! Anyway, it's just that when I open the McAfee Security Center, the icon appears bottom right of screen, but when I put my mouse over it, it disappears. When I go in Start->Programs->McAfee and I click to open the security center, the logo appears, but a new window doesn't open, and if I put my mouse over it it disapears... So basically I can't access my antivirus/firewall... Does this mean that right now I have none??
 
Oh wait... All links to "online virus scan" on google don't work for me... Oh no, there's still one of those bastards in my computer! I'm doing the second online virus scan, which works for me, and am waiting for the results.

EDIT: I have done a Spybot S&D search and removed the 20 entries or so that were found and am now downloading Adware SE (Byteman, link for adware doesn't work, and it's not cause of my comp, adress is http://www.download.com/Adware-Spyware-SE/3000-8022_4-10384138.html?tag=lst-0-12)

I changed the link to lavasofts website, just in case download.com decides to change their url's it won't matter. So... Link Fixed :)
 
I think it's ninfoie.exe that's doing the mess... I can't access most websites (including computerforum.com) neither Mcafee neither the COMMAND PROMPT or the Task manager!!!! I can't delete it cause it's in use of course, and i can't even go into the safe mode!! How can I do to delete it? Could I plug it in another PC which uses another hdd to work and delete it using the My computer thing? Also, could anybody check if he has xapjar.exe or similar on his computer, as it also is running, and I suspect it to be a virus!
 
Download Killbox. Copy and paste into the "full path of file to delete" C:\WINDOWS\system32\ninfoie.exe, select "delete on reboot", say no to reboot now, do the same with C:\WINDOWS\system32\xapjayr.exe and reboot when prompted.
Edit. Just had a quick look at the log, this needs to go as well.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\svmhost.exe

Thanks Buzz1927, you have fixed my problem... Killbox deleted the two files (third one didn't exist??????), and I have no more problem. Hope this lasts! Thanks alot, you have my eternal respect.


P.S I think we can all say that Killerbox is a killer program! :D :D :D
 
No problem. Just to let you know, tho, most of your problems probably came from kazaa, might be a good idea to use something a bit cleaner. Good luck.
Buzz.
 
yeah, kazza is like saying "Hey, Mr.Spyware And MRS.Ad-Ware, C'mon, Please Come And Infect My Computer" or just disabling all secutiry on your computer all together!
I would get rid or Kazza and look for another file sharing app that is cleaner. Before you download it, also read ALL the download.com reviews on it, and if it dosen't exist on download.com, post the name and that here, or even better, just keep searching.
I use one called soulseek, it is good.
