Hello,

yesterday I tried CCleaner and today I realised that it deleted the content of many exe files. Now they are all about 38 kb large.

What shall I do now?

Could the Windows System Recovery help?

What exe files? What were they for and where were they located?

I consider my self fairly knowledable when it comes to computers but i have not got the foggiest what you are talking about. Deleting the contents of a .exe file is not possible as far as i am aware and it was definitely not my beloved CCleaner. Maybe provide more details?

Just so a more knowledable person does not at my comments i may be wrong about the .exe. But not wrong about it was NOT CCleaner .

I'm sorry, it wasn't CCleaner, it was the virus W32/Stanit .

Do you know about that virus, antivir says, it's unrepareable.

I hate antivir. Download this free 12 months of etrust.

Make sure you uninstall antivir.

Go to the below site and do a on-line scan then install Avast anti Virus which is the best free(and then some)anti virus available.

FunkyChris only download one of those antivirus's (My pick would be Etrust but avast is good too.). If they find the worm let us know then download hijack this and post a log file :
