Has anyone ever heard of or had the jeefo virus on their computer?

W32/Jeefo-A infects Windows PE executables with an extension of EXE and a filesize greater than 102,399 bytes, in all folders of all fixed drives C: to Z:.

The virus runs continuously in the background, infecting files at periodic intervals.

When an infected file is run, the virus dropper is extracted to the Windows folder as SVCHOST.EXE and the virus disinfects the host executable, although not all infected files will be successfully returned to their original state.

Been their. Downloaded their program. I think it worked. I've had this virus about 2 months, but only discovered it yesterday. Re-installed windows, because it wasn't working anymore. All seems fine now. Running virus removal programs all the time and downloading a new one as I write this

install avast, that should solve the problem, also, use the online scanner provided by trend just to make sure:

The Win32.Jeefo is a very nasty virus that infects all .exe files on a machine.

My best advice is to download the following free removal tools:

In some cases it can corrupt .exe files beyond repair and the only option is a complete OS re-install.

Hmmm...it sounds similar to the Tenga virus, which also infects and corrupts all exe's and eventually windows itself

Pesky bugger - had it at one of my clients.

Caught it in time, otherwise the damage would have been worse. All in all it damaged one application which tried to reinstall itself, and fails - over and over again.

That I fixed, but was glad that it was only one application which was affected.

Pesky bugger.

Boot with linux disk and install. Fixes any win32 virus

This virus once destroyed all the data i had on all my disks. It attacks your .exe files, so you end up losing them all, and have a few hundred gigs of useless data.

gy virus

I have found that several pc's at my campus have a virus that creates .exe files in almost all folders. The .exe file looks like a Folder icon but in actual fact it is a exe. It also has a company name "gy", It also attaches it self to removable storage devices and I have found that there is a process running with the name "86786.com", it first appeared last week, we cleaned the PC's that had the virus (NOD232) even had it formatted, but the nasy bugger is back. If anyone knows where this virus originates from or who has been infected Please let me know.

Ye that lame virus hitched a ride on my flashdrive from UCT. I think it came from Scilab C in the R.W. James Building. I'm sure I've probably spread it to the MCB building as well.

I'm sure that scilab was absolutely rife with all sorts of viruses including human ones
