yesterday i got a virus after downloading a zipped file. my computer slowed down to a crawl. I did a hijackthis scan and found this file C:\Program Files\Common Files\tysarekb\zamsdyg.exe . avg did not detect it
i tried to delete it but of course i received a cant delete file is in use message. eventually I found it in the reg files and deleted it. Has anyone seen or heard of this virus/malware?

Looks like a rootkit - Might be time to try running every scanner you have while in Safe Mode.

Later if it doesn't work - format and re-install.

I keep telling Windows users to do this. Never seem to advise Mac or Linux users to do this!
