oi

I think back in my kazaa days i downloaded about a trillion viruses. I'm sure I ran a bunch of em too.

That said, when i double-click .exe files my computer turns them into some 310Kb file that does nothing, and spits out a .vdx of the same name and size as the original file. this is 'bad,' because I can no longer play 'baseball stars' on my jnes.

norton doesn't detect anything, and i would look in my registry a little more carefully if i knew what to look for:/

I don't really know computers tho (so it could easily be something stupid and obvious). But I promise no more user-to-user downloads. Maybe for porn.

I know this is my stock answer but...

Backup whatever data you know is ok and reinstall. If you've been downloading random files from kazaa and your computer's doing things like that then it's really all you can do. There's things on there that no virus scanner will pick up because the person you downloaded it from wrote it

Can you verify any of the symptoms described on the site below:

http://www.viruslist.com/eng/viruslist.html?id=48278

Also, try www.mcafee.com and www.viruslist.com if you can find any usefull data (I can't.... )

You can also try running the online scanner:

Some virusses disable/kill virusscanners to remain unseen
