Help needed please

[kaza]

Can anyone help me please? I am an inexperienced computer user , so desperate for help.

When i start up the computer runs chkdsk every time, but i still get an error saying iamapp.exe file corrupt and unreadable run chkdsk. I cant defrag cos it says run chkdsk( which i cant understand cos it runs everytime i switch it on?) .

I have recently had computer freeze and other error msgs, however i have just downloaded the suggested programmes avg7, spybot, adaware se and spyware blaster, between them they found loads of problems and fixed them, but i still get the chkdsk and file corrupt msg.

Any help greatefully recieved

Thanks
karen

Karen you got a worm
read below you will find your .exe file listed
Here is your removal instructions scroll down to bottom its free....
I would type it myself but it is easy to show you the link.....
http://securityresponse.symantec.com...2.kalm@mm.html


W32.Kalm@mm is a worm that is written in VB. When it runs, it does the following:

It copies itself as:

%windir%\Setup.exe
%system\Setup32.exe

NOTES:
%windir% is a variable. The worm locates the Windows installation folder (by default this is C:\Windows or C:\Winnt) and copies itself to that location.
%system% is a variable. The worm locates the System folder and copies itself to that location. By default this is C:\Windows\System (Windows 95/98/Me), C:\Winnt\System32 (Windows NT/2000), or C:\Windows\System32 (Windows XP).

The worm then creates the file C:\Lymak.exe.bat. This batch file deletes all files and subfolders in:
%Windir%\Cursor\
%Windir%\Temp\
%Windir%\Command\
%Windir%\System\
%Windir%\System32\
%Windir%\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\System Tools\

The batch file also deletes registry files and some antivirus program files.

The worm modifies C:\Autoexec.bat by adding instructions to format drive C. Symantec antivirus programs detect Autoexec.bat if it is modified by the worm.

The worm attempts to stop these antivirus and firewall program processes:
Aplica32.exe
Cfiadmin.exe
Cfiaudit.exe
Cfinet32.exe
Cfinet.exe
Iamserv.exe
Iamapp.exe
Pcfwallicon.exe
Vshwin32.exe
Vsecomr.exe
Webscanx.exe
Avconsol.exe
Vsstat.exe
Navapw32.exe
Navw32.exe
_Avpm.exe
Avpm.exe
Lockdown2000.exe

duaneion7 - Thanks for your reply mmm Im still not sure though, I have run norton like it said but im getting the message live update could not retrieve the update list. So ive run it anyway and its not found anything probably cos its out of date!. Ive run avg which is uptodate and it hasnt found it, Ive been into avg encyclpedia of worms and found it as i-worm.scezda, but it doesnt say how to remove it. so i ran the virus cleaner, but still not found it

So how do i remove the worm please.

Sorry if these questions are really simple, but if i can sort this you'll have saved me a lot of money , cos I was about to take the computer to pcworld.

Once again thanks for any help.
