Answer 1

i had exactly th same problem and i posted a Q i got ans which helped me a lot .u cannot delete them because they might be running.u cannot use SYSTEM RESTORE cuz it deletes all the previous restore points.if u have turned system restore off before being infected.then u can restore to earlier p[oints.DO THIS TRUST ME I GOT RID OF ATHAT c**p USING THIS METHOD.

first uninstall AVG and install AVAST from download.com

RUN a boot time scan to find viruses hiding in memory

first do a scan with super anti spyware thgis app scans and find that ANTI VIRUS XP2008 which is actually a ROUGUE ANTIVIRUS which makes false statements and will remove that .after it has been removed

go to start programs and type msconfig

in start ups uncheck the one with a random name like hcccffgghh

THATS IT that c**p is OUT of ur pc and our sys is safe.

Answer 2

Firstly, antivirus programs will NOT remove these as they are malicious codecs, although they may find reference to them and remove it but upon rebooting it's back again.

Therefore you need to use a 'layered' approach to removing this parasite.

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware:

http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Ant...

Download, install, update and select Full Scan.

Remove all infections that it finds after scan.

Spybot S&D:

http://www.safer-networking.org/en/downl...

Download, install, update and Immunize, then click 'Check for problems' then when complete select all and then 'Fix Checked'

SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition:

http://www.download.com/SUPERAntiSpyware...

Download, install, check for updates, then select Scan your Computer, select your drive and select Perform Complete Scan

Lavasoft Virtumonde Remover will find and clean the variants of the Virtumonde (a.k.a Vundo Trojan), that integrate tightly with the operating system, causing some scanners to bluescreen windows

If your desktop has changed or icons are missing also use:

Wallpaper Hijacker Removal Tool:

Note: You should hit all "Repair" buttons even though it may not say "Found!" This will fix a wallpaper hijack everytime if all repair buttons are pressed.

Answer 3

Try spybot search and destroy,it worked for me

Answer 4

the problem is the file is still in use.

hit ctrl+alt+del once and you'll see task manager

one of those system processes running is using this KLG.DAT.

you need to end processes one at a time until the file is released and

can be deleted.   I agree a good way to do this is reboot in safe mode.

or you can hit start -> run -> msconfig... it will give you options to

restart without any extra programs starting, this antivirus xp program

plants itself there in your startup folder.. uncheck it so it won't start.

reboot and then re-run your antivirus scans.

sadly, my wife picked up this bug, I killed it and removed it, but now

the computer shuts itself off at night.  

I'll be watching your answers, maybe someone's seen this before.

The manual uninstall can be found here:

But I believe there is a nice program called Malware Bits that will take this program off.  Just do a scan in safe mode and you should be fine...
