I got the Win32.Polip virus and have worked for a week trying to get rid of it
I ran BitDefender on all my files and it said it fixed the files (it changed the Icon to a dos Icon), only Norton and AVG still found the virus in the files that BitDefender said it fixed.
I ran Dr. Web and it said all the files were clean, but the exe were dead! And I didn't want to delete them.
I got a bright idea (very seldom do I get those) and changed the extension from exe to zip on several of these files.
I ran Dr. Web again and it found the virus and cured it
I changed the extension back to exe and the icon changed back to original.
I ran Norton and Avg on these files and NO VIRUS WAS DETECTED.
I installed the programs with no hitch. Check my system for Virus's and everything was Clear.
This Worked for me I hope it works for you, so you don't have to get the files again.
