The Win32 Heur virus is a nasty little bugger that will slow down your computer; cause you to be re-directed to websites; and pop up odd boxes at startup.

This file lies in the Windows folder as well in the registry.  A manual removal is not possible since this virus contains a .bat executable that repeatedly loads after attempting to remove it.

Typically, you’ll need a couple of different anti-spyware and anti-virus software to get rid of this malicious trojan.  A couple of good free software programs to use are: AVG Free, Spybot Search & Destroy, and Malware Bytes

Please make sure to remove this trojan immediately before it’s too late.  Too late means that you might have to have a computer repair technician recover your files and reinstall Windows for you.

You may avoid this virus by staying away from P2P sites, such as Limewire and others where you can download free music, photos and files.
