Remove Kavo Easily
For the past few days, my laptop anti-virus has detected and removed the “Autorun-G” virus/trojan but that damn virus kept on re-appearing! This is what was reported by Avast! AV
Avast! Warning:
File Name: C:\autorun.inf
Malware-Name: INF:Autorun-G [Trj]
Malware-Type: Trojan Horse
VPS Version: 071205-0, 05-12-2007
So I googled on this and found out this virus is also known as Kavo or NTDELECT, as the kavo.exe will re-create files that will re-infect your pc. There are many people who got infected as well and can’t find an easy solultion.
Some tips that I found were quite long and required you to reboot into Safe Mode, delete some files and registry entries, which makes me pretty uncomfortable.
However, I found this site which has a link to a simple removal tool named “Kavo Killer” for Win2000 and WinXP. My PC is WinXP Pro so I tried it and it works! Yeay!
If your windoze computers are infected with this as well and your anti-virus can’t remove it, you can try this but do so at your OWN RISK, I will not be held responsible if the software caused any irreplaceable damage to your PC or data. Also, let me remind you that this tool is for systems running Windows 2000 and Windows XP ONLY.
The software is written in chinese btw. So I don’t know what it says, however you just need to click one button to make it work.
Ok if you still want to try, follow these steps.
- Disable “System Restore” on your System (Accessories > System Tools > System Restore)
- Click here to download this file
- Unzip and extract it anywhere
- Restart your PC in safe mode (for WinXP, before the WinXP screen comes in, press F8 repeatedly until you come to the start-up options)
- Locate the exe file and double-click on it
- Click on the top right-most button (the only button with an icon)
- When finished. Reboot
- Just to be sure, set your anti-virus to scan at boot time and restart again to make sure the Kavo.exe is no more
That’s it. Let me know if this post has helped you.

Thank you, mrBadak! The method worked! yeah! Like a charm!
Thank you, chinese guy (who wrote the program)!!!
Actually, I had done some research on this program when Kavo.exe, kavo0.dll kavo1.dll … was stuck onto my computer. I found out that you also have to remove a small autorun.inf file as well on the root C drive and any other flash drives connected to the computer. I also found out that if you use Spyware Doctor, you can remove the copy from the registry, C:\WINDOWS\System32\kavo.exe, C:\WINDOWS\System32\kavo0.dll, and C:\WINDOWS\System32\kav*.*. (the first star is any number and the second star could be dll or exe.) This program has been a struggle for many Virus removal programs and many softwares could not fix it. I even remembered having McAfee struggle to remove it. (BTW, Charles Tan, this Trojan is made in 2004 at South Korea, not at Taiwan. I remembered reading it from an article.)
few days ago, my taiwanese lab-mate gave me this kavo killer. i tried it few minutes ago and it works just fine.
and i didnt do in in safe mode and so far i have no problem, btw he gave me .exe file
[...] yang pengen kenalan bisa baca di sini atau sini atau sini. kalo saya sendiri curiga si kavo lah penyebab kalo mengklik drive maka terbuka jendela baru, usb [...]
Awesome solution! Thank you very much….
Thanks a lot ,thanks many times thanks
well ok, i got the same problem
ok, i turned off system restore, and when i went to reboot my system in safe mode, it went to a command prompt screen loading my drivers, then freezes there..
how can i get my laptop to load up in safe mode?
Hey man – thanks for the step-by-step guide – been searching on how I can remove this “Autorun-G” (NTLECT) etc virus – all sweet now. Cheers.
Some of our computer here in the office having trojan virus. I don’t know what it does but I noticed some pop up ads in the new window and I really hate closing it over and over. Our technician has deleted it but it was still there. Maybe your trojan virus killer can help us. Thank you for the information.
Does this exe known in the internet? Have you read any reviews from it?
I want to remove the kavo.exe, thanks for this post :)
