Has anyone ever heard of "Oil.exe"
I just want to know if anyone's ever heard of it? Is it a virus? When ever I start up my other computer (Which has a virus), it says that Oil.exe has encountered a problem...

I've never heard of it, but that doesn't mean it's a virus.
Why not Google "Oil.exe" and see what kind of results come up?

Also - I did google it on this compute, and all the results want me to download stuff, and I can't access the internet on the infected computer

just use an AV. Manually is risky and if u screw up and delete something by accident well shit.

I'm assuming you aren't using an anti-virus.. it wouldn't be a bad idea at all go to and download one. Or you can buy one from the store and use the installation disc.
Here's some free ones;
-Avira Antivir
-AVG
-Avast!
Now if you're willing to pay I would certainly take a look at these;
-ESET NOD32
-Kaspersky
Take a scan with one of those and it should be able to find it.
Well if it doesn't.. go and download prevx. It already has it in it's database and should be able to remove it.

I have over 6 AVs, none of them picked anything up, I have Avast, Avira, Norton 360, and a few others

| Go download prevx and do a scan, it should pick it up considering it's already in its database on their site.

Then download it on another computer, burn it on a disc, and copy it to yours?

The only thing I can really do is open up control panel, open task manager, and open a browser

Superantispyware
It Looks fake
But it does the job damn well as the best anti-spyware/malware
Amazing free software. I fixed hundreds of computers with this.

There is very little reason to have more than one antivirus program installed. Just use Avira (Norton spies on you, see pifts.exe).
