Sorry for the late answer to all the people sent me solutions.
At the end kaspersky AV found the virus and deleted it.
I know it will be nice I'll post the name of the virus, but due to the
overwork and other problems I forgot to write down the name.
So I'm very sorry for not posting it.
Thanks for all the answers I received.
