Need Help With A Trojan Virus

Ok, I've tried many different things to get rid of the pesky trojan virus but it keeps on coming back i really need help. If you need info here it is

The Windows i am using is Windows XP

The virus scanner i'm using is Microsoft Anti-spyware(it does more then just spyware)

and if you need to know more i will post it up

 

Try using Micrsoft's Milicous Software Removal Tool, update your Virus Scanner and run that.

 

hmmm....i don't seem to have that tool

 

download it off the ms site

 

or get Avast at avast.com , that'll kill it.. i suggest doing a at boot scan when it asks you after you install it. that will wipe it out before it can start.

(That has to be the hundreth time i said the above.. :s)

 

i use nod32 for an on acess scanner and always have avast off but use it for boot scans. It catches like everything. its sort of a resource hog though. And the boot scan takes me like an hour and a half

 

thats probably because of all the crap you have on your hdd :lol:

 

meh...avast didn't work :censored: but i'm still not going to take the easy way out please keep the help coming

 

Microsoft's Malicious thing here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=en

also, try getting Nod32, trial version. see if that helps.

Do you know where the virus is? maybe it skipped over it.. try searching only that folder for viruses..

edit: you did try the at-boot scan, correct? normally that gets rid of them... does it detect it at all?

 

i dont see how avast could of missed it on the boot scan ;( ... make sure you're definitions are up to date

 

when you download avast, it already has the latest definitions, but yeah, update the AV defs.

 

Yes, Avast detected it like every other one...but it seemed to regenerate. I think i'll call an expert tomorrow

 

i'm pretty sure i know the virus you mean.

run avast on boot, get rid of it from everywhere, then you need to:

disable system restore, this clears the system restore registry

(the virus infects system restore registry and virus scanners cannot delete things from here)

then restart computer and reenable system restore

note: any previous system restore points will be deleted.

 

use this

theres no download its a popup thing that starts scanning ur comp i used it and it picked up 3 trojans and got rid of them all


and its free

 

If it is what Pie said, that won't help. Nice try, tho.
