zalternate Posted January 25, 2009 CID Share Posted January 25, 2009 Dammit!! I was on guest account last night and I had a notice that Ihad 32 trojans on my puter. It recommended if I recall correctly something to download to remove it called Internet Pro. You have a nasty one. It is sometimes hard to remove. """""""don't download it as it is a virus.""""""" you are already infected with it. Probably wants money after it scans too to remove the bugs it 'ahem' finds.. Use the HiJackthis to find parts of it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zalternate Posted January 25, 2009 CID Share Posted January 25, 2009 Heres a list of fix it programs...... Run them all in safe mode. Which is Restarting computer and while tapping F8 during boot to get in to safe mode. Delete system restore points as well. Update all protections after download for latest definitions. http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/tools/security_tools/hijackthis http://www.hijackthis.de/ Automated file check for the log. http://www.zonealarm.com/store/content/home.jsp Firewall to know when stuff is trying to get out of your system.

zalternate Posted January 25, 2009 CID Share Posted January 25, 2009 pixiepistlz Just needs to find where the little basstard is hiding. Post the log and we can see. Some of these new virus are interesting in their methods. Sit in a folder and count down and launch and then go put a backup somewhere else in case they get found. But the Manual virus are still out there. Part of the program gets in and then pops up a fake security warning looking for the user to okay the rest of the Virus download. ActiveX virus are famous for that. Wifes Aunt had a fake warning come up on a site that it needed to have her install an ActiveX control to view content. She was already infected. But the ActiveX just makes it that much easier to control the system. Heres some information to the name given... http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Internet+pro+antivirus&btnG=Search Remember to only read the help and beware of any fake cures... http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/malware-removal/remove-internet-antivirus I only have ever had a Cool Web Search(WWW) I think it was, in the early days using Internet Explorer. Only partly downloaded and not yet active, but SpyBot found it and removed. Otherwise there was only the crapware that came with the computer. FireFox was named Phoenix and then FireBird at the time.

pixiepistlz Posted January 25, 2009 Author CID Share Posted January 25, 2009 Took Tommie's suggestion in chat and got the Ad-aware downloaded and installed and it got over 30 critical objects off. It was so bad that my scans were about frozen. It was taking hours for a 20minute scan. After I got off YIM with tommie , it started up. Guess YIM pulls alot. so, I stopped scan, went to safe and it got all the ones it had while I was out of safe and more and took only about 20 minutes. Then after , I did A- square and Super Anti-spyware, followed by V-cleaner. all in safe mode. I left the puter on all night and this morning. It hasn't been shut off since and its almost 1:30 pm. So far on the guest file , its running smoothly. Oh, And my AVG popped up 3 times last night in the middle of YIM and the 1st scan. ...4 Trojans found (Multiple threat on the last). I removed them. I should have printed the screen after I done my safe mode scan to show you , but hey, it was late and I wasn't thinking. Went to bed about 3:30 this morning. Yeah, this puter gets babied. It's my connection to the outside world .I am basically a hermit. I need to change that someday. May download the Malware protection one Coknuck has. Thanks guys from the bottom of my heart. :smitten: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
