Title: HELP... Trojan virus Post by: Jim-D on July 09, 2006, 10:54:49 PM I keep getting a virus alert from Avast saying a trojan has been detected and I aint got a clue what to do, so was wondering if anybody could help.
I click on properties in the chest and i get this message: Virus has been detected! File Name: ld20C3.tmp FileID: 12 Virus Description: Win32:Small-TF [Trj] Title: Re: HELP... Trojan virus Post by: Wardonkey on July 09, 2006, 11:12:05 PM Soumds like Avast has caught it for you and is telling you about it.
Does it happen when you open particular webpage? Title: Re: HELP... Trojan virus Post by: Jim-D on July 09, 2006, 11:22:36 PM No, im just surfing blonde and pokerwire.
It has happened 4/5 times in the last 2 hours, I've moved it to chest and it still manages to come back Title: Re: HELP... Trojan virus Post by: Jim-D on July 09, 2006, 11:27:08 PM It seems to be 2 differant things, the other one is: File Name: ldDF85.tmp
FileID: 15 Virus Description: Win32:Zlob-BN [Trj] Which comes directly after the other one. Title: Re: HELP...

I would disconnect from the internet until you have cleaned the machine.

As for the original problem, go onto the symantec website and run their online scanners (there are 2). Or google online scanner. Title: Re: HELP... Trojan virus Post by: Eck on July 10, 2006, 12:04:58 AM sorry if that is bad advice but it worked on mine under advice from a mate who i would regard as an "expert".

Title: Re: HELP... Trojan virus Post by: ifm on July 10, 2006, 01:03:38 AM try the spyware scanner mate
Title: Re: HELP... Trojan virus Post by: Jim-D on July 10, 2006, 01:07:02 AM any spyware scanner?
Title: Re: HELP... Trojan virus Post by: M3boy on July 10, 2006, 01:07:49 AM More likely spyware - sounds like a temp internet file.
First, clean out your temp internet files (online and offline), THEN : Download, update and run "spybot" and "adaware" - both are free You should be ok then :) Title: Re: HELP... Trojan virus Post by: M3boy on July 10, 2006, 01:12:51 AM Oh, and as for "system restore" being the best thing microsoft ever invented?!?!??! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You CANNOT rid your system of a virus if you have this running - virus hide in the "windows protected" files and CANNOT be cleaned UNTIL you turn system restore off. Advise if you ever reload your machine/buy a new hard drive : 1) Buy 2 of the hard drives (exact same type sizze etc...) I would recomend maxtor purely as they have free cloning drive software on their site. 2) Install your o/s AND software that you use - ie get the new drive to hpw you want your system to be 3) Hook up the 2nd hard drive, clone the contents of the first drive to it 4) disconnect the 2nd drive and store it somewhere safe. In the event of a system faliure, re connect the 2nd drive and clone the contents back to the first drive, and your system is restored to its origional state. Title: Re: HELP...

Just came up with this via another scanner Title: Re: HELP... Trojan virus Post by: Bongo on July 10, 2006, 10:38:54 AM That seems to be a file that AOL's spyware program has removed but kept a backup of incase you would like to restore it.

You CANNOT rid your system of a virus if you have this running - virus hide in the "windows protected" files and CANNOT be cleaned UNTIL you turn system restore off. Viruses don't "hide" in the restore folder, windows can backup a virus in this folder as part of sys restore functionality. To remove this you need to switch it off, reboot and run a scan. Then RE ENABLE it, it is an excellent bit of kit, invaluable. |
