Spuffy78 Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 (edited) So I've got this high risk Trojan.I've used a Trojan Remover to get rid of some parts of it but it's still there.I try to download AVG but it just says the files are corrupt and I can't access btjunkie to get a torrent to get AVG.I can't do system restore either since the Trojan blocked that.

Black Sabbath Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Yeah, that's what I was going to suggest aswell. It helped me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spuffy78 Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 I installed it removed some of the viruses but not entirely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max™ Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I installed it removed some of the viruses but not entirely.I know this sounds crazy but it isn't. Turn off system restore and delete all restore points. Its common knowledge that viruses 'hang out' in there.So how do you know that you've still got a virus? Popups? Slowness?

Spuffy78 Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 Slowness and my Trojan Detector keeps saying it's detecting one but each time it says I try to remove it says some Trojans weren't removed.I really appreciate the help.

Max™ Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Does it give any filename in particular?Download and run HiJackThis. Do a scan and post the log here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highvoltage Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Try running the scan in safe mode - kills off most viruses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GET OFF AXLS BACK Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Its rare but many viruses actually behave like Microsoft warnings, for example i had one recently that mimicked vista's security centre warning advising me my firewall and anti virus were turned off.I kept getting pop ups for the "Security Centre" as well as warning symbols flashing in notification area.I downloaded Super anti spy ware and it sorted out the problem, some times they miss problems so its best to run a few different anti spy ware programmes.The prblem with system restore is not knowing when a computer was infected, you might be restoring to a point in time where the virus was present just not active, many are triggered by system restore as its used by less experienced users in a panic.
