My Nortan 2005 is indicating that this file living in system32 is a Trojan Horse. I removed it, but at bootup, it is always trying to be executed. Any idea what the deal is? I tried to remove the call to it via msconfig, but it keeps coming back.
I have Windows xp. If I have a Trojan Horse on my pc, is it safe still to use it? or should I wait till I can get the TH off of here? What exactly will it do to my machine?
it seems that every year when norton internet security is nearing renewal our computer starts having major problems.
this year i delayed renewing til five days (sept. 10th) before expiration (sept. 15th).
1) the modem would dial up but only at 7kbps, 9kbps, but finally would get to a normal amount of kbps. a couple days later, all the settings for internet dial up were getting screwed up and upon correcting it all-they'd get screwed up again.
2) i called our internet's tech support a few times, followed their suggestions, finally being told that the modem most likely has gone bad. we have an old external modem, which i decided to hook up

After running Antivirus, I found I have a Trojan Horse virus. It cannot be deleted, quarantined, or cleaned. All attempts failed. I then put computer in safe mode and ran Norton, but virus didn't show. Cleaned out registry, still to no avail. What can I do to get rid of this virus?? Filename: oeiuxr.dll and it located in windowssystem32. Also had over 60 of the trojan.elitebar, but was able to clear all of them. This trojan horse is the only remaining. HELP!
I picked up a virus alert the other day trojan horse edmond and all the anti virus programs that I have run have been to no avail. I keep getting c:windowsisrvsedmond.exe. followed by the file will not let you in. It is getting to the stage that our current tech person is going to the extent of say that I am going to have to reformate my harddrive possibly loosing a great deal of information
I think my computer has a worm. I've been using A2 and Ad-aware to try to clean it up, unsuccessfully. It says it found trojan horses and eliminated them but they're always back. - My automatic updates are shut off, can't fix it. - My service Pack 2 disappeared, along with the firewall. - Sophos became disabled. - My CD drive is only recognized periodically
Ok so apparently someone hijacked a trusted freinds instant messenger screen name sent me an link in the IM window I clicked on it thinking it was my freind and AVG pops up and says a virus was found. So I quarantined it and though I was safe. When I restarted my computer I keep getting AVG poping up telling me the same viurus has been detected and then a website tries to automatically open in IE.
The computer is lagging alot.I think i know why also, I did a search for the horse, found its file and deleted it.Ever since then my MSN messenger, IE, firefox ect have been lagging.Such as, MSN messanger will take 5-8 seconds before I can do anything to it.I uninstalled firefox, and msn then reinstalled them, but it didnt help any.I've done a virus scan.Oh yeah, the Tojan Horse was rlvknlg.exe
My computer has detected that I have a virus called "Trojan Horse." I think it is really slowing down my computer big time.What can I do to fix this?I was told to do the "HIJACK" this. The following is what came up:
Logfile of HijackThis v1.97.3 Scan saved at 7:36:28 PM, on 6/23/2005 Platform: Windows XP SP1 (WinNT 5.01.2600) MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP1 (6.00.2800.1106)
I have dowloaded AVG anti virus and when i run a scan the following virus appear Trojan Horse Generic. Once this has been detected the search freezes and I cant delete this virus cos the PC freezes. Can I search and delete this virus in another way. I think it is this that is causing my pc to freeze and restart when connecting to the net
I have just gone through all the steps above because i have the same trojan horse, the dreaded startpage.j.19 but what i have realized is after the CW Shredder takes out both about:blank and the 2nd from last problem....i restart...and they are back there....even if i scan it straight after solving the problem it is there again!! i have done a HJT file and a Shredder file to show what i have to see if you can pin pint the problem....because after a short period of time online the startpage virus comes back
I've got this **** virus that hijacks your homepage and generally drives you crazy. I've run Spybot, Adware, Norton, etc and they clean everything except this virus. I've run HJT and will post the log here. Oddly enough I think I go tthis yesterday while updating XP from the Microsoft site.
One other possibly related thing is that I can run more than one user account simultaneously. If I try to switch to another user account it just cycles and then comes right back to the log on screen.
Here's the log files from a few mintes ago. Was tempted to delete it all but being a novice I figured I'd blow up the whole system.
My daughters computer has something called "Trojan horse downloader Generic 4.ZQI, this has caused all sorts of problems with connecting onto the internet and has slowed the computer.
while running a scan with ad-aware it seemed to trigger an alert from norton antivirus(i know) that a virus had been detected, the ad-aware scan came up clean as did a spybot scan but im still left with the virus which is a trojan horse called c:/windows/system32/test3adll, now im not exactly sure what the best course of action should be, would i be right in entering the file details in the search bar of the start menu, making a floppy of the file just in case its needed for some other purpose, switching off system restore while i delete it and immediately switching system restore back on, any advice/help in dealing with this problem will be much appreciated
a Trojan Horse called Spy Falcon on my machine. I have all the required stuff since it's a new machine, and now I can't get it off. If you could suggest a free download site to remove this, and if not, could you recommend a site that is pretty inexpensive
I have this software called SWF Sound Automation Tool, whenever I uses windows movie maker when I click on audio file, something pops up saying windows want to configure swf sound automation tool, and then it pops up some kind of error saying cannot write value to key etc, and I need to do cancel on the pop up and sometimes it hangs. Then my norton protection will pop up saying it blocks a trojan horse.
I tried to delete the software from control panel-remove software it doesn't work, then I do regedit and delete the entry in the uninstall area, however the control panel area still shows this software but it does not give remove button there anymore. However the problem still exists and hangs my movie maker! And I have no where to delete anything anymore, why this stupid software never goes away!
Does any computer wiz out there know of an anti-virus site that will remove the rojan horse virus free? I know that all downloads are free,but once they find all the infected files,they won't remove them with out u paying for them
I have of lot of trojans and can't seem to get rid of them I have ran Spy Bot,Avast,Ad-Aware,Stop Sign and found a 1 Trojan in reg32.exe =trojan.low zones 2 downloaded program files says: Trojan.downloader1097 3 System 32 sygate = Win32.HLLW.MyBot.based 4 Avenue Media Internet Optimizer Software Package = Possible spyware Application 5 Appropos Media People On Page Application = Possible Spyware
I'm not sure if security settings were changed, but, when you get the page that website can't open and it tells you the site might be having problems or, to check your security settings, well, I get this parital page on the top of some sites or side, where there's probably suppose to be advertising. I find it kind of distracting and would like to get rid of it. I can't find where my settings were changed, and what would have caused this.
I teach at a university. It's final test time. I keep some private files (tests, scores, etc.) on a USB key at work, and some old tests on my HDD. My computer is hard-wired into a static IP address. I also have a D-Link DIR-300 router in between (not sure if it even has a firewall). I was using my USB key today, and something odd happened.My most important files (tests) I keep locked-up with encryption software called Truecrypt, which requires me to enter a password to unlock a secret USB key partition. I had that folder open today, after working with it, and was sitting at my desk interviewing a student for about 10 minutes. Then I went to close out the encrypted drive (which appears as a HDD on My Computer after I enter a password to access it). That's when something odd happened. The message that popped-up basically said that some of the files on that drive were "in use" by 2 other processes, and if I closed it, then those other processes would lose out. That bugged me a bit, because I wondered just what processes were running in there? I have updated anti-virus software on that machine, and it wasn't doing a scan at the time. Usually the drive just closes-out with no warnings like this.
Then, later this afternoon, I left my computer on and went to class. It's set to sleep on its own after 30 minutes. It didn't. The screen was frozen at my wallpaper with no icons. I then tried to CTRL-ALT-DELETE, and another message popped-up that said (again, paraphrasing), "Two other users are accessing this machine. If you shut down now, the connection will be broken." So now I'm wondering. who the heck are these other users, and what's going on? I don't seem to be sharing anything on purpose. Is it possible that someone is sneaking around inside of my machine? I'm assuming network administrators at work can do this if they want. Do you think that's what was happening? The thing that bothers me about that is that they sometimes employ PT students to help with IT. Could a student have gotten access to my entire machine somehow? Again, my antivirus software is up-to-date (Microsoft Essentials), and I switched to a trial of Kaspersky 2011 after today just out of curiousity after this happened.
The Windows XP machine that my sister is using is having quite the issue. Whenever she views a folder in her My Pictures folder from Windows Explorer, in Photoshop, or when uploading to something onto the internet, it closes down. To be more specific, in the above three cases it closes Explorer (including the task bar), Photoshop, and the browser, depending on the method of viewing the pictures. It comes up with a submit error dialogue box, which along with the error logs don't seem to help me very much (unless you have a better understanding of them).The only changes I can account for was the instillation of one or two LAN remote viewing programs, although one of them runs as is (so wouldn't count as installing). Before that I uninstalled a lot of programs from that computer because I have this new Vista Ultimate machine and they said they didn't want all that "crap" on that computer anymore. I wouldn't blame them.
