lol i’ve got the same one a week ago from a website…
but avast removed it at the second he found it… and the computer was clean like a baby ass!
lol after a couple of days i’ve decided to formart the computer just in case.
What scan are you using and what settings concerning rootkits do you have? I may be that your rootkits settings are to high. And did you run a boot-time scan? If you run a boot-time scan I advise you to keep and use default settings. It could be false positives. Try using “quick” setting for root-kits not “full”. You might consider getting MalwareBytes http://filehippo.com/download_malwarebytes_anti_malware/
And Super Anti-Spyware http://filehippo.com/download_superantispyware/
Have you had good luck with Super anti-spyware and Avast 6.0.1000? I use Avast with Outpost Free 2009 (until they fix the new security suite) and the only problems I’ve had using Avast are with Super and Ad-ware. Malwarebytes and HitmanPro have worked perfectly with my current firewall and Avast combo.
Yes, I did run a full scan, the boot-time one as well. The detected file in Java cache was deleted. I updated my Java to the latest version, too. Another full scan at March 16. found nothing.
But however, yesterday I noticed a suspicious file in my Users folder named YCemSCi.exe, created at March 14. as well. And a few temp files. Fortunately this time Avast detected them (maybe, the new definition update!). I don’t think it is a false positive.
By the way, all my settings are default (Normal).
What about SuperAntiSpyware Portable? Should I give it a try?
Both SAS and MBAM “do not” conflict with avast and play well with avast. To answer your question…yes. The best indicator is that neither have detected any nasty things as I expected. avast came through with flying colors.
I have nothing to do with Gameguard. I got this infection from a website while surfing. Cannot remember which one. But I guess it did make use of a hole in Java 6u17.
I ran SuperAntiSpyware Portable too. It works well, but found nothing except some cookies listed as adware.
