OK, so a little while ago avast found a Trojan on my computer, but when I tried to delete/move/rename/no action or anything like that it just kept popping up. and then like 7 others kept popping up!!!
I researched it and it’s a backdoor Trojan called Trojan.DownLoader.8933 and it lets other viruses into your comp!!! Please help because Avast wont get rid of the virus!!! ;__; :‘( :’( :‘( :’(
What is your OS ?
What is your firewall (as this should stop unauthorised internet access, required by downloaders) ?
What was the file name, where was it found example (C:\windows\system32\infected-file-name.xxx) ?
Why could avast not move/delete, etc. what error messages ?
If you haven’t already got this software (freeware), download, install, update and run it, preferably in safe mode. Ewido anti-spyware If using winXP. or a-Squared free if using win98/ME.
If the above method does not give the required result, you download Qooofix from here : http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Qoofix-Download-44032.html
Put Qoofix in C:, close all browser and explorer folders, choose option Qooofix and autofix. Please wait the 5 min for the procedure to be run.
Glad that we could help and you really need a firewall.
Any malware that manages to get past your defences will have free reign to connect to the internet to either download more of the same, pass your personal data (user names, passwords, keylogger retrieved data, etc.) or open a backdoor to your computer, so outbound protection is essential.
