Hey guys!!!
I have this malware and avast detects it fine but i can’t get rid of it. It is activated and pop-ups are annoying. I was advised to move it to the chest. i did but when that did not work i deleted it. this did not work either. What should i do??? Thanx.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\otmspr.exe
Why can’t it get rid of it, what errors are displayed ?
If you have XP, vista32bit or Win2k, you could enable a boot time scan. Right click the avast icon, select Start avast! Antivirus, a memory scan will take place followed by the opening of the Simple User Interface, Menu, ‘Schedule boot-time scan…’ Or see http://www.digitalred.com/avast-boot-time.php.
Or are you saying it keeps coming back ?
If it keeps coming back, there is likely to be an undetected or hidden element to the infection that restores or downloads the file again. What is your firewall ?
If you haven’t already got this software (freeware), download, install, update and run it, preferably in safe mode and report the findings (it should product a log file).
