I have a virus on my pc(Backdoor.Hackarmy.gen) that avast can’t detect.What is was doing last:i was on a newsgroup i saw that Osama was hanged.I was downloading the file and there was a .exe file in.I have checked with Avast he says its clean but now i am infected with that virus.How can i remove this virus from my pc?
Edit=I have looked by Kaspersky and he knows the virus.and the virus name is in the title
P.S.: you should exercise some common sense when surfing/using the net, otherwise NO AV-Scanner will be able to protect you (as NO AV-Scanner detects everything…)
I said “VARIANTS”, which means that your GENeric naming/detection is very similar to the other BackDoor.Hackarmy variants listed there…
Browse through the 10 pages and follow the RED links with descriptions/instructions
if avast doesn’t detect it, then probably a boot-time scan won’t help either, but you can try and see if avast recognizes some of the files created by the Backdoor
Additional scanners/ressources/Tools you’ll find in the “VirusRemoval” link (did I mention this before?).
you might also decide to format & reinstall PROPERLY
P.S.: Please send the downloaded/backdoor-file to avast, so they can include it in the virus definitions… Thx
Question to WHOCARES or any other person with knowledge of a/v industry . does AVAST share virus definitions with other a/v companies and in turn have definitions referred to them from within the industry?
