Whocares~ Thanks for the help. :slight_smile: I didn’t get anything when
I ran the SFC /scannow. The black creen poped up once and
nothing then left. I hope that is good neews??
Thanks for your help too.

  • and go start → run, then enter:
    SFC /scannow
    if the file was changed/infected you should get an alert there

:wink:

P.S.: The update VPTNfile.212 from Housecall definitely doesn’t contain
BKDR_Agent.CZ
How about an Update & rescan ? :wink:

Almost right, it should be:
start > run > cmd > (on the command prompt) sfc /scannow

I haven’t finished that command run yet.
The last time I tried, it was successful however it took forever
so it will probablly await behind a few more things I am now
retrying the trend micro and the Bit defender.

I have found my Spybot (Thanks to Biit defender, I now know
it was revealed) was badly infected and the rebates that were
revealed by Hijack Logger … they before hand wouldn’t delete.
I since have removed all of them including the folder/files
relating to them. I did also notice another person with a spybot
complaint. They were attacked the same day as I was
(initially last Sunday) so I plan to look into that more before I
re-download another Spybot. I had it for about 16months though
and it was an updated version.
Also I now have the update 2pack windows security package it
seem to be running okay but was cautioned by an online friend
to first remove the other firewall cuz with the MS one it would
cause problems; so I have done that. I am using I.E 6.0 -
I believe by what I saw that is the most up to date I can
get and now my Lavasoft is coming up with 0 bugs!! Which
is a first!!
I believe I’m up to date on all the Microsoft updates etc.

The original file that was found to be infected ‘smss.exe’ no
longer is coming up bad with TrendMicro. There is so much to
learn and I wanna let you know I appreciate everything!!
Thanks guys, you guys are terrific!!

I have a ? Eddy?? I am going to run that command run but
first need to know about how long does it take. I’m asking
in case it stands there for too long, I don’t know what to
expect. thankz. BTW ty for all your assitance. My puter
appears to be all good now. The final scanner Scanning
said ‘successful. No viral code found.’. ;D I’d kiss you but
I have a real virus, lol can I hug ya!! :smiley:
