Avast detects the blaster and sasser worm without problems, also the bored/guru infection is detected by Avast without problems. So why it doesn’t on your moms comp (which should have been patched in the first place a long time ago!) is a little riddle we have to solve.
Both with blaster and sasser there was a patch released prior to the release of the worm, so if a system still gets infected it is the users own fault imo.
Hijackt this doesn’t find any virus, spyware, adware, malware. It just displays a list of items from which YOU have to find out what they are and what should be kept/removed.
Some infections disable the AV software. Not saying this happened here, but it could be.
Please answer the following questions, lets see if we can find out what went wrong.
- What version of Avast?
- What version of the vps?
- What os?
- What settings of Avast?
In the mean time I suggest you click on the link in my signature and follow the instructions on that page to clean the system.
