Removal of trojan Win32:TratBHO [Trj] - ComboFix log analysis needed

  1. How was it detected? What was scanning, you yourself or the back-ground scanner? When did the message occur on a download, unzipping, opening a file, mail or mail-attachment, etc.?
    *AVAST DETECTED IT WHILE I WAS BROWSING A WEB PAGE

  2. What was the source of the file, where did the file come from?.: e.g. address, URL, source.
    *WEBSITE WITH LINKS TO SOFTWARE CRACKS [I KNOW, I KNOW – THESE ARE RISKY]

  3. When was it downloaded or received?
    *14 FEBRUARY, 2008

  4. What is the exact file name with extension.
    *ILEHTQIS.DLL

  5. What was the exact wording of the message that the AV program came up with? This is important for later.
    TROJAN HORSE DETECTED - Win32:TratBHO [trj]

  6. Now go back and do nothing yet. Scan the particular file once again with your AV product.
    RAN SPYBOT USING UPDATED DETECTION LIBRARY ON 15 FEBRUARY; AVAST DETECTED THE SAME TROJAN HORSE MID-WAY THROUGH THE SPYBOT SCAN

  7. Check with an on line scanner or update to jotti for a second opinion. Jotti resides at http://virusscan.jotti.org/
    NEVER HEARD OF THIS SOFTWARE. IS IT REALLY NECESSARY?

It’s just to be sure, the better will be test the file against on-line scanners. Submit the file to:
Virustotal
Jotti
There is also Kaspersky File Scanner (The file should not be larger than 1 MB).

I suggest:

  1. Disable System Restore and reenable it after step 3.
  2. Clean your temporary files.
  3. Schedule a boot time scanning with avast with archive scanning turned on.
  4. Use SUPERantispyware and/or Spyware Terminator to scan for spywares and trojans. If any infection is detected, better and safer is send the file to Quarantine than to simple delete than.
  5. Test your machine with anti-rootkit applications. I suggest AVG or Trend Micro RootkitBuster.
  6. Make a HijackThis log to post here or, better, submit the RunScanner log to to on-line analysis.
  7. Immunize your system with SpywareBlaster or Windows Advanced Care.
  8. Check if you have insecure applications with Secunia Software Inspector.
