System check - XP Pro

Having thought I had completely got rid of the System Check virus (posted elsewhere on the forum) I was surprised to see an entry in Start/All programs as: System Check with subfolders System Check and Uninstall. I presume these are the leftovers of the virus but want to make sure before deleting them.

have you done a quick scan with a updated malwarebytes ?

what does it say…

follow this guide:
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0

attach all logs…

Just did a quick scan…no problems reported.

@ Pondus and true indian
Konfoozed was adviced to open a new topic here to make sure he has realy gotten rid of System Check and be sure no hidden nasty stuff remain.

I already told him that he should post the logs, and wait for Essexboy

so is this the new topic then ???

oooo…i love it when they post all over the forum…make it so easy to answer

@ Pondus

No. Konfoozed being a newbie posted for help in another member’s thread. I told him from the beginning to seek help here. He instead opted to try bleepingcomputer instructions, but still got some problems to resolve. Read the link I posted. Since I am not certified to remove malware, my only option was to send him here. Did I do something wrong for you to post such a sarcastic statement ? I have always considered you to be very helpful and patience member of this forum, moreover with members who do not have an extensive knowledge about computers.

Regards.

@ Pondus.

Thank you…nice to know someone can be understanding. I tried to post in the correct area.

Yes…pure sarcasm…no help.

PS I do not know why this post came out like a quote since my text is out of it.
you have to put your text on the outside (after) the quote tags
Yes....pure sarcasm...no help.
OK....i will keep my fingers away then

Probably best…even as a newbie I recognize the forum is to offer help to others…not use it as an ego-trip.

I might have misinterpreted it. My bad.

Yes, let’s wait. I hope he does not find the instruction too overwhelming.

I was writing this while you posted your answer for the quotes. Yes I did it like you said and still everything came out blue. Don’t know why.

@ Konfoozed.

Since most of us here come all over the world and English is a second language sometimes estatements are misinterpreted. Pondus is a very helpful and knowledgeable member of the community, and my conversation with him was to be clear in our procedure to do things. Nothing else. We are still waiting for your logs.

@ Konfoozed.

We are still waiting for your logs.

I haven’t posted logs or contacted Essexboy as whilst I was waiting for response from the forum I ran CCleaner and discovered that the Start program was in name only. Hopefully it is now all resolved, thanks.

OK. Glad the system check files are gone now, but you mentioned still two Win32Fake Alert BYN Trojans that were not related to any fake alerts Avast! was throwing yesterday about valid programs. What about them ?

iroc9555 and true indian

Just to say that everything seems to be running sweetly…again fingers crossed. On that basis I think it is unfair for me to trouble Essexboy when his http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0 clearly states “If you are having problems still after MBAM has run then create a new topic in the Virus and Worms Forum, stating the problems you are experiencing with the computer and the OTL log…” If I am wrong in my surmise please let me know.

I submitted them to Avast.

Hi sorry for the reply delay…essexboy is our resident malware removal expert…just follow the guides and attach the logs…he will help u out in checking for remanents. :slight_smile:

If u want i will notify him for u,what say? :wink:

Regards from sunny India.

I feel delicate to post this but please do not take it in wrong spirit:

That is not too helpful pondus :(…remember we should work as a team :wink:

After all we all are malware fighters…i hope u understand and co-operate. :slight_smile:

“United We Stand Divided We Fall.”

We are providing help on our own decision we are not obliging anybody by doing so and such behaviour is not expected from u evangelists…

NO OFFENCE!

Thats all i want to say.
