I was asked to create my own topic here and I do apologize for the misplaced comment.
I was reading about the TDL4 fix that user magna86 laid out for an infected user’s computer. I found the exact websites used to redirect whatever TDL4 has for information to their “bot command center” were the exact same. I skipped the steps of using BlitzBank and combofix as I believe they are for understanding the problem through the reports given. I understand I have the same problem and went straight to TDDSKiller. I have a few questions, though:
First, how do I know TDL4 is gone after TDDSKiller says it is? Of course I will be using MBAM and Avast! scans to make sure no threat is detected, but is there any specific file/folder I can go to to make sure the malware is no long within my system?
Secondly, this going to magna86, how do you know so much? Is there any possibility you would teach me to your level of understanding of these viruses and how to destroy them? I am starting on my road to being an IT and it would be incredibly helpful to me and others who may become infected if I know what to do much more quickly.
Hi ,
It’s nto something that you will learn in months,it will take you years,it will consume your free time but afterall if you like it,you won’t regret it.There will always be new things to learn,just get in the street and start walking .
TDL development has been dead for more than 5 months btw.Zero Access has been updated though,but not something worth to talk.
Thank you for both of your replies. I have eliminated TDL4 from my computer, this was done yesterday before I had a reply so I do not believe I have the logs anymore unless they are saved in a place I didn’t check. Thanks for the links as well, I know it’s not a one day process to learn everything but at least I know where to start to understand it all. If TDL developement has been dead for a while why did TDL4 come out recently? I’ve seen many forum posts about this virus starting at about four days from now.
