My friend asked me to help with her computer problem. PC became extremely slow. It was apparently infected by trojan yvsvga.dll that was in windows\system32 directory. Her AOL “security suit” based on McAfee was able to detect it but couldn’t remove it. XP prevented any atempts to delete it. BTW Avast 4.7 didn’t detect it
Reading some posting on Trend Micro (it was able to find it too) web site I learned that this is a backdoor trojan, that possibly helped to install some other malware. My question is:
Is there a way to check for those program? I ran Ewido, Avast, AOL security and they didn’t find anything else.
Why don’t you try on-line scanners?

Thank you very much Tech.
I ran TrendMicro in safe mode and It found another problem tibs.vb I think we are up and running now. At least computer is now responding.
BTW, I had hard time starting other online scans you recommended. Couple didn’t work, other complained about ActiveX permissions. I checked them in browser options and ActiveX related staff was enabled. I guess it may be subject for a different post.
