[b]hi
im a novice when it cums to pc’s but i keep getting this dam thing,every now and again,it says warning virus found,then says w32.trojan.gen.
i click delete,and everything seems fine,but later on it starts warning again,and i thought i killed the blighter,i tried the virus cleaner,but i dont find anything.
so my questions r.
how do i get rid of this little sod?
what is this virus(please explain in leman terms plz as i dull,lol.
i read loads on here bout the virus but still no wiser.
the virus was found at. c:/ msbb.exe,the weird thing is i dont have a c:/ msbb.exe
but before that it was sum other file,is this blighter sum grasshopper jumping from file 2 file?
as this is a generic detection the way to find out about it is to use an online scanner http:housecall.trendmicro.com while there see if trend will clean the file
[b]what seems strange is it flashes up virus alert warning when i try to download edonkey,it does it everytime,so surley that says that, edonkey r knowing spreading this virus,cause it their site and their download.
it keeps bringin up this:msbb.exe c:docume~1\admin~1\locals~1/t [/b]
what WIN do you have ?
Where exactly was the infected File found (full pathname and filename) ?
test the file with OnlineScanners e.g. from Trend & KAV (see below) to get a more specific name
(you need to temporarily disable AV-Resident Shields/Monitors to be able to scan the file online)
-remove the Virus/Malware and it’s system modifications according to VirusInfos
from VGREP, TrendMicro, Kaspersky;
you might also try searching for the virus name or filename with google
general removal procedure:
disable system restore on Win ME/XP
kill respective Backdoor/Trojan process with task manager
search for the file/process names in the registry; remove the malware’s startup entries in the registry
disinfect or (if disinfection is not possible) delete the file; this may be possible only after a reboot
-Secure your system (change passwords, secure shares, install patches/updates for WIN, IE etc…)
-scan your whole system with updated avast and maybe a 2nd scanner ,e.g. TrendMicro to check whether your PC is clean
reenable system restore on Win ME/XP
if it’s of the trojan-gen kind: spybot, ad-aware and cwshredder might also help
if you still can’t remove it, you could post a logfile of Hijackthis here
What is going on here? Can any1 give me the low down on how to shake this virus 4 good?
