During the past four days, whenever I click on http://www.shockwave.com/download.jsp or any www.msn.com link, I get a pop-up menu notice from Avast 5 (free version) that it just blocked a js treffuc-c trj. In addition, when I tried to change my account information (credit card) on a website, it was blocked and Avast said there was a tracer that needed to be investigated by Avast; so I couldn’t change my account.
How do I get rid of the js treffuc-c, and where did it come from? What does it do? I have tried to find information on it, but nothing online or at Avast.com is available on this subject.
I ran a Avast bootscan, delete some infections, sent others to the chest. Some, which were file ones, had to be ignored because nothing else would work. I kept getting a 42111 error when I tried to move them to the chest, or a 42060 error when I tried to repair it.
I ran Avast Boot Scan, Super Antispyware and Malwarebytes. Please see attachments to High Jack This and Avast boot scan for results.
I use Mozilla Firefox 3.6.10, which at times crashes and seems unstable, and Internet Explorer 7. (Some things are inaccessible through Mozilla that aren’t with IE7.
Any help will be appreciated. I have been going back and forth via e-mail with a Avast tech, but haven’t gotten any results yet, and I was wondering if anyone else had an experience with js treffuc-c trj.
Well I just visited both links using firefox 3.6.10 and I got no alerts. I navigated around msn and clicked on the alligator video, since I have a slow broadband it took some time loading. During this time firefox crashed, I don’t know if it was the shockwave.com/download.jsp page or the msn video link that I was loading.
I’ve been struggling with the same message for a few weeks, always when I’m reading news on MSN using Firefox. Been pretty annoying & scans show nothing, so I have no idea if this is a false positive.
Windows Explorer is a file manager application that is included with releases of the Microsoft Windows operating system from Windows 95 onwards. It provides a graphical user interface for accessing the file systems. It is also the component of the operating system that presents many user interface items on the monitor such as the taskbar and desktop. Controlling the computer is possible without Windows Explorer running (for example, the File | Run command in Task Manager on NT-derived versions of Windows will function without it, as will commands typed in a command prompt window). It is sometimes referred to as the Windows Shell, explorer.exe, or simply “Explorer”.
