Win32: Trojan-gen. {VB}

avast! tells me C:td.exe\Files\IEDRIVER.EXE is infected with Win32: Trojan-gen. {VB}. But, it can’t do anything with it, even when I run a boot time scan. When I try to scan the file with Norton Antivirus, it tells me it doesn’t exist, so I don’t know what to do with it. Any help would be nice.

Click on the link in my signature and follow the steps as explained on that page. That should solve it.

Spybot and Ad-aware both worked without a problem, and i saved the log file from hijackthis (it’s on the other computer, so i’ll send it later) but when i run avast! it says “Cannot process ‘C:\td\Files\IEDRIVER.EXE’ file”

If Avast detects it and ask you what to do, choose “remove at next boot when needed” That should take care of the file.

This is the HijackThis logfile. Should i only delete some of these, or fix all of them?

O14 - IERESET.INF: START_PAGE_URL=http://www.hp.com

I ran the programs like it says in the link u gave me, but hijackthis still finds the bad processes, and Spybot still finds some problems (even after i fix them, when i run it a few seconds later they are still there)

If you followed they instructions on the page I gave you, the things will be gone.
Are you sure you did all steps, like disabling system restore?

I did all the steps again, making sure system restore was disabled, and i booted in safe mode, and here are the problems i am left with:
-avast! isn’t able to delete the file C:\td.exe\Files\IEDRIVER.EXE, even when i tell it to remove it at next system startup if necessary, then reboot
-in hijackthis, i can delete all the unwanted things, and while still in safe mode they will remain gone, but when i reboot in normal windows mode after following all the steps, the processes are back, and i can’t delete them with hjt because the processes are running, and i can’t end the processes manually from the task manager (“the operation could not be completed. access is denied.”)
-spybot s&d finds three problems, which it says are data source object exploits, and fixes them, but when i’m still in safe mode and run spybot again, it finds the same three problems again, and again says it fixes them when in fact it does not

Hi,

go to controlpanel → Software/programs, and uninstal WINTOOLS/Wtools

reboot to safeMode (F8-Boot), then open & scan with Hijackthis again &
go Config → MiscTools → Process Manager

  • Kill any of the remaining processes of wintools/wtools
  • go back to HJT’s main window and check & fix the remaining Wintools entries…

reboot and post a new log

P.S.: Hijackthis version 1.98.1 is out, please update first…

:wink:

I couldn’t go to spywareinfo.com to update hjt, but the version i have seemed to work fine for this. here’s the log file after i rebooted:

Now what should i do about spybot and avast! ?

This log looks clean to me. The latest version of HijackThis can be downloaded through the links on my site. If one doesn’t work, try the other. Still having that problem with “C:\td.exe\Files\IEDRIVER.EXE” ?If so try to move it to the chest and delete it from there. If that won’t work either look at these 3 sites:
http://www.softwarepatch.com/tips/howto-delete-xp.html
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;320081
http://www.noeld.com/programs.asp?cat=misc

do you know/need the above entries ?
If not check & fix them with hijackthis…

If they still exist, test the files:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\WinTools\WToolsS.exe
C:\Program Files\Common Files\WinTools\WToolsA.exe
C:\Program Files\Common Files\WinTools\WSup.exe
with avast-scanner:
if it doesn’t pick them up, please send them in…

be sure to delete the folder
C:\Program Files\Common Files\WinTools\

  • update ad-aware & SPYBOT, scan & fix with them several times, till no more is found (except DSO-Exploit in SPYBOTignore this…)

  • reboot and do a thorough scan with avast (archive scanning enabled)
    → report detailed results

  • Onlinescans with Trend & RAV (see “VirusRemoval”-link below are also advised…

:wink:

Wintools is gone, im glad, and here’s what happened with avast!

In safe mode I ran a thorough scan with archive scanning enabled, and it found the file C:\td.exe\Files\IEDRIVER.EXE to have the Win32:Trojan-gen. {VB} virus. Whatever I tried to do (repair, delete, or move to chest) avast! said: “cannot process ‘C:\td.exe\Files\IEDRIVER.EXE’ file”. That was the only file that was infected.

Try to remove that folder manually. You may need the help of the pages I gave you earlier. Try it in safe mode, or from the recovery console if those pages still won’t let you remove it.

as always:
Google is your friend:

Weblink1

Weblink2

and so on…

:wink:

thanks for the help, i got rid of the file finally :slight_smile:
