Hi!
I have Windows 98 SE and Avast! anti-virus installed.
Some months ago, using Avast! I detect Win32:Trojan-gen{VC} in WinStart001.exe.I immediately quarantined file in Chest and left it there for some time. I could not deal with this matter sunner,for some adder(non computer) reasons, but now, when I’m back, want to remove this from my system. Is,waiting so much(couple months)a problem? How to do it, safely? I must say that, for all that time, no adder file was infected, but in the same time Avast! also set “command.com”,“kernell32.dll” and “wstoc32.dll” into chest.Is that only security measure,or something else? I hope I get help soon.Thanks!Maylarimo
The files in Chest are encrypted, so they cannot spread. There is definitelly no problem with keeping “dangerous” files in Chest for a long time. There may be problems if some other viruses were left on your computer (ouside the Chest); you can simply check yourself when you run a scan on your hard disks. If avast! doesn’t find anything, everything is OK. You can simply delete the file from the Chest.
Putting the files command.com, kernel32.dll and wsock32.dll into the Chest is really just a security measure; these files are likely target of a virus infection - and if such a case happened (unlikely, but nothing is 100%, you know), it would be possible to restore them easily.
Thanks,for the answer.That’s a relief!Is there any way to remove this Trojan from my computer?Avast! can’t do it.
without the EXACT name of the trojan ( this is a .gen detection) I cant give removal instructions for you because I cant look it up on the trend web page for you
its hard to scan online because in the chest it encrypted and cant be scanned
What exactly does it mean “avast can’t remove it from the system”?
Hi, I’m new here and sorry if my english bad but at least hope you can understand what I want to say.
See, I also face the same problem, Win32:Trojan-gen.{VC} detected.
But, I can delete the infected file safe and easy using avast!. Even if the file in in .zip/.rar.
Part 1 is done now part 2…
I have a question.
Is it true that Win32:Trojan-gen.{VC} a trojan horse and effecting other files? Well, I found that when the infected file scanned using norton or mcafee, they said that the file is not infected.
I face the Win32:Trojan-gen.{VC} when opening a downloaded game trainer. The trainer maker also get confuse as when he scan the file on his computer (he is using norton 2002 + latest update), no trojan detected, he can run the trainer and it doesn’t effect another computer files.
owh, here i put a link to one of the trainer I’ve download. hope you can help me because, now I’m starting to get confuse too…
