Help!! I have the Win32:Trojano-242 virus, every time I “delete” it, it returns, sometimes it says it cannot be deleted at all. What should I do? Any suggestions would be much appreciated!! Thanks, Amber
Click on the link in my signature and follow the steps on that page. If you have done everything as discribed there and still have rpoblems, let us know.
I also just got an avast! warning the the same trojan had infected several of my backup software’s files (Genie). I scanned with Trojan Hunter (also resident), Spybot, Spysweeper (also resident), AdAware SE, Trend Housecall and Panda online. All were negative. I had disabled system restore.
I just returned from a 5 day trip and the only browsing I’ve done has been to check mail on Yahoo. I installed service pack two and enabled the firewall. I have a hardware firewall. So, I find it odd that my machine could have gotten infected with such limited exposure. Could this be a false positive?
Hi,
this trojan is supposed to be SPYWARE:
INFO
→ please enter
TROJANO-242
into the board-search above for more info
- read “VirusRemoval” below in my sig
- give us the exact path/folder/filename fo the suspected trojan file
- was AVAST SHIELD(s) paused when you used the other scanners ? Also try RAV & KAV-Scanners, please
→ if thus you can confirm a false positive, please send the file in to avast
was Windows FULLY uptodate/patched before you applied SP2 ?
are your Browser settings secure `?

DavidR,
After the latest signature update, avast! no longer detects the trojan. I’ll assume it’s a false positive.
thanks
