Serious virus problem
Okay my trojan thread didn't get replies, and sorry for having two, but this is serious. Any time I try to open My Computer, or My Documents or anything like that AVG detects a trojan. It got to a point last night where I couldn't actually access the files at all. Anyone heard of this or can help?
I say what I think. If you disagree, then that is up to you.
You will want to do a full system scan and remove whatever causes the problem. When did you last do a full scan?
You will have to provide detailed information, if you want better advice.
Is there any way you can remotely handle the computer? Then you can try running Adaware.
Step 1: download and burn <a href="http://www.knopper.net/knoppix-mirrors/index-en.html">Knoppix</a> Live CD and burn it. Insert in the computer and boot from the CD.
Step 2 (if Knoppix doesn't come with an AV): Download <a href="http://www.f-prot.com/download/home_user/download_fplinux.html">F-prot</a> for linux, install and run.
And then there is Death
Or failing that, download clamwin for windows, install, update av files, reboot to safe mode no network support, and run it.
I just survived a hideous Sasser/trojan/host file attack a few weekends ago (have the screenshots of the port scanner saved somewhere just for fun), and I had to do that...a few times.
Also you may need to run msconfig and disable all the virus/trojan related startup files. Have fun with that.
