Have you tried:

Launch in safe mode and try to manually delete it?

Go into msconfig and disable it from running at start-up?

Make sure that in your window options that you can see hidden files and windows operating system files. Tool, view options i think.

Have you tried the usual removers like:

Ad-aware, Spybot S&D etc also try Symantec's site to see if they have a specific remover for that trojan.

.

whitedragon · 13 Jun 2007 at 23:05

Try Hitman Pro. Its basically a program which downloads and runs lots of other spyware and trojan removing programs automaticallly.

Takes a while to work but can't get more thorough unless your gonna format!

Download AVG Anti-Spyware, update it, then do a FULL system scan, it will take a while but it should find it if its a well known trojan.

Just type AVG into google and goto grisoft...Go in the downloads section, and download the home/small office edition of the Anti spyware tool...Hell try the malware one as well if the spyware one doesent find it, but it probably will.

Download and run a free trial of an anti-trojan program called: Trojan Hunter . Let it scan your whole system and remove anything it finds.

REBOOT your system.

Download ewido security suite it is a trial version of the program.

When installing, under "Additional Options" uncheck "Install background guard" and "Install scan via context menu".
Launch ewido, there should be an icon on your desktop double-click it.
The program will prompt you to update click the OK button
The program will now go to the main screen

You will need to update ewido to the latest definition files.
On the left hand side of the main screen click update
Click on Start
The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.

Once the updates are installed:
REBOOT into Safe Mode
Run EWIDO
Click on scanner
Click on Start Scan
Let the program scan the machine
While the scan is in progress you will be prompted to clean files, click OK

Reboot your machine and all should be well.

Downlaod AVG Anti Spyware (as said above), its free

Here's the link:

http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5#avg-anti-spyware-free

Then install it and let it update completely.

Then boot your computer into Safe Mode.

Then run the FULL scan (as mentioned above), but run it in Safe Mode - don't just run it from a normal Windows boot up.

If you run AVG and Spybot in SAFE MODE, then I'd be very surprised if they couldn't remove it completely!

I believe Ewido is now AVG Anti-spyware

Ewido is now part of AVG, no?!

I'm pretty sure it is now AVG Anti-Spyware.

/edit - LOL that NEVER took me 2mins to post that :confused:

Ak!ta · 14 Jun 2007 at 10:02

Yes actually your right it became part of AVG IN 7.5

But the process is the same.

You could also dl CCleaner, that will get rid of any other pap you have on there and tidy things up a bit making your pc run better.
