trojan removal

I have a possible Win32/Starter infection.

Are there any reliable tools that can help remove this?

If your online and running, I have had good results with Trend micro housecall.

There is also the free "microsoft security essentials" for newer systems, not sure how good it is.

Do you already have a virus program running?

I'm checking on a possible trojan.

There's some evidence that this trojan has infected a family machine
(there's a mysterious directory, which is frequently created by this trojan).

I run avast on the machine - so suspect (hope?) it's simply left-over fingerprints

Well, there is this program I use to detect what the issue is. There is chance it won't work with the trojan on there though.

Truthfully for me, if I get something that bad. I reformat/reimage the whole drive. Something like a bad trojan is hard to clean.

Avast is not the best software out there. They say Panda is really good.

I use Norton because it is free with Comcast. I think Mcafee would be better than what you are using and you can get that free for six months if you like their FB page. http://www.facebook.com/McAfee?v=app_216371893645

But right now I would back up whatever you can and just reimage your drive.

I thought they just slid off...

Ahh, you started it!

What did the trojan say as it flew thru the air?







Pissed me off!

I use Malwarebytes

:thumbsup: That's what I though, maybe some rolling could be involed, but still means GREAT minds think a Like!

Did you know they put the date code on the open end of those things?
