Trojan virus
I keep getting a Norton antivirus alert that there is a trojan.vorun virus on
my computer. I scanned with Ewido and it finds it and asks if I want to clean it, but it is still there! I cannot restore my Windows XP either, it always comes back saying that the restore was unsuccessful. HELP! |

In any case, boot the computer into Safe Mode and run your NAV and Ewido scans there. Make sure you have updated definitions for both those programs. To get into Safe Mode, repeatedly tap the F8 key as the computer is starting up. There are more malware removal steps he http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/...moving_Malware You may need to run HijackThis and post your log on one of the sites linked on the page above (not here please).

I cannot restore my Windows XP either, it always | comes back saying that the restore was unsuccessful. HELP! Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL -- http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Multi_AV.exe It is a self-extracting ZIP file that contains the Kixtart Script Interpreter { http://kixtart.org Kixtart is CareWare } 4 batch files, 6 Kixtart scripts, one Link (.LNK) file, a PDF instruction file and two utilities; UNZIP.EXE and WGET.EXE. It will simplify the process of using; Sophos, Trend, Kasperski and McAfee Anti Virus Command Line Scanners to remove viruses, Trojans and various other malware. C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS} This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal Mode. This way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor’s web site. The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Kaspersky, Exit this menu and Reboot the PC. You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you can download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded the files needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode [F8 key during boot] and re-run the menu again and choose which scanner you want to run in Safe Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode. When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive PDF help file. To use this utility, perform the following... Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS } Choose; Unzip Choose; Close Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS } NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files. * * * Please report back your results * * * -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html http://www.ik-cs.com/got-a-virus.htm |

It uses scanners from; Sophos, Trend Micro, McAfee and Kaspersky and *all* are well rated anti virus applications. What I have scripted is mere a front end to each and it is highly effective. Since it uses the GNU WGET.EXE utility, there is the possibility that the FireWall(s) of WinXP and other applications will block WGET from performing a HTTP get or FTP get from the respective AV vendor web sites. I can't help that fact that this happens. Some will just have to allow it to perform the duty others may have to disable the FireWall(s). I wish that was not the case but sh!t happens. Since you don't spend time in AV News Groups you are not aware of peer review that have given the Multi AV scanning tool a "thumbs up". My recomendation to use it is not "silly". It has the capabilities to remove malware in Normal Mode, Safe Mode and if need be in DOS or in DOS using NTFS4DOS. Instead of questioning the tool, it is time for YOU to try it ! -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html http://www.ik-cs.com/got-a-virus.htm |

Trojan virus
I have gotten rid of Norton Antivirus and downloaded McAfee. I then ran
McAfee in safe mode, then started back up and ran it again. McAfee detected the trojan "Virtumonde" and deleted it! I have since scanned with Ewido again and it seems I am clean now. I am far from a computer expert and most of the long solutions I was getting weren't helping me a whole lot. Anyway, I'm a McAfee customer from now on! "NoNoBadDog!" wrote: "David H.
