   trojan problems
« on: Today at 07:54:29 AM »     

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I apologize if I am repeating but I am not seeing other threads about Trojans and I got 3 between Monday and Tuesday this week.
Monday AVG found this Trojan and removed it:Trojan Horse Downloader Agent 2 ARZ
I failed to copy the location of this Trojan.


On Tuesday it found the same plus
Trojan Horse Dropper JOC
And removed both.

Today, Wed April 8, 2009
AVG found no Trojan.

How do I know for sure they are gone?
Also: are the locations of the Tuesday Trojans are related to system restore?

C: System Volume Information\_restore(3831AAFO-62E3-409FBF5F-89C8CCC4C01A)\RP238\A0074986.exe
and
C: System Volume Information\_restore(3831AAFO-62E3-409FBF5F-89C8CCC4C01A)\RP49\A0008115.exe

I have no idea if listing the locations as AVG listed them will help you.


How I got it/them:
I tried using TUCOWS which I believed to be safe and never caused me a problem before. I downloaded a software from holersoft.net which if for getting TV channels on a computer

PC stats:
Windows XP Pro OEM
Service pack 3
AMD Sempron 3000+  1.6Gig
2.0 Gig RAM DDR-2
two 80 Gig hard drives by Western Digital

AVG 8.0 anti-virus free
windows firewall
internet explorer 7.0

----
Over a year ago, I got Trojans and was using McAfee which is free with Comcast.
It did not block them. It did not remove them.
AVG removed them, as I uninstalled McAfee and re-installed AVG free.
But I don't remember what kind of Trojan it was and it kept duplicating itself and I saw that it would do that in a microsoft data base article.
So what I finally did was use system mechanic drive scrubber to wipe the hard drive and start all over again.
-----
 I am avoiding doing this again !!

I had no log for superantispyware free so I am scanning again.
The first time it found threats connected to adaware which confuses me. I thought adaware was safe. I don't understand why adaware has threats in it.
I removed the threats from quarantine.

this time it is finding adaware threats again.

notes from the first scan:
 adaware tracking cookie  (13) as file items
and adaware my web search/funwebproducts (5)
 as threats !! (18 total ) as registry items

I saved screen shots this second scan with superantispyware but cannot put them in here?
It found 9 adaware threats in the files section of the scan.

That is all I can do?

What's wrong with "Ad-Ware? "That is like asking
What's Wrong with "Spy ware?"
Read the answer given by Janet Attard.
I would agree with her. And say that Ad-ware is nearly the same thing.
Both are invasions of personal privacy.  8)

I keep getting a message that says windows cannot find the active desktop html file. This file is needed for your active desktop. to turn off active desktop, click OK.

I have clicked OK all week long since the first trojan on Monday.

I think I have something in my computer that is not being found by all the scans I have made today.

Is there such a thing as an active desktop html file???

    Never argue with a stupid person, they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

    I am running superantispyware a third time and finding MORE tracking cookies !!
    and it says adware, not adaware (it was my mistake) !
    However, Adaware is a good anti spyware tool, I think,  and is by Lavasoft.

    Ad-Aware by Lavasoft  is what I find on Google.

    The product  is found on more that just the official site.

    They are no way calling it AdWare!
