Backdoor:/win32/hackdef.L

[Kenter]

    I have been having problems with my internet lately and my ISP told me to run a virus scan. To make a long story short I ended up using Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool (I know its a huge name for it). It said there is a Malware on my computer by the name of "Backdoor:/win32/hackdef.L". So I run the Norton full system scan and now I have figured out that Norton sucks a big one! So anyhow I need to know at how to get rid of this so my comp will stop acting weird. Also I am looking for a better Antivirus/Firewall program so I can quit buying the Norton trash! Thanks to all in adv!!


P.s. My comp specs, System:              Comp:
                                Win Xp Pro          Intel P3
                                Ver. 2002            500mhz
                                Service Pack 2     512 RAM

Ewido Online Scan now called AVG Antispyware should remove it for you.
Come back when you're clean.

[unlovedwarrior]

look into AVG free 7.5

Alright I have done the online scan and I also removed Norton Virus off my comp. Thanks fed for your advice! Also is AVG a good anti-virus? Or is there something better? I have had some problems in the past with AVG.

Works for me. What was your issue with it?

What you mea Norton is crap whut version do you use 1999 , Norton knows what the actual virus or trojan is -----AVG cant even tell the difrennce between WPESPY.DLL and a trojan thas sad,Norton knows that WPESPY.DLL is a program and not always used for haking.

Man you really have a grudge against AVG. But Norton sucks, i mean i suck at PC's but even i know Norton is clumsy. It slows down your P.C, makes loadsa false positives, and costs a fortune for something that AVG CAN do for free!

Well said, Norton is far too expensive for the (not very good) job it does
Add that to the fact that it's very hard to remove and can cause problems when it is finally removed, and I see no reason to use it instead of, say, AVG or Avast or Antivir or any other free AV
