| 347326 | 2005-04-21 10:48:00 | Hi I am running windows xp pro and I somehow got this trojan: Trojan horse collected.5.L. It leaves msdirectx.sys in my documents and settings each time I boot up (I delete it each time). Avg won't update and msconfig and regedit wont start either. I think I saw (when I could) systeminfos.exe in startup in msconfig and in task manager (which also doesn't go) running services.exe. It now won't launch test center for AVG Free so maybe it is getting worse. I think I had another virus but I can't check what the name of it was. Kerio pops up asking for something to connect to my computer.. Sigh, time for a macintosh. Any help please? Thanks |

| 347328 | 2005-04-21 12:12:00 | I downloaded it. But, would you believe, it didn't open!? :O. Sigh. I had a look at Kerio and systeminfos is connecting to some place; so that doesn't look too good. | music_man (5482) | ||
| 347329 | 2005-04-21 12:44:00 | This is a very nasty worm by all accounts. Have you tried googling for it? This reference may help. discussions.virtualdr.com You may have more luck trying to delete its files in safe mode. Best of luck. |

| 347332 | 2005-04-21 19:26:00 | YOU could also get a little prog called 'move on boot' and 'restrict app' the first deletes files before they get up an running during the boot process and the second is very useful cause you use it to stop files from running...... | drcspy (146) | ||

| 347334 | 2005-04-21 23:33:00 | Hi Hijack this won't open. Thanks for your replies. It looks like quite a long task to delete this trojan. I don't fancy having someone browsing my computer with me... I suppose I should do an online scan on my dialup though I don't like to think how long it will take. These companies must make a fortune by having the internet so insecure for windows users. |

| 347335 | 2005-04-22 00:04:00 | These companies must make a fortune by having the internet so insecure for windows users. I'll re-phrase that. "These companies must make a fortune by having Windows so insecure for internet users" Remember the internet is just like streets and motorways, some houses you visit are of questionable nature, like the internet some web sites are also. You wouldn't leave your house unlocked and not alarmed these days, don't leave your "windows" open and insecure. |
