Is your antivirus not dealing with it, what brand and version are you using?

295764 2004-11-24 21:54:00 Go to Trend Micro Housecall or Symantic online scan. Follow their instructions for removal if the trojan scanner doesn't do the job, which will likely include registry editing. If you uncomfortable with the registry post back. Murray P (44)

Just note where AVG tells you the trojan is, and if it mentions volume or restore in the path, then you will have to turn off restore, restart PC, then turn restore on again.

295766 2004-11-25 04:06:00 I posted a question yesterday 'Help virus detected & deleted'...I have since restored the pc to a past date, and (fingers crossed) the pop ups (virus alerts) haven't returned. I am also querying the system restore, as it is advised that certain viruses can be in the system restore.

More to the point, I don't actually have a virus that can't be deleted - no 'healing' or 'quarantining' required - but I am trying to stop these pop ups from causing 'panic attacks' - each time they appear.

Does anyone know how or where the trojan virus comes from. Just wondering if I should avoid accessing specific websites etc. It's been abit of trial and error for me at the moment, and I can't pinpoint where these things are piggy-backing in from.

Appreciate some expertise out there somewhere :)

295767 2004-11-25 04:13:00 Any site can be infected with malware. The other day The Register was infecting people through a 3rd party ad server with the Bofra worm. I think the days are numbered, to an extent, where you were only usually vulnerable at questionable content sites. Murray P (44)
295768 2004-11-25 04:41:00 Murray,

Adding to your comment I was doing some reaserch on some of those generator things and in one of the the writer had in his minimal readme a note on checking volume because some distribution sites were adding malware to his packages.

This morning I got a worm from hotmail site, stinger fixed it, but you can go anywhere normall with ie now.
