1340538 2013-05-10 10:20:00 Wai, had a bit of trouble with GMail here.

Notice there is a ASP.NET in the Users Account, Dr Google states it's a Microsoft facility, should it be deleted if possible ?.

Thanks,

Lurking. ASP.NET is installed by .Net Framework 1.1, it's need it to allow the install to happen. In the past I have removed it without any problems happening. Saying that I don't do any projects that require ASP either.

1340539 2013-05-10 11:06:00 Billy, Are you sure Billy Junior isn't still using his PC from some far away place!

Yes, I am sure, he is in Fance at present and all communication is via his smartphone.

I ran 'control userpasswords2' and nothing extra showed up.

I have also found the note I made of the trojan name. It was 'trojan.agent.a1' and MWB had it in quarantine.

I have read up about this trojan virus on the web and it sounds nasty (see below), but MWB had quarantined it so I am assuming that it was caught on entry. It was not detected by Eset/nod32 or any of my other subsequent scans since (in total about three hours of scanning), so I am assuming that MWB must have caught it on entry.

Cheers

Found this for Trojan.agent.a1: The description fits with the Tunisia/Gmail experience and we may have had a narrow escape.

Trojan.Agent.AI is categorized as a Trojan virus that antivirus programs may pick up on your computer when it’s infected. This Trojan virus is not very friendly to your computer and will start bringing chaos once it’s in. Created by PC hackers, it has the ability to fail many antivirus programs and sneak into vulnerable systems without consent from PC owners. If you happen to get this Trojan alert popping up on your computer, please watch out. Your computer is already vulnerable because of this piece of Trojan and will become worse if the virus cannot be removed in time! It is believed that a Trojan like this can be associated with different kinds of malware and even third parties. It helps them open the door to many computers around the world.Trojan.Agent.AI virus is not that easy to be removed since it’s associated with PC hackers. But do you have any idea of where you picked up this virus? Have you always behaved yourself online and been well protected by your antivirus?

This Trojan infection is believed to be able to hide among many suspicious or fishy web sites; be bundled with free unknown software; or spread among computers with the assistance of removable devices. Even though the computer has been protected by antivirus software, it’s still vulnerable to this Trojan virus. Once Trojan.Agent.AI virus is in, security alerts may keep popping up from antivirus to warn you that the computer is in troubles. These security pop ups may include fake alerts created by this Trojan infection to get you confused. What’s worse, system loopholes could be created in order to bring other malware and spyware in! In other words, you may be experiencing other troubles on the computer if this Trojan virus cannot be removed fast.

Wai, thanks for that, will delete user ASP.NET as I don't use Framework 1.1.

If it's daughter doing, she can put it on her own home machine.
