| 750223 | 2009-02-22 05:06:00 | I need help getting the backdoor trojan off my computer and portable devices. To open my portable devices I have to right click and then go explore. If I just try to double click it says not available. I have restarted in safe mode, ran symantec antivirus. When I selected my portable drive it sees the recycler file but when it scans that drive it says there is no virus. I have downloaded malwarebytes also but it doesn't detect the file. Help. It keeps reinfecting everything I plug into my computer and the virus scan isn't catching it. Thank you, Kristina |

| 750224 | 2009-02-22 05:07:00 | I have also ran a system scan in safe mode and nothing. :o( I checked some of the typical registry files and there is nothing abnormal there. | kandrew009 (14426) | ||

| 750226 | 2009-02-22 05:22:00 | Disable system restore first It was probably on the system and something detected it / deleted it. Which is why its in recycled If the virus scanner, picked it up whats the name of it. Get ccleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com) run it then click on run cleaner Close browsers first If this is XP, is it Home or Pro? If its Pro, disable system restore first, open my computer, go to tools / folder options / view. Untick simple file sharing. And untick hide protected system files and select show hidden files Highlight the recycled folder / right mouse / properties / security tab Click on add. In the bottom, type in the name that appears at the top of the start menu / check names, if its right it''ll complete it. Then tick everything under allow then OK. Open the folder, delete whats inside this folder Do the same for system volume information folder Then reboot, then I would use something better than Symantec AV |

| 750227 | 2009-02-22 06:03:00 | What should I use other than symantec? I've always had troubles with anti virus scanners not preforming. | kandrew009 (14426) | ||
| 750228 | 2009-02-22 06:04:00 | Avast home (http://www.avast.com) Its free, but you do have to get a serial to register it every year / 14 mths or something. The link is on the site above Or NOD32 if you want to pay for it |

| 750229 | 2009-02-23 01:25:00 | I can not change the security of the folder, so that I can delete the files. It worked fine on my mom's computer that has pro but, I also have this problem on my home laptop and it's running xp home. Any ideas? | kandrew009 (14426) | ||
| 750230 | 2009-02-23 01:40:00 | You have to do it in safe mode, if its XP Home | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 750231 | 2009-02-23 01:56:00 | What should I use other than symantec? I've always had troubles with anti virus scanners not preforming. NOD32 is the best one. Its not free. If you must have free then Avast as Speedy says. You should also have at least 2 antispywares: Spybot and Malware Bytes will do. |

| 750232 | 2009-02-23 02:21:00 | OK... No laughing please keeping in mind that I am extremely tired and have a sick 8 month old baby. Malwarebyted picked up a trojan.agent: c:\recycler\s-1-5-21-1482476501-1644491937-692003330-1013\destop.ini and c:\recycler\s-1-5-21-1482476501-1644491937-692003330-1013\xop32.exe and folder c:\recycler\s-1-5-21-1482476501-1644491937-692003330-1013\ and a registry key. My question are the recycler folder and system volume folder normal folders and the trojan is just implanting itself there? This is driving me crazy as it's on my flash drives, my sd cards and something else. help please. Kristina |
