622617 2007-12-19 01:50:00 That one wouldn't go away, I keep ticking it, fix, scan again but it doesn't move. Rumba (13183)

Boot into safe mode then and delete it. You may have to show all files.

Bet it wont come back then. Make sure system restore is still disabled.

622619 2007-12-19 01:53:00 I'm pretty sure system restore is, but when I checked (right click on my comp) it tells me two times that I can't and talk to the admin etc.

And I just tried it in safe mode, was I meant to be doing the same thing?
I ticked it etc, and look on CCleaner for anything.

622620 2007-12-19 02:02:00 I would install Avast Home (files.avast.com) <-- this is the direct link

Its free, but you have to register (www.avast.com) it to get a 18 mth licence / serial.

Install it then update it. Then do a scan. See what else that picks up, after u delete wowfx.dll in safe mode (if it deletes).

No go to start/search. Search for wowfx.dll

If its there delete it.

It wont be in startup in ccleaner.

622622 2007-12-19 02:21:00 Troj/Agent-GIX is a Trojan for the Windows platform .

When first run Troj/Agent-GIX copies itself to <System>\wowfx . dll .

30074248 . SVD
75547737 . DLL

622623 2007-12-19 02:37:00 I tried it in Safe mode like you said, searched for it, deleted it.
Then it came up again when I searched for it.
So can it not be deleted? Or is there something else I need to do?
Rumba (13183)
622624 2007-12-19 02:47:00 Boot into safe mode, go to start/run, type regedit.

Go to where bevy said it loads.

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProv iders\SecurityProviders

If wowfx.dll apears under here.

Double click on the SecurityProviders entry in the right window, and delete its filename DON'T delete the SecurityProviders entry itself (in the left window) as it looks like this entry contains other files

(like these, dont delete these msapsspc.dll, schannel.dll, digest.dll, msnsspc.dll).

Also look for the files Bevy posted

53261691.DAT
42836685.SVD
26235911.DAT
30074248.SVD
75547737.DLL

Delete them

HKLM is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
