544878 2007-04-28 01:55:00 I have this virus/malware and bitdefender doesn't remove it (but it quarantines it and copies it for some reason) and counterspy cant detect it, i've tried removing it with the cmd and drdelete but it wont remove, I've tried deleting all the temporary files i could find on my computer to no avail and there isn't any info on google about it that i could find.

anyone had any experience with this before?

544879 2007-04-28 02:48:00 Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool Should remove it for you.

Have you got the latest MS updates. If not, get them.

544880 2007-04-28 02:51:00 It appears to be caused by malware using known exploits. Earlier versions refer to the lowering of the security level within Internet explorer to allow the re-introduction of trojans. Try doing scans in safemode to stop Windows protecting some malware files.
Maybe have a look at the security levels of IE , or maybe try another browser such as Opera or Firefox.
Another thing to keep in mind, is that it may be detecting it within a restore point (if using XP) , where it should remain locked up as well. To make sure, make another system restore point, then go into System tools and after opening "Disk cleanup" , go to More Options and use the Cleanup button down the bottom to clear out all restore points except the one you just made.

544881 2007-04-28 09:58:00 I have the latest MS updates and im using firefox that triggers bitdefender to quarantine Exploit.ADODB.Stream.DM when i first open it. I Ran MWMSRT and counterspy in safe mode and they detected some other cookie potential prob but not this one. I couldn't get bitdefender to run in safemode. And i removed all restorepoints except the latest one that i made and that changed nothing.

any ideas?

544882 2007-04-28 10:23:00 Get trojan remover in my sig below. Run it update it then click on scan.

See if it can find and remove it. Then select the 3rd to 7th option under the utilities menu.

Then get ccleaner (www.ccleaner.com) install, run it, then click on run ccleaner. Close browser first.

544884 2007-04-29 08:27:00 If u have XP, disable system restore.

Boot into safe mode, show all files (under tools / folder options / view tab in my computer) / untick hide protected operating system files.

Right mouse /properties on the system volume information folder.

Click on the security tab / advanced button then add button. Where the cursor is type in the name of Admin (it shows at the top of the start menu).

Then click on check names. Once the name comes up click on OK,OK,OK. To get out the properties of this folder, then open the system volume information folder.

Delete everything in it (if theres anything in it). Then reboot. Then turn system restore back on.

If u have more than 1 hard drive, do the above on the system volume information folder as well. Delete whats in this folder.

544886 2007-04-30 21:30:00 And did u add yourself to the folder as Admin??

You have to do this first before you'll get access to it.

544887 2007-05-01 08:08:00 Done, sorry i added myself as admin but didn't assign permissions, what next? Mateo1981 (12187)
