I have a trojan, need help.

[Neon Apocalypse]

Somehow i seemed to have acquired a trojan. Now my computer seems to work fine, aside from the fact that i get bombarded by pop ups. I know i have a trojan because on my aim profile there is a link that downloaded a trojan. And it says "new years eve partayy!" so its really old. I can't get rid of this, everytime i sign on its there, even if i deleted it previously. Now this happened to me before, except i solved it by wiping all my AIM files and reinstalling. So i know i got spyware and a trojan. The site that my profile is linked to got taken down, and they have suggested certain spyware and trojan killers. Only problem is they cost money, which i dont have. So how can i get rid of this stupid spyware and trojan? I have already tried Spybot S&D, which can't remove the trojan, but removes some spyware, which comes back quick enough. Anyone have any programs they can send me? Or does anyone have any reccomendations that are free?

http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/ try that

[Neon Apocalypse]

It didnt remove the trojan, and i cant find the file of the trojan so i can't quarantine it.

[Mognoc]

Try spysweeper, it got rid of one of my Trojans. http://www.webroot.com/php/tryme.php?bjpc=64000&vcode=dt02

[Indecisive]

Wow. I was thinking about the wrong kind of trojan.....

Well, find a girlfriend, get real friendly, and then once it's time, be sure to wear it.

For the serious response, try a program called Pest Patrol. Don't have a website link, google it.

[Infernus]

... ... see ... your title got my hopes all up for p0rn pics... damn...

[Doop]

Mwahahaha, looks like one of us (www.pstrojans.tk) got into your comp. =D This should be in Tech Support shouldn't it?

Anyway, try Trojan Search/Destroy. Someone told me a while ago that the guys at Spyware Search/Destroy made one for simply viruses, but it might not be true. Try Googling it.

[MrVicchio]

Search For Rsnet!

[worldvengence]

Wow. I was thinking about the wrong kind of trojan.....
i seriously think that is what went thru ALL our minds at first

[Neon Apocalypse]

I have spybot search and destroy and it didnt do shit, and i dont have RSnet either.

[Onizuka]

yay for pestpatrol ;)

[Veteran]

Didn't the Greeks come busting out of the Trojan Horse in the womb of the enemy city?

What the hell kinda name is that? How about RAMPARTS or AEGIS.. You know, something that implies protection, not an outpouring of little troops.

edit: Oh yah, I'm referring to condoms for some reason.

[worldvengence]

its called a trojan because it is disguized as something innocent comming into your comp then it becomes malevolent...hense why it is called that...unless u are talking abotu the condom, then ya, u DONT want an outpouring of "little troops"

[BUGGER]

I cary a spare in my wallet, thats what ya gota do.


.....oh wait.....

[xmodum]

You guys need to get serious and help Neon, and stop talking about your "little troops" please.

[Seer]

Bugger, you're 15. Mentioning offhand that you carry a condom around in your wallet is pretty cheesy at any age.

[Triggar]

Good call, Seer.

No offense, Bugger. But sometimes you just gotta know what's gauche and what's not.

[Zatrais]

This sposed to be a good AV and firewall, 1 year free (http://www.my-etrust.com/microsoft/register_cart_ms.cfm?CVVX$@GFDSG$YTU=212734). Havn't tried it myself but it scores top notch in all the reviews i've seen.

[Neon Apocalypse]

I guess i'll have to buy something, or not the trojan isnt causing me any trouble. But when i use internet explorer some sites are messed up, i guess ill start using msn explorer.

[Spider]

I cary a spare in my wallet, thats what ya gota do.


.....oh wait.....

Damn you! When I saw the title I was gonna say: "And I have a 12 pack with me at all times... what's your point?"

[Indecisive]

Trojan MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN

[worldvengence]

ur trojan probably also is sending ur serfing info to someone else, that can send passwords, so DO NOT just leave it.

[Indecisive]

I just use norton for all of my virus raping needs. Free after rebates.

[worldvengence]

ya, but norton is slow to update on viruses etc. sometimes

[Indecisive]

Eh. I dont download much "at risk" content. I.E: I dont use kazaa ;)

[worldvengence]

hahaha, that works, i use norton too, just cause it came with the comp...and even tho they are slow to update, it still works against most of the f--ktards that use old trojans to hit ur comp

[Spider]

Much H8 for norton!

I prefer Mcaffee!

[Ait'al]

Mcaffees a virus killing machine!

[Indecisive]

Yeah. But I already have one copy of norton, so I can trade that one for all future releases. Plus whacha do is get systemworks. Lots of extra little fixing stuff.

[BUGGER]

Bugger, you're 15.
14 thankyouverymuch.


Its called a joke, but i dont see why not since I'm commonly miscalled for my age.

[martyr]

neon, you have SpyBot.

here's how to remove it.

this thread belongs in tech talk, imo

http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml

Download from the "Download Startup Control Panel" link. Install it. Read the documentation of how it works. Run it (Start -> Control Panel -> Startup in 2000/Start -> Control Panel -> Classic View -> Startup in XP), stop the trojan from running at start up, effectively rendering it useless. Then navigate to the location associated with the value and delete the file. Post a list of everything in HKLM/run, HKCU/run, Startup (User), Startup (Common) and Run Once and I will tell you what to delete if you can't figure it out. If that doesn't work, it is disguising itself as a system service, I will tell you how to pwn it (and probably your entire boot process) in msconfig.

Do yourself a favour and download Zone Alarm or other free firewall, if you get nasty shit on your system that isn't the latest and greatest in Sub7 technology, atleast it can't get out.

[martyr]

^ oy, don't download that unless your OS is win9x.

everything you need is in msconfig if you need to stop services

Yeah, but what percentage of the people that posted here check the tech forums?

[martyr]

Yeah, but what percentage of the people that posted here check the tech forums?

what percentage of replies involved safe or useful virus removal procedures?

[Neon Apocalypse]
