WindowsXP: TrojanByte.Verify

Question12 — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 00:57:04 +0000

I understand about restoring the computer. However, for right now, how do I rid this virus from my computer? Norton finds it, but when I click “remove” it doesn’t remove it like it usually does. I’m not sure how to set up firewalls, but I’ll find that out later too. Any tips about removing it from the location my computer gives me and to rid my computer of it asap?

HELP! My personal settings have dissapeared!

The standard software scanning both desktop and online scanning for my colleague’s laptop computer aren’t removing the Trojan horse that’s been identified by the online scans from trendmicro and Microsoft malicious software removal tool. (Of course McAfee on the person’s laptop didn’t find anything wrong and didn’t remove anything.) We’re a low-budget operation — what steps should we take in a deadline-based enviornment that doesn’t permit a Windows reinstall to remove the bogus antivirus/Trojan horse downloader program.? What folders and files do we search? I’m a budget analyst determining software needs for our security, not an IT security professional but I’ll refer your answer to our top tech person.
