Virus protection/removal

Deliverance — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 17:23:22 +0000

I am re-imaging 12 pcs in a local network. The clients of my network are between the ages of 5 and 16. And have to be acessible to them during my installations and hardening. We havent been approved for $ to cover the anti-virus cost, yet. so i’m out there like a sitting duck until I can proceed. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what I can do to protect these pcs from trojans temporarily. @ no cost?

Have trouble deleting repeated Trojan Horse virus on computer using Symantec Endpoint Protection 11?

XavierD — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 19:34:14 +0000

I am having trouble getting rid of a repeating Trojan Horse virus on a computer using Symantec Endpoint Protection Version 11.0.4202.75. I have done the following: performed full scan in safe mode, used Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer, disconnected computer from network, updated virus definitions, deleted quarantine, disabled system restore, deleted values for associated registries, etc.

I have preformed the above, but the trojan horse keeps reproducing in the quarantine as a DWH15AD.tmp file in c:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp or as a APQ103D.tmp file in c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\SRTSP\Quarantine.

I am currently using Windows Defender right now to help get rid of the virus, but it is currently going through the full scan process.

I am not sure how to get rid of this Trojan Horse virus. Please help if you have a solution to this problem. Thank you.

Triton — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 13:00:52 +0000

I acquired a TROJAN that has become a bit of a problem to get rid. I have tried reformatting my FLASH drive since thats where it originated with no results. It has jumped to my laptop and though it does not seem to be causing a problem i still would like to clear it. I have change virus protection programs about 5 times with no results. After a scan each program says no infected files found yet when i ran AVIRA it picked this: [ TR/VB.aqu.8] located in /mnt/hda1/recycled/ctfmon.exe.

As such can anyone tell how to rid my system of this issue

Windows XP starts up but hangs at background screen with no icons

Bghp — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 23:17:50 +0000

While in the middle of fixing some trojan infections I have found my XP service pack 3 PC is now starting up to the background screen and not displaying any icons. I am able to hit ctrl-alt-delete and startup task manager. There are no applications running. If I choose new task and enter explorer.exe everything comes up fine and I can work from there. This has been my workaround but is annoying. I have run chkdsk and it initially found one problem and supposedly fixed it. This issue happens when I am in safe mode or even logged in as administartor. I even created an additional identity and it exhibits the same behavior.
Can anyone offer some help?
I would greatly appreciate it.

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?
