Need help getting rid of an incredibly stubborn trojan?

Question

There is a Trojan on my PC that will not go away. I have used Avast and AVG and nothing has changed. It is a very deceptive Trojan. It makes you think its gone then Avast! will pop up saying that it tried activating. I have done GUI scans and Boot scans and neither have been able to remove it. Here's the description from the Avast logging file:

"Win32:SdBot-2888 [Trj]" has been found in "C:\WINNT\system32\cool.exe"

That was the original, this one just popped up today that I have NEVER seen before:

"Win32:IRCBot-AMY [Wrm]" has been found in "C:\WINNT\system32\cool.exe\[Morphine]"

Please help in detail, it has been burdening my PC for a long time. Thanks!

P.S. The PC is running Windows 2k Pro

Answer 4

Google  the  name  of  the Trojan  and download a removal tool  for  it  if one  is available,   then run it.. then after delete  the fix program. Then I suggest you go to www.download.com There is a search bar at the top. Type in :

AVG FREE anti-virus download it then update it.. Then look for SPY BOT Search and Destroy..download it and update it.. After you update Spy Bot , click on "Immunize" on the main Spy Bot page.. let it run. This loads the definitions. Click block pages silently also.. Look for and download , Zone Alarm free fire wall also..You need one of these too. Then go to www. lavasoft.com and look for AD-Aware SE personal edition..Download it and then update it... These programs are all free..Then run all three programs. The Firewall runs itself.. You will need to run all three programs at least once a week..The AVG protects constantly. And can be set up to automatically update, and scan for problems. But you will have to open and check for updates and run the programs manually for the other 2.. I also recommend Abexo registry cleaner ( also available at download.com) but be careful when you delete registry files it may be something you want to keep look at each one before you delete them.

Answer 5

Actually your problem is that win 2K didn't have a firewall.

So Trojan will keep coming back after anti-virus remove them.

Install zone alarm.
