artist Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 Looking through Google - got notice 'Trojan Horse in files, run AVG'Did that - nothing found.So did that mean there was the virus in the site I had just clicked?Only thing I've downloaded recently is Macro update.Have only opened known emails too.Seems ok to me - what do you think?Was AVG just checking, or what?

mark2 Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 You coud try an online scan as a back up, or even put Gladiator to the test see if that finds any thing :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artist Posted March 7, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 I downloaded a free ' housecall 'checker - ran a scan - nothing there.Is it ok to leave that or is it going to clash with AVG? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artist Posted March 7, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 Did the Norton on line scan. Came up with 'one file infected with JS.Exception.Exploit' I gather it's a Trojan.Don't want Norton anti virus scanner.Checked it out again wth AVG - it found nothing.Did search - nothing.Where is it and how do I get rid of it?According to the norton scan, it's in C:\ documents and settings\local settings\temporary internet files\content.IE5\G1AZO16Z\index(1).htmlIf I delete the temp files, will that see it off?

mark2 Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 Just deleting the named temp file will see it off. but norton always seems to find this particular virus where others haven't ?? as its in a temp file no problem anyway to get rid of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ironman556 Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 Do you get a lot of pop-ups? Or get redirected (and popups) if you mis-spell a web address and IE 6 searches from the address bar (you'll still get to the MSN search page)?Have a look in temp internet files for "[1].jpg" and delete it if it's there. That's the infected file. Then make sure you have search from address bar enabled, and type somthing that'll make it search. i.e. type an address wrong. If it re-appears in the files then you've got more work to do to clear it.If you do post back and I'll explain further, I had the same problem.

artist Posted March 7, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 to Ironman:Didn't actually see the specific file - (1).jpg - but deleted all the tempfilesDid a search as you suggested - nothing from AVG as yet.Thanks to all - hope it's gone. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ironman556 Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 Good, hopefully you've not get the version I had then, which was particularly nasty as it changed a few registry entries to re-instal itself on certain actions. If it does come back you should be able to get rid of it by changint the affected entries back to their original values.Ironman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
