Visionary Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Hello there everybody,Last Night I pulled a Trojan off the Web that doesn't seem to slow down my overall performance or anything but has a very annoying downfall - Norton 2007 and Trend Micro 2008 did not remove it, Norton didn't even find it and I have no idea how to even go around doing this from here so basically, I'm asking for help!All it does (that I know of) is pop up a Windows error message telling me I'm infected and I need to download Anti-Spyware software now - I am given a choice of Yes or No, no matter what I click it opens my browser with a fraud web-page pretending to immitate the My Computer screen and it want's me to download a file called "ieav.exe" from http: //ieav download start. com. Of course I didn't download it or bother in any way. This error message and process only occurs when I change the folder currently being viewed by my explorer, Using the navigation tools or mouse buttons to navigate between folders, if I open one or go back I get it every time, so far I've only noticed that I don't get the message when I open any folder through my start menu, but when I open a folder through a shortcut my explorer.exe fails and Visual Studio 2008 want's me to launch the debugging process.I'm really clueless from here on and I wish I knew how to get rid of this, I would really appreciate it if someone could help me.Thank you so much in advance,-Kevin "Visionary" Erkelenz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Run an online scan with http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ (use v6.6 as it runs better and quicker than 6.5).If that doesn't find and remove it, install Spybot - Search & Destroy, update the definitions, then run a full scan on your system.Let us know how it goes.

Dencandy Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 After you've got rid of this pest you might want to consider installing the McAfee SiteAdvisor (from HERE) to warn you about probable malicious websites. There's a free version used & recommended by many on this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
