I have this giy on my pc and dunno how to get rid of it. I delete it through AVG and then it just pops up again! I really deprete now and read in your forum about the HijackThis little program and that I should let it scan and add the report log to my post here.
I have read so many articles and forums now and downloaded so many applications which didn’t help much.
Could someone jsut help me in the right direction pleeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssseeeee???
You could start by removing all windows system restore points. I see that one Trojan was found in your “System Volume Information” folder, which is the system restore folder. there could possibly be more malware in there.
Open Regedit and let it look for references to sys.exe. When lucky you may find references to other files. There may be an extra file protecting the sys.exe and the pic.exe.
Another strategy would be using Process Explorer. That is a super duper Task Manager. Look up the sys.exe and pic.exe. They may be parent and child. There may be a third child process involved as well. Select the suspected files → suspend (right click) them → delete them.
Thanks for help so far. I will go try and delete all system restore points and then enabling it again.
Regarding the software I have downloaded, Im not sure anymore cause half of it did nothing to the virus. Spyware doctor didnt help, and then i have CCleaner, Hijackthis, A squared free, Spybot search and destroy, AVG Free and Norton anti virus corporate edtion on my pc Plus now Comodo fire wall.
Norton has qaurantined the virus but didnt remove it. And AVG is still going nuts and it shows that the virus is getting more or duplicating itself.
If I may ask, how many (and which) AV’s and firewalls do you have running? You mentioned quite a few. Running more than one firewall, or more than one active AV, can produce unexpected results.
Btw. your HijackThis log doesn’t show anything. But be carefull with what A2 finds, the Ikarus engine still has too many false positives. Better check on :
… before you remove anything.
What you can add is this tool to check for security risks in your software :
Too much info for my pea sized brain to comprehend!
This is my action which I will take:
I will uninstall all my AV software except one. (A Squared, or what would you suggest? Avast or free-av.com?) and can i run A squared and one of these two AV programs together?
And get or make a MBAM log for FaZio93. (What is MBAM log? and how do I create one for you to see?)
Again thanks for all the help.
Cyberspace is a amazing thing, i was helpless 2 days ago and slowly Im learning a ■■■■ load about these things called virusses which created so many problems for me in the past an d how to give them the one up!
I just read the reviews on Avast and Free antivir. I can’t figure which is better. I want to download one of them but cant decide and then after installing it uninstall all other AVs and unneccasary software for this purposes.
