Anti virus

Post by thescruff »

I have Avast, superAntiSpyware Pro, Mbam, Hitman Pro, and God knows what else running, and I still picked up 2 Trojans last night. ::b

The annoying thing is, only Mbam picked them up when I ran a scan.

Almost certain they must be from an email.

Did you get the names of them? If not,

Open MBAM -> Logs -> double click the last log.
You should be able to read what it found and removed, or:
Click Edit -> Select All -> Edit -> Copy, then paste it on here.

SAS Pro should have auto updated so may not have had the definitions.
Did you open any attachments from emails?

All were up to date, and no I don't open attachments only from known mail.

Someone had a similar problem here.

It appears that if it is a genuine setup.exe file it is in the wrong place.
Had you downloaded anything yesterday and then installed it, maybe an update to a program, SAS had a version update in the last couple of days that involved a new setup.exe file.

John,
The registry key alarm means that the Antivirus XP trojan or one of the newer versions may have got to your computer:

Run another QUICK scan with MBAM and see if it turns up again.

I updated and ran it last night as I do every Monday.

I also ran it again last night doing a full scan, and it was clear.

I can run them again tonight.

Only downloads were the updates.

If you are showing clear then it should be fine.

A quick scan should only take about 3 minutes, so for peace of mind, run a quick scan.

Run Ccleaner tonight when you have finished, both the registry cleaner and the cleaner.

Ran that last night as well, have to shut down Firefox though. ::b

Mbams is running and nearly done, no virus reports yet.

Why didn't the others pick it up, prior to Mbam.

Think mbams on a go slow :shock:

Could any of this be connected to SIW or advanced system care, which was linked to last week.
