  • How to remove a Trojan allowing horse to the my computer when I did a scan? It's URGENT

    How to remove a Trojan allowing horse to the my computer when I did a scan?  There were 2 Trojan horses that was the same things and 1 was deleted and the other was allowed.  How can I remove it?  They are as follows:

    Trojan horse: JS / Redirected.EV - severe.    One was at 10:07 - deleted; the other was at 10:05 - authorized.  This is urgent if this Trojan horse is in my computer.  No threat in future analyses.  This means - he went at 10:05 and was withdrawn at 10:07.  I do not know, so need help.  Thank you charge.

    Hello

    Preferable to analyze with other programs to ensure that everything has been detected and removed.

    If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
    scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
    resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be harder to detect as
    the cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
    to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
    its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
    extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

    It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
    the regular windows when you can.

  • Remove a Trojan horse from shared folders win32:fraudload - p "file not found" error creating

    Hi guys,.

    I have spent the last two weeks to try to remove a Trojan horse and thought someone might have an overview. My system includes:

    -VMWare 2.0.6

    -Windows XP

    -Snow Leopard

    -Time capsule from Apple

    in any case, I ran Avast Anti Virus on Windows XP on virtual drive "Z:" shared between Windows XP and Snow Leopard and it detected two win32:fraudload - Trojan horse p.

    After that remove the trojan horses without problems... until I have leave the merger and tried to reopen an XP session and received the dreaded 'file not found', making it impossible to open XP. Fortunately, I have several copies of the virtual machine saved on the time capsule. I reinstalled the VM at least ten times, but it stops working once I remove Trojans.

    Reinstalling XP does not seem to be a solution because the infected files reside on the virtual server shared drive.

    Any suggestions? Should I try to remove Trojan horses by installing Avast on OSX?

    Thank you!

    S

    OK, so I just bellive that there is not any virus AT ALL.

    I mentioned that in all cases problems similar to yours, people used Avast.

Without the horses of Trojan or viruses have been detected. What is the program Windows Security.exe?
