  Please keep in mind that Alureon is considered to be a rootkit and the recommended method to make sure that it is removed is a reformat and reinstallation of the operating system. I would carefully monitor my computer residual signs of infection.

• Active, vs running Virus/Trojan, Virus found in a file - is there a difference?

  Hello
  I have a question to detect an ACTIVE virus/malware/trojan, vs detect a file containing a virus/malware/trojan and if there is a difference.

  For example:

  I ran an a malwarebytes antimalware and a scan avira scan and found nothing on my XP machine.  I then ran the windows security scanner and found a Trojan horse relatively bad guy who he only partially removed.  then I looked at the newspaper and he told me that the file - it happened to be a .exe that was marked in a .pdf file - neither of which I had never opened on the computer.  This infected file is on a second hard drive on the machine, to basically what amounts to a backup copy of the files of a computer very elders who has long been retired from service.

  (1) thus, even if there were files on my machine which contained this nasty Trojan horse, but simply because the Trojan horse was detected in the file, that necessarily means that the Trojan horse has been really active and running and cause trouble?  That's why avira and malwarebytes Miss?

  (2) this sense, for example, when you go to the encyclopedia ms for info on the Trojan horse in question, the instructions talk about how this will affect C:\windows\system32... [some file here], but my scan pick up the Trojan horse in a file that is located on a second hard drive on my machine, that I brought to an old drive.  What I'm trying to say is that the safety of ms scanner did not find the trojan in the files and the registry locations where it 'should be active"according to microsoft, but rather he fundamentally in a .exe on one of my drives of data that just a dumpster of storage.

  (3) Finally, if a .zip file is found to contain malware/trojan, etc, it is a threat having this .zip archive on the compjuter - as long as she remains closed?  For example is it possible for a Trojan horse found during analysis, within a .zip, a problem file cause as long as .zip has not been opened?

  Thank you very much for any help to clarify these issues for me!

  Essentially, what you say is true. If you have an email that contains a virus if you click on the attachment to open it, you have the virus on a file on your computer. However, you have not activated the virus because you do not click the active file.

  So if I did a scan, some anti-virus can detect the file simply because it's there, but my computer is not infected, as I click on the link to the file. This is also why you will see a warning that does not open an email with a certain title like by clicking on the link will start the download.

  I hope this helps.

• Trojan Virus removal

  I have a Dell Inspron 620 about 13 months, running McAfee anti-virus software.

  I have 2 Trojan virus that cause problems, which is continually turn off the firewall.

  McAfee is detecting but fails to remove them.

  I'd like suggestions on the best way to deal with them. I looked on the net and it was suggested to run a full scan in safe mode, what I've done. It has not detected the virus so unable is not what.

  I was wondering if setting the computer to factory setting as it was delivered to me may be the answer, but don't know if it will detect Trojans.

  I am running Windows 7.

  Viruses are identified as: RDN/Generic BackDoor! SL

  eternalozzie

  Back up your data, format your hard drive... do complete a new installation of windows 7... No matter what all the experts say withdrawal from scratch is the best way to be sure... the fact that McAfee can bring them out of there means it's pretty clever trojan.

  Reinstalling Windows and to rewrite the MBR are sufficient. The hard drive cannot be formatted.

  It can also help to run a parser antivirus offline from a removable media, like who will deactivate the rootkit type defenses.

  Safari said that I have a Trojan virus (e.tre456_worm_osx). A solution at a given time was to install and run Malware bytes Anti-Malware program, but my Mac desktop computer only works OS10.6.8, and the bad-ware program does not support the OS10.6.8.  All solutions?

  Safari has no ability to detect malware. What you need to is-scam webpage. Delete Safari history and data from the Web site and/or restart Safari while you hold down the SHIFT key.

• After the abduction of a trojan virus, I still have no internet access

  After the abduction of a trojan virus, I still have no internet access with Internet explorer, Google Earth, or Yahoo Messenger. Attempt to update Yahoo Messenger from a download of update, a message indicates "Yahoo Messenger is unable to download files needed for installation. Please check the firewall settings and try again. It does not matter whether or not the firewall is disabled. Yahoo Messenger is able to connect, but not to show me the list of the rooms in the right panel. Firefox still works fine and all I use.

  Here are a few things to check after an infection or elimination:

  We will check your network connection properties.

  Some malware will alter these settings and your anti malware software can't tell if you have changed the malware changed them or so, after removal of infections, it will leave just the settings as he finds them (it is usually a good thing), but can leave your disabled Internet access.

  Click Start, run and enter in the box:

  Inetcpl.cpl

  Click OK to launch the Internet Properties Control Panel, choose connections, LANsettings.

  Or, in Internet Explorer click on tools, Options, connections, LAN settings.

  These settings control your Internet access for all browsers.

  (If you make settings, write them down so you can undo changes if you must)

  On most environments, not independent, there will be check automatically detect settings and the other boxes are (as Proxy Server) is disabled.

  Automatically detect the setting checked =
  Use the automatic configuration script = unchecked
  Use a proxy server for your LAN = not checked

  Make changes, then click OK, OK to save the settings.

  Check your settings for how your network adapter gets its IP and DNS settings.  On most home systems, these parameters must be defined for the system will get the settings automatically.

  If you have another system on your network that works, you can compare these settings with the settings of the system which is not a work and make adjustments.

  Click Start, settings, Control Panel, network connections, and then select your current network connection.

  On the general tab, click Properties.

  In the drop down in the Middle, find and highlight the selection of Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties.

  In the Internet Protocol Properties window, the usual selections are to get the IP and DNS settings automatically.  Select the following two options:

  Obtain an IP address automatically
  Get a DNS server address automatically

  The rest of the options on the screen should then be grayed out/not available.

  Make changes, then click OK, OK to save the settings.

  Restart your computer and test your connection.

  If it still does not work, check your settings are still in place after a restart and then release and renewal IP of your network device configuration settings.

  Click Start, run and enter in the box:

  cmd

  Click OK to open a command prompt window, and then type the following commands:

  ipconfig/release

  ipconfig / renew

  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.

  Microsoft has none of the unsolicited telephone calls to help you fix your computer

  In this type of scam cybercriminals are calling you and claim to be of Support technique Microsoft. They offer help with your computer problems. Once scammers have earned your trust, they try to steal and damage your computer with malicious software, including viruses and spyware.

  Although the law enforcement can trace phone numbers, often authors use pay telephones, disposable cell phones or stolen cellular phone numbers. Better avoid fooling themselves rather than try to repair the damage afterwards.

  Treat all unsolicited sceptically telephone calls. Don't provide personal information.

  If you receive an unsolicited call from someone who claims to be from Technical Support Microsoft, hang up. We do not have such calls.
