  • 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.

  • 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.

    Try again with some virus/malware scanning programs. You must use all of the programs, because each detect different malware. Make sure you update each program to get the latest version before doing a scan.

  • 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.

  • After fighting a multitude of Trojans, viruses and spyware, I can't connect to Windows Update and don't worry I'm still infected!

    So I'm trying to save my dad's computer (and its files + settings) after that he was struck with a variety of bad guys: Alureon, FakeSysDef, Blacole, Gen-Nullo, difficulty system, etc..

    Has finally got the office programs and files back after the entire MBAM, TDSSKiller, SuperAntiSpyware, etc., of jazz, but STILL not get things all the way back to the normal and good scans with MSSE, MBAM and MS Security Scanner are clean, I am afraid that the computer is always infested with something or the other...  (mainly due to my inability to use / access Windows Update: receive the 0x800A0046 error code AND get it published (feat of Java Blacole) out of a Flash drive, I used my system between the two machines... stupid, I know)

    so, here are the details: Dell XPS: Windows XP Professional, Version 2002, Service Pack 3: seems to have been hit in early November that there is no fixes/updates after 11/14 or more.

    I told him years not to run multiple antivirus + spyware programs at the same time, but he ignored me consistently.  I have since completely uninstalled Norton (using their removal tool on a newly created user account, as I couldn't make it work on sound - both are admin ETCA) and Webroot and installed MSSE.  At one point he swindled with system security 2011 and from there installed PC Fix, difficulty system and any other fake antivirus, it can click.  When the first infestation (before everything went to sh * t) I was takled him thanks to a restoration system and scan... About a week later, he ignored previous orders on not clicking or not to install anything without calling me everything first and got the rest of them (see list above).

    This time, we could not access any program, web page, without failure, System Restore, its own user account, etc etc.  Somehow (with MBAM, TDSSKiller, etc) I entered the computer, installed process explorer, started the happy hunting and following 'view' & restore icons/programs/etc.  And yet we always face the dilemma of Windows Update, the loss of its sites Favorites/tabs, loss of / NO content in administrative tools (both through the control panel and Start Menu: file is empty when it is open) and inability to use the system restore.

    I found this thread ( http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-windows_update/windows-update-not-working-ie8xphome-error/db7956c9-d77c-e011-9b4b-68b599b31bf5 ) in which the fellow was in THE SAME EXACT POSITION I'm NOW - for a tee - who said: "those who would be interested - this problem has been resolved by an engineer from climbing on the Team Support of Windows XP.  It was "Removing Group Policy" through a registry fix, "Reloading safety model" via several downloads and finally run a .bat file also downloaded. "So I guess I need help do the same.

    Can someone help me or offer any other advice or assistance to get this sorted out?  Thank you in advance for anything you can do!

    See you soon,.

    Katherine

    Hi Mike,.

    Yes, I tried all these steps without success...

    Buuuuut...

    I ended up calling the Microsoft's Technet support, which helped me to identify two registry entries that the horde of virus/trojan/rootkit had created changed, that I had not already taken AND finished the download of some clever little program (difficulty WU Utility I think?) which allowed me to reset + reregister the BITs, cryptographic, & System Restore services...  That did the trick (although, as far as I know; dear ol ' pop reported no problems at the moment ;-))

    Thank you Jeebus! Laughing out loud

    See you soon,.
