Something Awful...

[magenta321]

I downloaded a trojan.

Since then, this horrible "your privacy guard" has attached itself to my computer. It's in my toolbar on IE. It is sending me constant error messages. It changed my desktop. Help, help help!

Crap cleaner and AVG are not getting rid of this thing. I will post a hijackthis log if anyone can tell me what to do.

(As I write this, it's underlining the following words too: trojan, toolbar, hijackthis...)

Ugh. You've tried booting in safe mode?

[magenta321]

Yes, and it helped somewhat. I ended up getting Avast on a recommendation of a friend. That detects the trojan, somewhat. It doesn't get whatever puts it back on. Spybot is the thing that seems to work the best. I removed 12 traces of the thing, but it's still there (it restores itself...). I've gotten infected before but I've never had this much trouble getting rid of anything. I was up til midnight or so last night trying, and I've tried all morning and all evening so far. I'm very frustrated.

[mjfrombuffalo[$]]

Time to wipe the disk and reinstall...???

[magenta321]

I think (knock on wood!) I got it.

One componant of it was smitfraud-c and there is a smitfraud fix, if any of you ever get this. The fix got my desktop back (well, it erased the malware one anyway) and it stopped whatever was connecting to the internet and making avast say "warning, warning."

When I scanned with spybot it would still reappear, however. As a last ditch effort before I took it to someone, I thought I'd try adaware. That took off whatever that last smitfraud-c thing spybot kept finding was. I think

I'm never downloading anything EVER again! Instead of Britney Spears "Gimme More" video, I got porn and a virus that took me about 24 hours to remove...

[Prepoia[$]]

I'm surprised that she uses a Trojan!

[magenta321]

LOL.

Yes, and when I was explaining it to a friend last night I said "my computer got an STD from Britney's video."

[conradd]

I've tried a number of antispyware/antivirus products but the one that I like best is Spysweeper.

[lynnzop[$]]

Ugh, I'd be tempted to download a lot of things, but not Britney's video.

Glad you got it fixed, Margaret!
