Ive been recently hit by a bloodhound.w32.ep virus. Tried using the multi_AV
tool but it doesnt work for me because it doesnt seem to be able to download
the files (with the firewall turned off), so I was just wondering if there is
any alternative solutions.

What is your anti-virus programme?

This virus is nearly 4 years old! do you run any AV software besides the
Multi_AV tool?
According to Symantec the bloodhound w32.ep cannot run under windows XP.

There are anti virus News Groups specifically for this type of discussion.

microsoft.public.security.virus
alt.comp.virus
alt.comp.anti-virus

There are four different anti virus modules in the Multi AV Scanning Tool. Are you saying
you can't download *any* needed files for any modules ? When did you download the Multi AV
Scanning Tool ? The tool is updated reguarly.

Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Multi_AV.exe

How are you connected to the Internet ? Broadband ? Dial-up ?

bloodhound.w32 indicates a family type of Symantec Heuristic detection. Are you able to
download NAV/SAV signatures ?

There are plenty of alternatives but you need to explain the situation more fully.

Two things...

The first is WHAT is still there ?
That is what is teh fully qualified name and path to the file that is deemed to be infected
by the Heuristic detection ?

The second is has NAV quarantined the file ?

Hmm, the popup indicating the filename and virus from my norton antivirus has
disappeared, but the popup on the windows taskbar stating "Your computer is
infected" still remains, as well as the "Spyware detected on your comp"
warning sign across the desktop.

How'd you check for the virus again, so that you'd know which file to
quarantine (can't recall the exact file).

Two part reply..

Perform Part 1 then perform Part 2.

If the first two parts don't work, perform the alternate utility.

It is suggested that you execute each tool in Normal Mode then in Safe Mode.

If you are using any version of Sun Java that is prior to JRE Version 5.0,
then you are strongly urged to remove any/all versions that are prior to JRE
Version 5.0. There are vulnerabilities in them and they are actively being exploited.
It is possible that is how you got infected with malware.

Therefore, it is highly suggested that if there are any prior versions of Sun Java
to Version 5 on the PC that they be removed and Sun Java JRE Version 5.0 Update 6
be installed ASAP.

Part 1
-----------

Use noahdfear's SmitFraud and SpyAxe removal tool -- SmitRem.exe
http://noahdfear.geekstogo.com/click...click.php?id=1

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic36868.html


Part 2
-----------

Download SmitFraud.exe from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/SmitFraud.exe

Execute; SmitFraud.exe { Note: You must accept the default of C:\McAfee }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your
FireWall to enable WGET.EXE to download the needed McAfee related files.

Execute; c:\mcafee\clean.bat
{ or Double-click on 'Clean Link' in c:\mcafee }

A final report in HTML format called C:\mcafee\Normal_ScanReport.HTML or
C:\mcafee\Safe_ScanReport.HTML will be generated. At the end of the scan, it will be
displayed in your browser (Opera, FireFox or Internet Explorer). However, if you are using
WinXP, Win2K or Win2003 your system will be left in a state where you will have to manually
shutdown/reboot the PC. On Win9x/ME platforms the report will not be shown in your bowser
but your PC will automatically be shutdown. It is suggested that you move the report out of
c:\mcafee before performing another scan.

It would be best to scan in both Safe Mode and in Normal Mode and save a copy of the HTML
report for each session.


ALTERNATE:

Secured2K's SpyAxe, PSGuard, Smitfraud, Sinnaka and Alemod removal tool.

Please Copy and Paste the contents of the HTML Log files;
C:\mcafee\Normal_ScanReport.HTML & C:\mcafee\Safe_ScanReport.HTML in your reply.

Sorry I was in-camp for the past week. In the military you see, so weekdays
are out for me. I'll get down to your solutions as soon I've got the time,
schedule's pretty tight.
