My home computer (running Windows XP Home SP2) became infected with the
trojan Backdoor Graybird just after the holidays. For several days Norton AV
2006 would show the detection and removal at every start up. Since the most
recent windows update it has not appeared at start up but after reading in
detail the modification the trojan does to the windows registry, how can I be
sure it is gone? After checking the registry in the suggested location (
HKEY_CURRENT_USER, software, microsoft, windows nt, current version, windows
folder) the only questionable object I can see is an AB file with the name
'Programs', the type is' REG_SZ' and the data reads 'com exe bat pif cmd'.
The only thing I now for certain is that the Backdoor Graybird trojan uses
these file types in attachments to infect computers. Not sure where to go
from here. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
