My AVG antiviral has found the Trojan Backdoor.Niber.E on my computer. The
program was able to remove the activator file (don't know what else to call
it) netdc.exe,so I don't think it can actually run. I could only find
reference to the above name by running "netdc.exe" through Google and
backtracking to see what Trojan it was associated with. Several problems
exist right now and I don't know if they are all associated with the Trojan
or some are separate issues. One, the antiviral program keeps telling me
that I have a Trojan in a Windows restore folder, but neither the antiviral
or I can access that folder to remove it. Apparently something in the
registry is trying to start netdc.exe but can't find it. Second I can't
use system restore, it just refuses to run successfully. Third, I can't
right click on the start button, or on the desktop without the hourglass
appearing and tying up that function until I reboot. I have even tried to
highlight things on the desktop and hit the delete button but the same thing
happens. Once that occurs I can no long switch from window to window since
whenever the curser moves to the tray, the hourglass appears.
Is there a fix for this Trojan? Are the other problems related to the
Trojan, and if not, can I fix them. I am on the verge of backing up
selected items and reinstalling the software.
I'm using a HP media center PC m495c and running Windows media center. I
also have AVG v. 6.0 and Zone Alarm firewall. The windows firewall if
turned on and I keep the antiviral, the firewall and all Windows patches
updated religiously. I am also running EarthLink's full suite of protection
programs and never open any attachments that can harbor viruses. Thanks.
