I wanted to post this message just in case there are some people out
there who have had this Trojan Horse trot it's way into thier
C:\Program Files\Common Files\updater\wupdater.exe It's name is Trojan
Horse Downloader.Keenval.J
Althought the AVG virus detector wouldn't heal or remove this virus
(if you want to call it that) manually removing the entire 'updater'
file works, after you stop using the application... What I mean by
'stop using the application' is: hitting Ctrl, Alt and Delete, (if
your using XP)choosing the Processes tab and clicking the wupdater.exe
and clicking 'End Process'. After which you should be able to delete
the actual file and it's contents.
So far, I have had no problems with this Trojan Horse or symptoms of
it's presence save for the initial warning of it's being on the
computer. I know nothing about it except for the assumption that it's
spyware and possibly a cause of trouble while shutting down your
computer.
If there is anything else I should know about this, or some other
suggestions for me concerning this little guy or it's removal please
post and let us all know. Thanks a ton!
