| Whenever I plug in the broadband cable, and every 15 mins or so after that, a
| virus program tries to launch from my temporary internet files folder {I'm
| not neccessarily browsing the web with any program when this happens}. It
| can only be deleted manually after my av software has tried to delete it
| (although access is denied). The virus is Trojan Horse.They always have a
| similar file name srv***[1].exe or win***.tmp
| Has someone got my IP address and for some warped reason set things up to
| send these files regularly or what?
| I have lately had the computer regularly freezing, I suspect a virus is the
| cause as performance has been sleek until recently and I run it pretty tight.
|
| Example of full path:C:\Documents and Settings\myname\Local
| Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\H8DHCN7P\srvsso[1].exe
|
| Does anyone know how to block this program and possible related files from
| appearing on my computer? Specific file block? Specific IP Block? Can I find
| out where it comes from?
|
| Thank You
If you are using any version of Sun Java that is prior to JRE Version 5.0 update 5,
then you are strongly urged to remove any/all versions that are prior to JRE/JSE
Version 5.0 update 5. 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/JSE Version 5.0 Update 6
be installed ASAP.
Simple check, look under...
C:\Program Files\Java
The only folder under that folder should be the latest version...
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06

For non-viral malware...
Please download, install and update the following software...
* Ad-aware SE v1.06
http://www.lavasoft.de/
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
http://www.lavasoft.de/ms/index.htm
* SpyBot Search and Destroy v1.4
http://security.kolla.de/
http://www.safer-networking.org/microsoft.en.html
* SuperAntiSpyware
http://www.superantispyware.com/superantispywarefreevspro.html
After the software is updated, I suggest scanning the system in Safe Mode.
I also suggest downloading, installing and updating BHODemon for any Browser Helper Objects
that may be on the PC.

For viral malware...
* Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Multi_AV.exe
To use this utility, perform the following...
Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close
Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }
NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your
FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files.
C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}
This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal Mode.
This way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor's web site.
The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Kaspersky, Exit this menu and Reboot the PC.
You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you can
download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded the files
needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode [F8 key
during boot] and re-run the menu again and choose which scanner you want to run in Safe
Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode.
When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive PDF help
file.
