dialer 9. trojan virus

[George Mylne]

Hey guys,

i recently installed broadband on my computer, and when i was doing that i
was prompted to disable my virus protection. This of course lead to several
virus's getting on my computer. I've already downloaded AVG and SpyBot -
Search and Destroy, almost each time i run these programs as well as norton,
i pick up a virus call dialer 9. trojan virus, and also successfully delete
it. It seems however there is something else that keeps reproducing it, any
way the whole gist of this post is to find out if there is something that
could fix this problem, or even disable it.

Also what this virus does is when i click on a link it redirects me to some
random site.......very frustraiting.

If someone could get back to me soon that would be awesome,

Cheers

No, it didn't. [viruses]

You don't get viruses from broadband, you get them from opening
infected emails. You DO however, get slopped up because you don't have
a firewall blocking your computer from hits from the outside world.

Further, why would your broadband company want you to disable
anything? Mine doesn't care a whit. I have no "broadband company
software."

The prompt might have been the usual 'be sure you have disabled any anit
virus software' etc. And if one asks for this the best thing to do is turn
off the modem (and router if you have one) and then install what you need
to.

Use the tools described here ...you can also try TDS-3 which i found
to be one of the best malware removers .

You can send me the HijackThis logs if you want to.

Don't forget to turn your system restore off

3.) Spybot Search & Destroy

Spybot - Search & Destroy can detect and remove spyware of different
kinds from your computer. Spyware is a relatively new kind of threat
that common anti-virus applications do not yet cover. If you see new
toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you didn't intentionally
install, if your browser crashes, or if you browser start page has
changed without your knowing, you most probably have spyware. But even
if you don't see anything, you may be infected, because more and more
spyware is emerging that is silently tracking your surfing behaviour
to create a marketing profile of you that will be sold to
advertisement companies. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm in
trying to see if something snooped into your computer, too

4.) Hijack This


A general homepage hijackers detector and remover. Initially based on
the article Hijacked!, but expanded with almost a dozen other checks
against hijacker tricks. It is continually updated to detect and
remove new hijacks. It does not target specific programs/URLs, just
the methods used by hijackers to force you onto their sites. As a
result, false positives are imminent and unless you are sure what
you're doing, you should always consult with knowledgable folks (e.g.
the forums) before deleting anything.
A rudimentary HijackThis log tutorial by me is available here.
The official HijackThis QuickStart for posting on the SpywareInfo
forums is available here.

And the noobie then assumed that he wasn't supposed to re-enable his
AV after installationof the software. Just as he he assumes that
viruses simply jump onto a non-protected system without any action on
the user's part.

Just like he probably doesn't realize that using his real email
address on Usenet newsgrous is why he gets so much spam and
virus-infected emails. (He probably clicks on the attachments in
those emails, too! <g>

That we dont know. There is so much garbage floating around that all it
takes it to be on the net for two minutes and something tries to get in.

And... assuming he doesnt have a firewall, everyone here knows that many of
not most viruses try to use windows exploits to upload and run viruses
without the user having to so much as lift a finger.

Needs a dose of paranoia, perhaps?

You don't get viruses from broadband, you get them from opening

That's silly - - viruses can come from almost anywhere - - worms and trojans too. XP out of the box will get hit quick from
the internet no matter if broadband or dialup only just broadband is quicker.

You're forgetting the distinction that worms and trojans are not viruses.

depends on the definition of virus... by at least one entirely
legitimate definition, worms and viruses are the same thing...

You said "You don't get viruses from broadband . . .". I added worms and trojans as an ALSO - - besides some
worms and trojans ARE viruses and some peeps insist that ALL worms are viruses AND that most viruses are
trojans.

What you said is still silly.
