Try the following first...
1) Download the following two items...
Trend Sysclean Package
http://www.trendmicro.com/download/dcs.asp
Latest Trend signature files.
http://www.trendmicro.com/download/pattern.asp
Create a directory.
On drive "C:\"
(e.g., "c:\New Folder")
or the desktop
(e.g., "C:\Documents and Settings\lipman\Desktop\New Folder")
Download SYSCLEAN.COM and place it in that directory.
Download the signature files (pattern files) by obtaining the ZIP file.
For example; lpt321.zip
Extract the contents of the ZIP file and place the contents in the same directory as
SYSCLEAN.COM.
2) Reboot your PC into Safe Mode and shutdown as many applications as possible
3) Using the Trend Sysclean utility, perform a Full Scan of your platform and
clean/delete any infectors found
4) Restart your PC and perform a "final" Full Scan of your platform
If that does not find and erradicate the Gaobot, email me and I can provide you with a
scanner which will. Due to licensing issues, I can't post the information in public. Just
remove ~nospam~.
