systemwarning.com Trojan ?

[RJK]

Hello lobo, it is fun but, it's also MASSIVELY DAMNED time consuming, and
all the more annoying when, on this particular PC, roughly a year ago, I had
spent a considerabe number of hours tracking and cleaning out spy/ad-ware.
My memory's getting so bad, I can't even remember what was in his machine
the last time ! ...it may come back to me shortly.....

I'm currently looking into the McAfee / TSR type "command line scanner" that
David H Lipman mentioned, I might give it a go. This is despite a long
standing dislike of McaFee software when, many years ago, I tried several
successive versions of it over quite a long preiod of time, and it, more
often than, would not coexist very well with other software. But !
....that's was in the days of Windows 95 / OSR2 ...I think ...so perhaps
it's improved since then ! ....I think Computer Associates have been
doing a similar thing for some time, I'll have to look into that one as
well.

regards, Richard

...final word on this thread ? , but first of course is a VERY big
thankyou to David H. Lipman for such brilliant help.

I took A****'s computer back to him in a much better state than I received
it ! I also gave him a MAJOR "dressing down" for allowing in the malware
that he'd allowed into his PC, ...for a second time ! ...last year he
allowed malware into his PC and got a vigorous telling off from myself !
He mentioned that his teenage sons are now using his computer, and I
suggested that he disallaw them from using it unless he's present.
"iTunes" music download software was installed and I suspect it was that
which had the NewsDotNet malware/marketing software attached to it. I
tried explaining to him that lots of "free" "TryBeforeYouBuy" software
often has malware attached to it, a fact which is sometimes clearly stated
in the Licensing details for such software, on which people are too quick
to click OK.

Thank you again.

regards, Richard

It's because of Sony's use of RootKit technology for copyright protection. A system that
was subsequently exploited by malware creators. Sony was sued and in the first case settled
the case. More law suits to follow.

It is NOT a TSR - Terminate and Stay Resident.

There is a big difference between the command line scanner and the GUI you may have used.

There is also a big difference between the corp/enterprise McAfee VirusScan and the retail
McAfee VirusScan.

Richard:

I am glad I could help.
In the future I will be just as glad to assist you again.

Mu Multi AV Scanning Tool was created because I saw a niche where people need to remove
viruses and Trojans. So I wrote multiple scanner menu driven utility. This utility
provides; Mcafee, Sophos, Trend Micro and Kaspersky and none of them need to pre-exist on
the PC.

Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Multi_AV.exe

http://www.ik-cs.com/multi-av.htm


I also have specific tools that are wrapped around a Mcafee only based command line scanner
process and are specialazed for specific malware. This way there are hard coded
instructions for the malware's removal plus the added benefit of signature and heuristic
malware detection and removal.

The following is for the Backdoor.Haxdoor Trojan and Raze Spyware.
{ This is a nasty Trojan using RootKit technology. }

Download Haxdoor.exe from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Haxdoor.exe


The following is for the following malware; SpySheriff, SpyAxe, SmitFraud Trojan, some
variants of the Apropos Trojan and Apropos adware, PS Guard, SurfSideKick, Search Maid,
Virtual Maid, AntivirusGold, AdwareDelete, Daily Weather Forecast and Security IGuard.

Download SmitFraud.exe from the URL --

The following is for the Vundo Trojan and Adware-Virtumundo

Download WinFixerFix.exe from the URL --
