I have a trojan on my PC the name of which
is 'scagent.exe'.
This trojan was discoverd when my McAfee viruscan, which
has up-to-date definintions, reported the trojan but would
not allow deletion, quarantine or clean. When I submit the
name scagent to the various virus scanner software
providers only Sophos had any details of what to look for
in the System32 folder and the registry. If I try to
download any tools to help to remove the trojan they seem
to be prevented by the scagent trojan.
As I am using XP with NTFS then I cannot see the drive to
remove the scagent manually from a bootable floppy, unless
there is a tool out there that allows file and directory
viewing from a DOS like environment.
The trojan name pops up at a number of points in the
registry so unless their is another solution I may have to
resort to deleting entries manually after the usual
precautions.
If anyone has any ideas please reply.
thanks in advance
