virus removal in CA antivirus

[Daniel]

CA antivirus found 10 files / entries on my computer that are infected
with various viruses including java shinwow and win32 cutwail, but it
does not give an option for removing these viruses. CA is upto date
and registered. How can I remove these viruses ?

3. Download/run Deckard's System Scanner:

David,

dss has apparently been temporarily removed due to the fact that there
is some sort of exploit attached to it. Techsupportforum recommends that
it be removed from all systems until further notice.

It isn't an exploit, its about a RootKit. Specifically the tdssserv RootKit.

"We found that a recent rootkit infection has been interfering with Deckard's System
Scanner (DSS) resulting in possible damage to the Operating System. As such, we have
pulled DSS from service, and strongly suggest you delete DSS.exe from your systems.

We shall publish news of an updated DSS.exe as it becomes available."

Thanks, David.

I should have published that link, but I was so distraught about the
news, and in the middle of resolving a deeply rooted problem on one of
the family systems, that I fuzzed.

All is well. MBAM fixed it.
