| David here are the results from virus tool. Guess from this avast was
right
| enough and thought said file was a trojano-2502.
| Very usefull service thanks for your advice. I know nothing about
vtsqr.dll
| and what role it plays in XP or other software but I know when it is not
| there XP throws up many run error boxes.
| This experience has been very interesting and changed my use and
thoughts on
| Virus scanners.
|
| I have yet to work out how to block ports on the router etc as you also
| recommended.
| Thanks

OK - Thanx...
McAfee 4589 09.23.2005 potentially unwanted program Adware-Virtumundo
It is non-viral malware in the class of adware.
Please download, install and update the following software...
Ad-aware SE v1.06
http://www.lavasoft.de/
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
SpyBot Search and Destroy v1.4
http://security.kolla.de/
After the software is updated, I suggest scanning the system in Safe Mode.
The following is to make sure no viral malware is on the PC.
NOTE: Before you scan with the following tool, disable Avast. Avast has
a habit of flaselt
decalring the Trend Micro Sysclean utility as having the VBS/Redlof. This
is a long
standing, known, False Positive declaration and can be avoided if Avast is
disabled.
Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Multi_AV.exe
It is a self-extracting ZIP file that contains the Kixtart Script
Interpreter {
http://kixtart.org Kixtart is CareWare } three batch files, five Kixtart
scripts, one Link
(.LNK) file, a PDF instruction file and two utilities; UNZIP.EXE and
WGET.EXE. It will
simplify the process of using; Sophos, Trend and McAfee Anti Virus
Command Line Scanners to
remove viruses, Trojans and various other malware.
C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}
This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in
Normal Mode. This
way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor’s web site.
The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Exit the menu and Reboot the PC.
You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files
or you can
download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have
downloaded the files
needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into
Safe Mode [F8 key
during boot] and re-run the menu again and choose which scanner you want
to run in Safe
Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal
Mode.
When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more
comprehensive PDF help
file.
To use this utility, perform the following...
Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close
Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }
NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to
go through your
FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files.
