W32/stanit

[Judy L]

Has anyone heard of or seen a message when they've done a virus scan
"System \restorevol info (then a wholelune of numbers and letters) .exe

and then it says Deny access W32/stanit

Trend online scanner does not show any viruses

Does anyone know how to get rid of W32/stanit please?

W32/Stanit seems to be affecting mostly European-based machines at this
point: http://www.google.com/ie?q=stanit&hl=en&lr=&c2coff=1&btnG=Search

For now, treat it like you would any piece of hijackware:

When all else fails, HijackThis

use. It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware.

Hello - I actually contacted a different forum, and think I have now solved
the problem. Many thanks for your suggestions.

YW. If you post the URL to your forum thread, I'll look in on it, if you
want.

As W32/Stanit was supposedly found in a System Restore file, disabling
System Restore (which deletes all Restore Points) and then re-enabling it
would be your fix, yes. I would encourage you, however, to create a new
Restore Point manually right now.

What about your posting of your HijackThis log to the other forum? What's
come of that? URL?

I didnt get around to it - sorry - after it worked ok - I wasnt getting any
errors msgs, and all seems well now. I will however do a restore point.

Thanks again
Judy
