Re: sinteri virus

Well, just got back !

While burning multi-av to cd-r, I did a Google and found
http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=124&t=458854
where someone said use:-
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/trojan.abwiz.removal.tool.html
to remove sinteri, so I downloaded and took that with me but, it didn't find
anything.

I copied the multi-av directory to his c:\drive - booted up in Safe mode -
and did the Sophos sweep, (that took over 80 minutes on his now aged
xp1800), and it found two items:-
Troj/Dwnldr-AEQ and
Troj/Dwnldr-CBY
located in restore points ? i.e. there was big line of nos. and dashes
which looked registry keys in curly brackets, and _restore was in the
pathname somewhere
and the 2 files ? containing the 2 items found, were named A000????.exe
or something very like that.

Anyway, I left him running the no.2 option in multi-av - 'Trend' :-)

Of interest (maybe) was that before I got there he had run up to date
Adaware and Spybot sweeps and they didn't find anything !

regards, Richard
