| My antivirus program has detected 2 virus on computer that cannot be removed.
|
| -Tojan Horse (howiper.exe)
| -UnSpyPC (filesafer23.exe)
|
| I have followed the directions provided by Norton requiring me to delete
| values from my the registery. It lists subkeys areas that the virus could be
| found. Basically it states that I should delete any value that refers to
| that particular file name. I have gone thru the subkeys but cannot idenify
| anything related to my 2 problems.
|
| The more specific the better.
|
| Thanks
| Can you refer me to another location that could address removal of these????
| I do not want to delete anything out of the register by accident....
There are anti virus News Groups specifically for this type of discussion.
microsoft.public.security.virus
alt.comp.virus
alt.comp.anti-virus
It always helps to indentify fully qualified path to the infectors, not just their names.
Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Multi_AV.exe
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.
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, Kaspersky, Exit this 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. http://www.ik-cs.com/multi-av.htm
