How can I remove Bloodhound.Exploit.56

Hi All!

I got Windows XP about in June. My worst fear was getting a bad virus, or any like all, of which I got on my old ME. About.. lets say a month and a half from now, NORTON ANTIVIRUS notified me of this Bloodhound.Exploit.56 getting on my computer.

I haven't heard of it since, but I believe its still on my PC. I haven't had me affect me at all, but I dont know if its monitoring me or what, but I want it gone. I found this page on Nortons site:
http://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2005-122814-2600-99

It has most of its fields blank.

Can anyone help me remove this or give me more info?

Thank you,
Jake

Hello and welcome to WindowsBBS Forums.

If this was found a month and a half ago, and you're just now getting round to looking for it, you would already be toast. If it was a keylogger, they would have cleaned you out.

It's actually probably a flase\positive, but we can get a couple of online scans if you wish and run HijackThis as well.

Do you recall what the file path was for the threat? Let us know.

Panda ActiveScan

• Click the 'Scan your PC' button. ( You may have to disable any pop up blockers)
• Then press the green 'Check Now' button.
• Enter your country and state along with a valid email address.
• Allow the ActiveX install, it may be a few minutes for all components. (For XP SP 2 watch for the yellow bar at the top of IE)
• Once installation is complete you will need to select a device to scan. Please select 'My Computer' and the scan will begin.
• Once the scan is done, click the 'See report' button, then the 'save report' button. Be sure to save the log file created in a place easy for you to find.

• Click the Clean now>> button.

HiJackThis v:1.99.1zip.
DL the zip file to your desktop, then create a new folder on your C drive, called 'HJT' or 'HijackThis'. Then unzip the files to the new folder. When you run HijackThis.exe from C:\HJT folder and have it "Fixed checked" it will create a backup file of modifications to use if restore is necessary which is easily accessible.

Run the program, and press Scan. You will notice the Scan button will turn into a "Save Log" button. Save the log and Post that log onto this topic. DO NOT DELETE or modify anything yet, as some of it is needed to keep your system in proper working order.
