Trojan xfv and others

I have a computer that has several viruses on it. Most notably it has a trojan.xfv virus on it. This computer had avg on it and that is how I was notified of the situation. I uninstalled avg to get rid of the alert which was about every two minutes. I have downloaded Ewido but due to the incredible slowness of the system it takes forever to even start up. I have heard of hjt but have no experience with it. I can handle myself around a computer so some steering in the correct direction would be great and any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Welcome to WindowsBBS Forums.

I would try a safe mode scan with Ewido before proceeding with the following instructions. Just let it take its time to scam. depending on how many infections you have, it could be a while.

Here is how we like to begin our analysis of your pc:

For starters, if you do not have them yet, please DL and run AdAware & Spybot Search & Destroy. AdAware and Spybot Search & Destroy are 2 of the most trusted apps in the security area. They are both free, compliment each other nicely, and do not use a lot of resources. They can be found here:

Spybot Search & Destroy v.1.4
AdAware SE Free v1.06r

With AdAware and Spybot: DL, follow the install instructions, check for updates, then scan, repair/remove/quarantine anything found. Reboot before next scan with whichever app is next. The reason for running these apps, is to clean up some of the other 'crapware' on your pc, which, in turn, will make deciphering your HJT log, easier.

Then we use 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.
