    Turn off system restore, reboot and then turn it back on. It sounds as though it's in your system restore files. XP puts them off limits to anything so you're virus program can't clean it. If you turn off system restore the restore files will be deleted. This should take care of the problem. You wouldn't want to use those restore files anyway because if you did, you'd have the virus in your system again. To turn off system restore, right click on my computer then on properties and then on the system restore tab. Don't forget to turn it back on.

    Trojan Remover

    Zander - thanks for the reply
    followed your instrux - fingers and toes crossed that it works -
    this did not cause me any problems (so far) - only knew that it was there when I had left my computer idle for about an hour or so and when I cambe back to it his note would be there - so like I say - will have to wait and see

    thanks again

    trojan virus

    :(
    was just doing a spybot check and the pop up appeared so I guess I did not get rid of it - any other suggestions?

    Reappearance of this indicates more problems exist.
    Get CWShredder [link below], have all browsers closed, use the Fix Option. When it is done, reboot.
    Be sure Spybot is updated, then run Spybot in Advanced Mode, go to Settings under the header Settings, scroll down to Automation\System Start, select to

    Automatically run at System Startup
    Run check on program start
    Fix all problems on program start

    Then reboot.

    Then use HijackThis [link is below] to do a scan, and then post the log on here, don't do anything with HJT yet. Advice will be given.

    first off, thanks for replying

    cw shredder - System was completely clean - rebooted

    spybot - scan showed no immediate threats were found but 2 popups from AVG showed
    1st - Trojan horse Downloader.Keenval.B is found in file
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Updater\delupdat.exe
    2nd - Trojan horse Downloader. Keenval.I is found in file
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\updater\sui.exe

    these 2 pop ups came during the spybot scans

    ran the Spybot in Advanced Mode and changed the settings to run at system startup - and the 2 virus pop ups showed up again -

    scan showed no immediate threats - rebooted

    running out of room so will have to continue on a 2nd post

    First, copy HJT into it's own folder, it does make backups, and the temp folder is not a good place to keep them.
    Have all browsers closed and remove these items.

    Reboot.

    Delete the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Updater and C:\WINDOWS\system32\SearchBar folders.

    If you used Spybot or one of your other programs to lock your Home or Search pages, you will need to lock it again. If you did not have access in the first place, you will now.
    The AVG popups shows you that it is working very well. Spybot was reading code that matched what is in it's virus definition tables, and warned you.

    In addition to what Mark said, if you have system restore running again, turn it off and leave it off until you get this cleaned. You don't need these things showing up in there again. ;)

    ========
    To keep it from happening again -Think Protection -
    download and install

    And hit windowsupdate if you havent recently and keep any program that uses the net up to date.


    SpywareBlaster will block bad ActiveX and malevolent cookies.
    Javacool's SpywareBlaster


    IE-SPYAD puts over 4000 sites in your restricted zone so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all.
    IESPYAD'S

    Both are very small free programs that you run once, and then just occasionally to check for updates.

    also I suggest you uninstall SpyKiller see here http://www.windowsbbs.com/showthread.php?t=31287

    am able to report that so far no virus of any kind has turned up - so looks like everything worked like it should have - I did do a AVG scan last night and it detected 2 viruses and AVG cleared them both - I dont know if they were new or were the same ones - anyway they are gone - (altho dont want to speak too loud or rejoice too much)

    thanks again for all your help!

    Good! Glad to hear you've got it sorted out. One suggestion though. If you did the virus scan after you last turned system restore back on, I'd take the time to shut it off again and then restart it. If you turned on system restore before the virus scan, this would mean that the viruses are most likely in your restore files too. That alone won't cause you any problem at all but if you should have to use SR in the near future and you choose one of the restore points that contains the viruses, you'd be getting them back again.
