win32:SdBot-545[Trj]

the web's a bust - at least in english
no manual to read

win32:SdBot-545[Trj] is a recurring problem
I use avast for my AV but it can't clean it, mainly cos I didn't have a recovery DB

I move the file to the chest everytime

but keeps appearing in

"C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Local Settings\Temp";
"C:\WINDOWS\Temp"

everytime its moved with trz#.tmp where # is a numeral or counting in Hex
I've ran the avast worm cleaner
stinger
adaware
hijack this
window washer

most of that looks normal to me
msmsgs.exe could be the problem, I'll explain why in a minute

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyServer = ftp=168.10.79.7:2032;gopher=168.10.79.7:2032;http=208.38.40.72:8080 168.37.244.10:3128 209.91.207.161:8333;https=168.10.79.7:2032

this may well be the problem too as I was attempting to chain proxies

the rest looks legit to me as all the NV things are referring to my graphics card

now messenger, I fell victim to rpc exploit when downloading updates for windows messenger and I'm suspicious this trojan may have been carried on the msn messenger 6.2 update

and most of the time I use firefox anyway not IE

oh and I originally found it masquerading as trivial ftp

c:\windows\system32\TFTP3580

and thought I was clean :(

Why would chaining proxies be a problem? Are you using a software or simply plugged them in the browser? Regardless I have used chained proxies and it wasn't an issue... so more details?

Only advice is to DL a trial version of Nortn and check the system in safe mode with that. And I know it's not the greatest idea but if you want to get rid of it, why not try it like this?

Or maybe the www.symantec.com virus checker could remove it... give it a shot!

Turn off your system restore before attempting removal!!!!

I'll give it a shot but in my experience Norton sucks major arse

and no I didn't particularly think proxies were the problem but wondered ow they were magically added to the registry

Thanks all

Problem solved.

Turned out I hadn't ran Window Washer at all
and now that I have, the problem hasn't shown up since
