Thread: Plagued by Dropper.delf.3.L Please help

    Exclamation Plagued by Dropper.delf.3.L Please help

    Hello. Every evening at precisely the same time AVG warns that a trojan has been found. This has been going on for a week now and I have done everything I can to try to resolve the issue.
    Such as: shutting off system restore, running, spybot, adaware, spysweeper, avg, the list goes on.
    The trojan gets detected and supposedly removed but returns the following evening again.
    It created a temp folder under C: with installer2.exe in it the first cpl nites, now it is creating various folders with different names each time....tricky little pest.

    Can anyone please help me to get rid of this pest?
    Appreciate your assistance.

    btw: do you know if the viruses is located in C:/System VOlume information ? some AV's can't remove it from there because the folder is system protected...

    as instructed on symantec site, I ran their test and of course it came up with Infected warning. Yet all it tells me is
    " Search for the name of the virus(s) listed below on the Symantec Security Response site for removal information. "
    "C:\Documents and Settings\Name\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\4BLJAAND\WindowsUpdate00592[1].exe is infected with Trojan Horse "

    It is not telling me which trojan horse??????????????

    Lady:

    Go here and download HijackThis. Run it, save the log, (don't fix anything yet) and then post the log here as a text file attachment and I'll take a look, (or someone else will if I'm slow).

    Before you try Hijack This I suggest you go to start and then Run and type "msconfig" without quotes. Click on the "startup" tab and look for anything suspicious. If you find anything suspicious google it and try to determine if it's safe yourself, if you can't then tell us what you found here and we will try and help you. Once you know that something is not safe then uncheck it and click ok, you will probably need to restart your computer. If this does not work then try everything else that everyone is telling you to do.

    Then post a hijackthis log.

    Before you run HijackThis,

    Get updates for your Antivirus and AdAware/SpyBot etc.

    Boot into safe mode and empty your browser cache and history. Go into Windows Explorer and find your Windows Temp file..delete everything it will let you (it only moves them to the recycle bin).

    Now run your antivirus, antispyware, antitrojan etc software, also in safe mode.

    Then reboot and run HijackThis

    You might as well get rid of as much rubbish as you can before setting about the stubborn ones
