HELP ME OUT GUYS...!

Give a try to http://housecall.trendmicro.com in regular mode and/or safe mode with networking. You might also want to give TheCleaner a try. This program deals only with trojans and has a fairly decent reputation for removing them.

If it in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temporary Internet files \Content.IE5\8TQF4TM7\rdgHK208[1].exe, just clear your temporary internet files and dump your cashe and you can also clear it that way. But I would also follow MsMittens advice also.

what a headache guys?
My pc now is not bootung properly..
It crashes when it enters in windows, do you think that the virus crashed my boot sector?
I already tried to enter in safemode I cant enter in safemode,the SM with ntwrkng still the same..., I tried also the Last Known Good Configuration (your most recent settings that worked) still the same guys !!!
I have a lot of important files .....
what tips can you give me guys !!!
is their a command to recover my boot sector?

If you get to the Window's Splash screen, then it's not an issue with your boot sector as you have already booted. You might want to give the Recovery Console a try to see if it can fix the problem. What was the last thing you did before it started crashing? Did you remove/delete any files?

i didn't delete any files guys ...
It just happen it didn't enter in windows based....
I tried to enter RECOVERY CONSOLE
WHAT COMMAND WILL I SELECT GUYS SO I CAN FIX MY PC..
i tried the CHKDSK /R guys
also the FIXBOOT
still the same guys !!!

Hey
Can some help me? I am having the same problem as jin29_neci! I am also using AVG and have followed the above advise. I downloaded "The Cleaner" and it didn't work. I have tried several other programs to get rid of this. WHen I did the AVG scan, it said the trojan horse.8.AP is located C:\Documents and settings\Brian.BRIAN-OIVE...

I set my search engine on google, but every time I go online some other home page pops up. I change it under tools-internet options. It doesn't work it ALWAYS changes itself back to some msn search engine. Is this part on the trojan virus?

PLEASE HELP ME, I DON'TKNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. I AM SOOOOOOOO ANGRY. I CAN'T GET THIS OFF!!!!

Hi,

After Downloading The Cleaner have you updated it ?..................update it and then scan with it.

have you tried the online scan at http://housecall.trendmicro.com.

if AVG finds it whats the problem ..........is it not able to remove it gives you error message file in use ? ................if so try scanning in safe mode.


If still the sucker refuses to go Download HijackThis 1.98.2 .............Extract the Files into some permenant folder ...................scan and post a log here ................Do not delete anything yourself until you know what you are doing.

--Good Luck--

I just got a post from swordfish_13. Thank you I am trying your advice.

How can I tell if the virus is gone, off my computer? All the virus scans performed now come back clean, but I still am getting redirected to a msn homepage. I went back into internet options to change it. I didn't work. I guess is I still have a virus if it's still redirecting.

ANYONE?

I tried everything everyone has suggested including those of swordfish_13 and I am not sure which did it but it looks like its gone. All my scans come back clean and I am not being redirected to a msn home page after I changed my setting under internet options.

Thank you

Strange that it didn't work for the first guy but worked this time.....perhaps in the time between the two infections AV companies updated to deal with it better? And it sounds like there was not only the trojan but some other spyware and crap. Like a browser hijacker.... Perhaps just to make sure you've gotten rid of *everything* you may want to run Adaware or Spybot S&D just to clear out the "small stuff". Perhaps run both....but many people consider it overkill to run both. (I run both)

Spybot S&D
Adaware

Thanks

I have run everything and cleared everything. Everything came back clean. I am still not having any problems with redirecting on my home page. I have learned my lesson.

Thanks again!
