When I scan my PC using F-Secure, I find no virus, but when I use the online

Norton anti-Virus, I find following infected files.

 

our computer is infected with at least one known virus or Trojan horse.

 

Search for the name of the threat(s) listed below on the Symantec Security

Response site for removal information

 

C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\UERSR_0001_N91M2407NetInstaller.ex... is

infected with WinFixer

C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\UERS_0001_N68M1801NetInstaller.exe is

infected with ErrorSafe

C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\CONFLICT.1\UERSR_0001_N91M2407NetI... is

infected with WinFixer

C:\backup_carman\Radmin\r_server.exe is infected with Remacc.Radmin

The machine is infected.

Run a /thorough/ check for hijackware, including posting your hijackthis log

to an appropriate forum.

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2

(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe) is the preferred tool to use.

It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware with

assistance from an expert. Post your log to

http://castlecops.com/forum67.html,

http://forums.subratam.org/index.php?showforum=7,

http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30, or other appropriate forums for review

by an expert in such matters, not here.

 

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this

isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and

independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.

I'm not a big fan of online scanning tools in general but this could be for

a couple of reasons:

 

1. Those files are connected with non-viral malware so it isn't surprising

that an antivirus program doesn't flag them. Perhaps F-Secure doesn't look

for non-viral malware.

 

2. It could be a false-positive.

 

I would certainly go through other malware scanning per the information

here:

It is not a virus to be exact it is a malware - a trojan that system has

been visiting site that prompts a preload of those rouge security

applications. Its just trying to go in your system.

 

Those that are in downloaded directory it means your system had made an

acquaintance with those file already someone or somehow they agreed to it

previously.

 

If you are using Internet Explorer 7 reset it on

on the internet option>Advance tab>reset it just to dump all possible

attached ( unauthorized apps ), you can just reinstall those that you use ex

for office or for your gaming. It's much safer than take chances.

Milo, these are symptoms of a ZLOB infection, which is usually accompanied

by Vundo and SDBot, all of which are being protected by a rootkit. No

anti-virus or anti-spyware applications or online scans will detect and

remove all of it.
