Guest village idiot Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Vista 64 IE 7 I just ran ad-aware, and Win32.TrojanPWS.Mapper has showed up AGAIN. The TAI rating for this is 10. It is located in C:\BigFishGamesCache\Hidden Expedition - Titanic\kbqqcs.exe Before I remove it, I would like to know if I should remove/uninstall the Big Fish Game, Hidden Expedition - Titanic. Also, are there any other files associated with it that I should remove. I removed this once before, on Jan. 2nd, using ad-aware and this is the first time it has showed up again. I have not played the game since then, but have played and installed other big fish games. Also, I did not originally download Hidden Expedition Titanic from the big fish site. But. I did buy the full version from big fish and I am guessing that they just "updated" the first install.....?????????? Help asap, please. Much thanks to all of you wonderful microsoft people. village idiot Quote
Guest village idiot Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 I forgot...... of course. If I close my laptop, can a virus keep doing its thing? I'm trusting my gut feeling that nothing goes on with the laptop closed.... fingers crossed. Also, if my laptop is closed, but not turned off, can virus scans, and tune ups still run... with it closed. Oh boy, I know this is a stupid question for you guys, but I cannot find an answer for this anywhere. Thanks.

Guest village idiot Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Hi David......... Can you please tell me exactly what I should type into the Virus Total box? To make sure that I am on the right page.... it has analysis underlined with blue, and the box "upload a file" is open, with browse next to the box. 'The first time, I typed in the whole location "c:\BigFishGamesCache\Hidden Expedition - Titanic\vkbqqcs.exe" without the quotes The response was immediate, on a blank page - 0 bytes size received Next, I typed in "vkbqqcs.exe" (again without the quotes) It showed that it was scanning. It 'scanned' for 12 minutes before I finally closed the window. Please advise. Thanks "David H.

Click on the "Browse" button and your folder tree will open. Use the folder tree to navigate to where this file is and then click on the file. The path will then appear in the box and you won't have to type anything. just click to upload the file. Quote
