Title: I have a Trojan and I can't get rid of it
Post by: shock on Tuesday, December 19, 2006, 09:55:39 AM

WIN32.BACKDOOR.CIADOOR

Basically, it messes with Norton Antivirus and randomly opens things at startup.  Additionally, it disables my task manager and my ability to edit the register. I was also reading that it looks for personal info.

I have tried getting rid of it with the following programs: Adaware, AVG, and Norton. Each time it comes back when I restart.

I am scared that my personal info is going to be taken.  I have passwords saved on Firefox to my amazon.com account.  I changed that password.  My favorites also has a link to my bank, though you can't save the password to that (thank god).

On another rant, why can't Microsoft do something about this?  This was created in 2003.  I am switching to Linux again when I go back home for Christmas.

Disable system restore. Boot to safe mode.

Run Norton antivirus.

Jubilation.

You can find something funny everywhere right?

Run Microsoft's malicious software removal tool, then do an online scan from Trend Micro.

Gah, and I thought this is going to be about a condom...

If it makes you feel any better cools, I frequently have that problem with condoms.

I too thought this thread was about a dry spell initially.

Same here.  Then I was going to make a joke and decided against it.
