    seeyoulater,
     
    Linda, one of the HJT experts, has a link with self-help guides that might help, just depends on what you have.
    I would follow her suggestions.
     
     
    Good luck,
    Penny

    Penny thank you for that link but i do not think it relates to the virus i got
    i think the virus might have came from java though
     
    um since im new to these forums.... is it against the rules to post the virus name ?
    (dumb question i know)

    the virus names were
    java_bytever.a                                  
    java_bytever.ab
    java_bytever.ab
    java_bytever.ac
    troj_nascene.y
    expl._wmf.gen   (this 1 was failed to clean and delete) (i couldnt find this on the quartine list to)
     
    so i pretty much think it has something to do with java

    No not to my knowledge. Please as much information you can supply to these experts, the better than can serve you.

    Your scan showed viruses in your Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) cache. Delete those by clearing the JRE cache.
    To clear the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) cache:
    • Click Start > Control Panel.
    • Double-click the Java icon in the control panel.
    • -The Java Control Panel appears.
    • Click Settings under Temporary Internet Files.
    • -The Temporary Files Settings dialog box appears.

      -There are three options on this window to clear the cache.
      • Delete Files
      • View Applications

    • Click OK on Delete Temporary Files window.
    • -Note: This deletes all the Downloaded Applications and Applets from the cache.
    • Click OK on Temporary Files Settings window.
    • Close the Java Control Panel

    If you are using Windows XP or 2K, for the other trojan, download AVG Anti-Spyware from HERE and save that file to your desktop.
    This is a 30 day trial of the program

    1. Once you have downloaded Ewido anti-spyware, locate the icon on the desktop and double-click it to launch the set up program.
    2. Select "Change state" to inactivate 'Resident Shield' and 'Automatic Updates'. Right click on ewido in the system tray and uncheck "Start with Windows".
    3. >
    4. Go to Start > Run and type: services.msc
    5. Press "OK".
    6. In Services, click the "Extended tab" and scroll down the list to find AVG Anti-Spyware guard.
    7. When you find the guard service, double-click on it.
    8. In the Properties Window > General Tab that opens, click the "Stop" button.
    9. From the drop-down menu next to "Startup Type", click on "Manual".
    10. Now click "Apply", then "OK" and close the Services window
    11. Once the setup is complete you will need run ewido and update the definition files.
    12. On the main screen select the icon "Update". Tthen select the "Update now" link.
      • Next select the "Start Update" button, the update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.
      • If you are having problems with the updater, manually update with the AVG AS Full database installer from here.
      • Once the update has completed select the "Scanner" icon at the top of the screen, then select the "Settings" tab.
      • Once in the Settings screen click on "Recommended actions" and then select "Quarantine".
      • Under "Reports"
        • Select "Automatically generate report after every scan"
        • Un-Select "Only if threats were found"
        • Close AVG AS. Do Not run a scan just yet.

          1. Reboot your computer into SafeMode. You can do this by restarting your computer and continually tapping the F8 key until a menu appears. Use your up arrow key to highlight SafeMode then hit enter.
          2. IMPORTANT: Do not open any other windows or programs while AVG AS is scanning, it may interfere with the scanning proccess:
          3. Launch AVG anti-Spyware by double-clicking the icon on your desktop.
          4. Select the "Scanner" icon at the top and then the "Scan" tab then click on "Complete System Scan".
          5. ewido will now begin the scanning process, be patient this may take a little time.
          6. Once the scan is complete do the following:
          7. If you have any infections you will prompted, then select "Apply all actions"
          8. IMPORTANT! Don't save the report before you have clicked the Apply all actions button. If you do it will make it more difficult for the helper to interpret the report.
          9. Next select the "Reports" icon at the top.
          10. Select the "Save report as" button in the lower left hand of the screen and save it to a text file on your system (make sure to remember where you saved that file, this is important).
          11. Close AVG AS and reboot your system back into Normal Mode. If that did not clean the trojan, please post a HijackThis log in the HijackThis forum. Also, please post the results of the AVG AS report scan.
