I have discovered a Win32:Agent trojan resident in a file on my C: drive. It is located in my Thunderbird email files section.
Try as I may, I cannot seem to delete this. It appears to be growing in size. I have read a lot about this one and they refer to it as a "sleeper" trojan.
How can I remove this trojan?
I run Firefox, Thunderbird as email client, XP Pro, Avast & AVG 7.5 Internet Security System, Zone Alarm Pro, along with Spy Bot S&D and Spyware Blaster.
Can anyone help with this?
Thanks
They'll ask you to read The forum FAQ first before posting.
They've helped me before.
Thanks, this sounds familiar, I’ll check it out. This is a particularly frustrating one to remove. It seems to mutate quickly.
Had the same problem.
Just one word, and go there, AVAST.COM
AVG Should get rid of that. Are your antivirus definitions up to date?
AVAST shows it on a scan, but it isn't effective in removing it. Thats the frustration. It started as a small file section on my C drive and has been growing larger. I need to stop its growth and remove this thing.
Thanks for all of your help. Everything says that these helps have taken care of this trojan. I hope its been cleared. Thanks Folks.
