bump for later read.
fyi
Well, since my Firefox blocks popups, I guess I am okay.
Run Firefox or Mozilla on WIN 95 or 98, and you are safe.
I have had success with these two programs. Its worked like a champ.
This is pretty easy to rid yourself of:
Download both of these:
http://www.downloads.subratam.org/DllCompare.exe
&
http://www.downloads.subratam.org/KillBox.exe
Killbox I have just updated to ver 2.0.0.76 which will work in removing the files, so make sure you have this version.
Run Dllcompare, by clicking the "Run Locate.com" then click Compare
button... when done post the log..do not reboot becuase all the filenames
will change otherwise. Have killbox ready, you'll have a few files to delete
in a certain way.
Open Killbox, click the option Replace on Reboot & click the box Use Dummy
You'll see the path to the filename appear in the bottom box.
copy & paste 1 at a time into the top box
Click the red X, Say yes to the message box that comes up, then say No to
the next box asking you to reboot.
This is important becuase if you reboot before you are finished entering all
the files, you will have to start over again.
Do the same for this entire list
when these are all done, also add(just in case)
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\guard.tmp
Ok so a recap of this
1.)Copy a path & file (whole line) from the list here, and paste it to the first line(of killbox)
2.)Check the box 'Use Dummy' & click the Red X (for
each File you enter, as it autoclears)
3.)Say "Yes" to first message, and "No" to reboot now(next message)
4.)Repeat for the entire list, and lastly enter
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\guard.tmp as the last file
5.)Reboot, run the DllCompare again and post a new log.
Hopefully that will clear pretty much everything for files.
Tech Security Ping
Virus ping...
I've added the affected sites mentioned in the Symantec Alert to my Norton Personal Firewall Ad Blocklist and into the Restricted Sites Zone of Internet Explorer so they can't run code. This is really the best way to keep from getting a Trojan even if you do get an e-mail and click a link by mistake. And of course, do keep your virus scanner and Trojan scanner up to date.
Bump.

FYI
Viruses are haram.
