Totally off-top Tojan horse prob

[european]

Hello again richie rich. Did you visit a song lyric site?

These two are related trojans, part of Trojan.Digits. Loader.exe is a spyware program, hijacking CoolWebSearch. Its a pretty new trojan.

Download and run CWShredder to remove it.

If that doesn't work, come back to me. Also, as Lizard says, search for and delete loader.exe.

Sorry, also should have said empty your internet cache.

Always the way

Its obviously been altered since that article I'd expect

As I've said before try running CW Shredder in the Miscellany Section under lizards locker as European suggests

If that doesn't eradicate it then I'd suggest running
Hijack This from and post the log at the same forum for the experts to peruse

Good luck

Of course if you already have ignore me...lol

The amazing thing about bgafd.

You get advice from both hemispheres.

Deuce Bigolo = B*****E in Oz.

European = W*****S just back from Oz.

Hope my suggestion worked.

Hi European, I did what Lizard suggested, but the task manager didn't show it, I downloaded the CWShredder to remove it but that didn't find or destroy them.

It says on my system under the item information that The compressed file loader.exe within:
C:\Documents and Settings\my name\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\EL8NE9Y1\loader(1).cab is infected with the Downloader.Trojan virus

hope this is of some help

You should now just be able to delete the offending file. First try and di it through the browser (Tools, Internet Options, Delete Files) and if that doesn't move it, try through Windows Explorer.

Well thanks very much European, I did as you said and my computer is now virus free, well done!!

While the subject is open perhaps someone can help me. Cant identify a virus or anything but the search facility on windows xp seems to be disabled Internet Explorer wont open a second page and system is generally running soooo slow...any ideas anyone? would be much apreciated!!

[Deuce Bigolo]

Could be anything Mate as I'm not running XP.....

Try running all the spyware programs in Miscellany under Lizards Locker for starters...if you have and still no luck I'd try



Identifies a bucketload of security problems in Windows
as XP is the latest it might be of use as its the one that has the most vulnerabilities as its the most under attack by hackers or
