Hi ritaann. Welcome to Wilders. Here is some info from Symantec on this trojan, http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/backdoor.cabro.html I don't know why your Norton's didn't pick it up but if u would like to try some free online scans, check out these links, http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ http://www.wilders.org/free_services.htm Post back and let us know the results. snowbound
backdoor cabro hi everyone yesterday i posted a message wanting to know if anyone knew how to get rid of the trogan backdoor cabro and i had an answer from snowbound and if your reading this i tried all the scans and they didnt detect it--do you have any idea of what i could do? thanks so much
Hi again ritaann. I merged your new post over here as it is a follow up to this topic. Just a couple of questions. What is the name of this trial scanner that picks up the virus? Sounds a little iffy that this app. is the only one that found the virus and then wants u to pay for it for cleaning. It also would be helpful to know what file it was found in, and it's properties. Thanks. snowbound
hi snowbound the name of the scanner that picks this up is No Adware.All it says about it is:backdoor.cabro HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\Reg Value i wish i could get this thing deleted--its driving me crazy knowing its there although if its causing any problems i cant tell.do you have any suggestions for me--thanks so much
Hi ritaann, NoAdware seems like a questionable program. http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm
Great link Mr. Hrmm. To put it lightly, NoAdware is garbage. False positives just to get u to buy. I wouldn't give it any credit ritaann. snowbound
