BackDoor.optix.BL

I have question avg found a virus on my system called BackDoor.optix.BL when it deleted it I keep getting a error on my system evertime I start up saying c:\windows\servet32.exe will not load. I can not pull up task manager or half the other programs I get. I can not restore to an earlier date. is there anything I can do without having to reload the system ?

 

Hi Walnut, welcome; What did TDS find for you in the meantime?

If the nasty is still on your system please submit to submit@diamondcs.com.au to make sure it was really what AVG said it is.

Maybe you can try to run the spybotS&D with the registry repairs

or first the hijackthis from this link and we might be able to see first if there is anything in the autostart what needs correction.

 

Sounds like a "leftover" was found and removed, this causes a problem if the trojan attacker used a special registry startup. Just run this to fix it

I'd recommend sending me an ASViewer log with all startups shown - press F2 F3 and F4 keys once each before saving, then email to Support

What kind of registry cleanser is that Gavin? Especially for this case or is it for more occasions? (always good to know so we might be able to help more users with that)

 

This just resets the associations for .EXE .COM .BAT etc since SubSeven 2.2, Optix Pro and a few others replace

* %1

with

* %1 trojan.exe

so that both the EXE you clicked, AND trojan.exe run every time you run the EXE (or COM, BAT, etc)

 

Thanks to let us know Gavin, so a new one for our first aid tool kit.
