Backdoor.Trojan

My Norton Anti-Virus (2003) keeps giving me a virus alert about a file called C:/Windows/System32/msoj.dll every two seconds. It says it is a Backdoor.Trojan. I followed everything that symnatec told me to do but it is still there. I have Windows XP home edition and any information would be appreciated to get rid of this. I've tried Ad-Aware, Norton 2003, Bazooka, Trojan Hunter, and a squared. Nothing seems to work.

 

Same problem differrent user. Can anybody help?

 

I saw on another message where they suggested trying the prorgam at the following link http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/virusencyclo/default5.asp?VName=TROJ_AGENT.AC. I was having a similar problem and when I tried to run this program the virus shut it down. Went to safe mode and ran the program and it found and fixed the problem so far. You might want to give it a try.

 

i have a freind that has the same problem as the rest but ti is located here C:\Program Files\WebRebates. Can u help him get rid of it? he has deleted the file several times but ti keeps coming back. He is running xp.

 

Hi

try taking a look at my thread of the same title which I posted recently - the .dll file was of different name to yours, but problem is the same. Expert advice from the forum seems to have cured my problem - so go through the same steps.
Good luck

A few days back my norton detected the same Backdoor.Trojan but it infected the svchost.exe file in Windows....at first it said unable to repair or delete file..after a norton update...it detected the file and deleted it. Everything was fine no more viruses...untill today i switched to Avast and found the win32:trojan-gen in many other folders...should this be of any concern to me. I've run Avast again now it says no viruses found.

 

Hi The_Count, and welcome to Wilders.

Where did Avast say the infected file was located?

You can also try an on-line scan as a double-check: Free Services Be sure and disable your anti-virus before you do the on-line scans so it doesn't interfere.

Avast didnt find the Backdoor.Trojan virus infecting the svchost.exe file (c:\windows\svchost.exe) Norton did. Avast found the win32:trojan-gen infecting in other files but like i said norton did a update and solved the problem without any hassel. Now Avast deleted the trojan-gen viruses too my pc is alright now. But the thing was both my home and office pc were infected by the same virus. Backdoor.trojan.

 

yeah me too..
i got this backdoor.trojan & i can get it out of my pc.
i already try many way to kick it from my pc but it's still inside..
i already kick & delete that virus, but not long it come back again..
oh what must i do now..
i use norton antivirus.
norton only can detect & stop the action but can't kick it from my pc forever..
so every time it show a box "found virus name : backdoor.trojan"
this is really bad virus..

 

This is a trojan, not a virus.
