    Hi,

    I do have two weeks problems with troj_checkin.b.
    TrendMicro virus scanner detects thes troj and deletes it.
    Also I try to delete it manualy in the register. But it comes back again.
    I saw also that is makes ttps.exe and owmngr.exe active and try to contact serveral sites: popunder.info.... and fastfind.org
    Does anyone know to get them out of my register en system for good!!

    Hi rodo,

    Welcome at Wilders. :)

    See if you can get rid of it with these instructions: http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/checkin.shtml

    If that doesn't work, please go to http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/, and download 'Hijack This!'.
    Unzip, doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".

    When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button.
    Press that, save the log as a .txt file, and copy and paste its contents into your next post.

    Most of what it lists will be harmless, so do not fix anything yet.

    Regards,

    Pieter

    Hello rodo :).

    Have you checked out Trend's website and the info for manual removal?
    Troj_checkin.b also downloads the spyware detected as TROJ_ADWAREAPS.A. by Trend.

    Check it out here: http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/virusencyclo/default2.asp?m=q&virus=troj%5Fcheckin%2Eb%2E&alt=checkin%2Eb%2E

    Click on TROJ_CHECKIN.B, and it will take you to the page with instructions for manual removal.


    Regards, Jade.
    BTW, use Hijack This! like Pieter said after trying this and/or the f-secure link and post as stated previously.

    thanks Pieter,

    http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/checkin.shtml makes it clear to me.

    This TTPS.EXE file is re-created every time it is deleted by a user.After an investigation we found out that the file is being hiddenly downloaded and activated by the SBSRCH_V22.DLL file which is customized search plugin for Internet Explorer.

    Jade, sure I checked for checkin.b at trendmicro - and did what they told me to do, but it didn´t fix the re-creating problem.

    I hope its gone know.

    gr, Rodo

    Good job, rodo. :cool:

    Don't hesitate to post your log in case it has the nerve to show up again.

    Regards,

    Pieter

    Hi,

    TDS detects both variants of this, but we weren't sent a copy of the DLL, SBSRCH_V22.DLL

    If you have a copy of that, please do send it in to support@diamondcs.com.au , thanks :)
