    Hi,

    Okay, so nod32 has finally failed me. During a scan nod32 found this but didn't get rid of it.

    I turned off system restore in Vista and deleted the restore points except the most current' just like in XP.

    Using the scan and clean option all I get is a box when it finds the file and gives me the option to leave alone? I eventually used Kaspersky 6 in a semi- crippled state to get rid of it which it did.

    Has nod32 failed me or am I missing an option in nod32? Either way, if so then Kaspersky may get the money in November whne my license is up. No antivirus should require a PHD to get rid of a trojan.

    Am I missing an option? I have nod32 set up using Blackspears settings.

    It's not compatible with Vista yet. So of course you'll get infected by nasties.
    It's the same as if I used a W98 designed firewall on XP... No way it's gonna work prorperly....

    I'd say off hand you are giving them an excuse as Kaspersky manged to remove the infection.

    ~snip....removed un-necessary remark....Bubba~

    We can all say that it is the fault of Vista but XP and Vista do not differ all that much. Vista let me install the XP version with the comaptability engine turned off.

    Whether it be a virus or a trojan if it is coming in nod32 should identify it before it integrates with the OS or kernel.

    Let's give this another try.

    P.S. Your firewall analogy is flawed as there would be a different version for 98 then XP/2000/Vista.

    You just answered your own question. Just think AV instead of firewall.

    Hahahaha,

    No, Vista is still NT kernel based; like Windows 2000 and XP.

    Care to try again?

    You don't really need help, so why are you posting in a support forum?
    What's your point?

    Umm,

    I do. You have failed to answer the question; only gave your two cents and made excuses for ESET.

    Unless you work for ESET and have first hand knowledge of the coding and therefore know that this file being missed is somehow tied to Vista then don't answer at all.

    Is there an option in nod32 that I am missing and therefore the reason why it is only giving me the option to leave the file. This has occured once before as well..... in XP.

    Both Eset and Microsoft categorize NOD32 2.5 to be incompatible with Vista, so any protection you get with 2.5 should be considered a "bonus", not a requirement. Eset is working on a version 2.7 that will be officially compatible with Vista.

    In the meantime... my understanding is that the definition for this trojan was added in Update 1.1746, 2006-09-08. Try checking through your Threat Logs. Is there any mention of this file at all?

    If you have NOD32 setup as per the Tutorial, then there are no options that will ask you to do anything; NOD32 will simply deal with the file.

    Blackspear,

    I set it up exactly as per your instructions and used the commandline:

    /local /adware /ah /all /arch+ /clean /cleanmode /delete /heur+ /log+ /mailbox+ /ntfs+
    /pack+ /quarantine /scanboot+ /scanmbr+ /scanmem+ /scroll+ /sfx+ /unsafe /wrap+

    Thanks for your input

    Please post the log and I'll have a look. I'm wondering why the file wasn't dealt with in the first place, before it got to the point where a commandline scan was run.

    Blackspear,

    Wish I had it to give; but since I had to uninstall nod32 to install Kaspersky ot irradicate the trojan it is now gone.

    I am back to using nod32 again but I am at a loss as to how it got through.

    Thanks again,

    Kryspy

    Do you have any idea if the trojan was its own file, or was it found within some sort of archive file (.zip, .rar., .cab, ...)?

    Believe it was found within a file... I think it was ieWin.exe

    As you no longer have the logs, nor the file, and this is Vista (a BETA piece of software) that we are talking about, there really isn’t anything that can be reproduced in terms of seeing what exactly happened.

    Nothing more can be said on the subject as anything further is pure speculation and as such we'll draw this thread to a close.

    To my best knowledge, trojan clickers basicly open certain websites continually to increase the number of hits.
