BraveSentry

Hi Guys,

Any advise, I'm trying to help a newbie friend remove "BraveSentry" trojan. This rat was born March 8, 2006. So far it has escaped EWIDO on line scan. Also "System Restore" fails, perhaps rat technology knocks out system restore.

Thanks

Hi Rico

I agree with TonyKlein's views

Disregard that link I gave you as it just led to a site to download a trial software program (NoAdware)

 

Not only that, chances are you are infected with more than "just" BraveSentry.

Helpers at the forums I listed will help you clean ALL malware from your computer.

 

Messrs. Klein, Tex,

Many Thanks! I've emailed my friend the url to these posts.

Take Care

Hi

Thanks PrevxCares, information passed to the poor soul with the RAT.

Hello PrevxCares.

My friend reported that Prevx fails to remove "BraveSentry." One component of the trojan was jailed, but upon reboot the rat is back!. Should you have any furter suggestions regarding Prevx or manual removal, I'll gladly pass the along to the infected.

Take Care

As I said before:

BraveSentry is a pretty common parasite, and it is routinely being removed from infectees' computers at the boards I mentioned. However, you DO need a human being to assess your particular configuration through analysis of a Hijack This log run on the infected machine.

Also there will very likely be more than just BraveSentry that will need to be dealt with...

I hope your problems with BraveSentry are sorted.

If not, Prevx1 latest version includes a powerful new clean up which should now fix your friend's problems with this.
