    Hey there,

    Need to pick some brains regarding a problem I'm having. Every few minutes, NOD32 flashes up a warning message in the corner, stating it's blocked an address.

    Url: "mmslive.info/task.php?id=RSA0D583A8B228B30FE..."
    IP Address: "91.213.174.117:80"

    I performed a scan, found a couple of infected files, one listing the above address inside it. I used NOD32 to delete the files, performed another scan, which threw up nothing. However, I'm still getting the warning message every few minutes, even though NOD tells me my computer is clean. Also, the address block isn't logged by NOD, as when I checked the logs, they were empty. I've googled the address and found a trojan (http://www.sophos.com/security/analyses/viruses-and-spyware/trojagentnqs.html) which has the address listed as one it will connect to, but none of the files that are listed as the potential trojan are found on my computer, nor can I find any programmes running in the background that are unusual. Any suggestions? I'm stumped. :doubt:

    Hi, I have exactly the same problem. Also, my web browsing has become excruciatingly slow whenever I'm on a site that requires login, such as email, banking, etc. Especially the latter makes me worried that this virus is trying to collect passwords and relay it via http. Any advice will be appreciated.

    Please create a log from SysInspector, upload it to a file sharing service or ftp and PM me the link.

    I've solved it - NOD updated today and I ran another scan - that picked up a file in my "startup" folder and deleted it - no further problems. :)

    Create a log from SysInspector which will help you or ESET personnel identify the suspicious file. If you subsequenly submit the file to ESET per the instructions here detection will be added.

    can you access any other AV site? If not there might be malware on the machine blocking it. Follow steps listed
