Neurotic.12 a???

GAV found Backdoor.Neurotic.12 a, and TrojanDropper.Win32.Joiner...

I have McAfee, TrojanHunter and ZoneAlarm. I just reinstalled my computer and b4 I even hit the internet I had McAfee on, then trojanhunter then zone alarm, why, how, what the...

I used TrendMicro the last time I was online (two days ago)! The only thing I d'led today was bitdefender for yahoo and msn.

Any thoughts?

 

Check for these files in windows directory ( Neurotic.12 a will added them) c:\inputput.txt c:\WINDOWS\winsystem.sys ,c:\WINDOWS\winsystem.ini !

Probably a false positive!

i don't know where to find it... but the location that GAV says it's in is Computer Cop with is bundled with my Windows Restoration cd's. And the trojandropper is in network assoc.\virusscanengine.

i've been up since 5, i'll deal with this tomorrow. I had gav set to delete the virus... i'm not sure what it did though and no one is on or awake over on that forum.
i can't keep my eyes open anymore.
i'll check back tomorrow.
g'nite.

 

U shouldn't delete that file it’s a false positive from GAV! GAV is in Alpha stage and you should be very carefully with it!

well, since nothing has happened, i'm assuming these are false. My pc is still running nicely, so i'd rather not do anything to alter this!

thnx!

 

I take it ZoneAlarm has not prompted on anything trying to connect out?

oh, that i don't know... i use free za, and my alerts are turned off.

i'm going to post at gav's forum... he's been pretty good w/helping me.

 

Backdoor.Neurotic.12 backdoor is able to disable ZA! So ZA would be useless in this case!

You are not infected it’s a false positive!

How or what do I type to get into the registry or is it the windows directory I have to go into to completely remove Norton?
I thought I had it all taken care of, but I guess not. Since removing Norton and installing McAfee, I get OE errors when my system boots up and on occasion @ reboot/restart.


And thanx again Gladiator for the fixes!!!

 

Go to START------>RUN, Then type REGEDIT! Highlight My computer and from EDIT click FIND-----> type Norton and after that Type Symantec!

If you got any other Products from Symatec don't do it! Unless you know what to do....

Also under Programs (C:\Program Files) delete any remain Symantec or Norton AntiVirus Directory! Look for Common Files and Symantec Shared files!

Thank you much Technodrome!!!

 

For removing NAV you could check out the following link and RNAV.exe as a first step if you are not comfortable jumping into the registry right away.

oh, it's done... i'm not worried about it. I've had to re-write my hard drive so much I can do it in my sleep!
But thanks for the suggestion!
