HELP!!! Trojan alert

[Basileos Leandros I]

This thing kinda shocked me, since it's definitely a totally unpleasant surprise.
I barely started Windows, and in about 1 minute, my NOD32 pops in, saying it found a trojan:

Win32/TrojanDropper.Agent.NDN Trojan

5 files have been deleted by me. It says this occured while accessing: WINDOWS/Explorer.exe(1) and YahooMessenger.exe(4).

Now, the thing which shocked me, was when I found 5 minutes later that one of my friends got his mobo fried because of another trojan.

NDM.Trojanb

Now, what action should I take? How dangerous are these trojans?

*later*
I received another 4 messages, and "Insert XP Professional Disc" - something to recognise some files.

Yelp!! Help pleasE?

Try doing a search on the web for more info on the specific Trojan you've identified. There will be advice on how lethal it is, how to get rid of it and how to prevent similar attacks. But as usual be wary when downloading anything even from a site claiming to offer anti virus programmes. Try to use legit sites.
Btw not all trojans are motherboard busters, some simply install browser trackers and other spyware. But you don't really want those on your system either. I've had many Trojans attempt to instal programmes or succesfully instal themselves....but have successfully removed all to date.
A cold re-boot followed by lots of different anti spyware tests usually reveals the culprit.

Try http://www.pctools.com/spyware-docto...=google_trojan.

Do you have McAfee or Norton, or anything? Also, a System Restore could probably help - bring back your deleted files and take away the trojan.

[Shaun]

Do a HighKackThis scan, and post the log file here. DO NOT DO A SYSTEM RESTORE! Run Hijackthis, post the log file here (and prefereably some tech/anti virus forum), then read that log file, read it again, make sure you know what everything is, google ANYTHING that you dont recognise! Also, some malware will use trick names, such as schost, scvhost etc, they look liek they say svchost which is prefectly legit and on all computers. double check that all the important system tasks are spelt right, this is a common way of decieving the user into clicking them or ignoring them.

[removeduser_426582376423734]

Why not do a system restore? It worked for me when I got a crazy virus.

[Armfelt]

Yea, I deleted a trojan yesterday with system restore.

[Shaun]

Often a system restore does more long term damage than good. You are far better off just deleting the malware outright.

What would this be?

[Basileos Leandros I]

I downloaded HijackThis and I'm doing a system scan now, with SpyBot. After, I'm gonna do with Spyware Doctor. Then, going with HijackThis and I'll see what's wrong.

Here are my security settings:

NOD32 + Zone Alarm Firewall(set on maximum security settings) + Ad Aware + SpyBot + Windows Updates.

I update almost every component daily, and everything is on maximum. I can't believe this. And ironically, I wanted to set my proxies too that day.

[Basileos Leandros I]

Rip off this Spyware Doctor. Found 33 problems(weird, Ad Aware and SpyBot won't find them...) but it won't remove them. I have to register. Stupid!!!

Now, doing an Ad Aware, then HijackThis.

[removeduser_426582376423734]

Have you tried ewido spyware? It works well for me.

[Basileos Leandros I]

Noup. Never heard of it. Will give it a try.

Nothing suspect to me. :hmmm:

[removeduser_426582376423734]

About ewido : I just found 167 infected files, and more on the way, and I scanned a few weeks ago. It finds the most minor things, trust me, it'll help.

[Basileos Leandros I]

Ewido 4.0 is now AVG Anti Spyware 7.5. Downloading now...Let's hope it works.

[Shaun]

Right then, have you had a good look through all of them? If you dont recognise them, google them.

[Basileos Leandros I]

I used the AVG Anti Spyware, found Adware of medium risk. Removed it, and so far, my system is (theoretically), back to normal.
