How do you get rid of the Trojan horse virus downloader realtens B?

Answer 1

I have Windows 98. Took me all night. What didn't work: AVG, Panda Activescan, Spybot S&D 1.3 - all excellent programs but not for this problem.

What did work: - search (or find) dw*.exe on your hard drive. No good program begins with DW. write down the file paths. - Add the following to your autoexec.bat file: @ECHO OFF IF EXIST C:\WINDOWS\SMARTDRV.EXE C:\WINDOWS\SMARTDRV.EXE 2048 16 IF EXIST C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\*.* DELTREE /Y C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\*.* > NUL IF EXIST C:\WINDOWS\COOKIES\*.* DELTREE /Y C:\WINDOWS\COOKIES\*.* > NUL IF EXIST C:\WINDOWS\RECENT\*.* DELTREE /Y C:\WINDOWS\RECENT\*.* > NUL IF EXIST C:\WINDOWS\HISTORY\*.* DELTREE /Y C:\WINDOWS\HISTORY\*.* > NUL IF EXIST C:\WINDOWS\TEMPOR~1\*.* DELTREE /Y C:\WINDOWS\TEMPOR~1\*.* > NUL

- Boot to dos mode. Delete the files manually. You cannot delete the file if it is in your temporary internet files. The above lines added to your autoexec.bat file will take care of it for you. - reboot. search for dw*.exe - you should not find any.
