How do you remove the Startpage Trojan horse virus from C Windows System32 Notepad exe?

Answer 1

check out symantec for info on the virus and how to get rid of it: securityresponse

First thing to do is change the file type for the text documents. -Menu tools, Folder options, file types. -Edit the txt file type and make sure it reads c:\windows\notepad.exe

Then fix your short cuts and delete the notepad.exe found at c:\windows\system32

Just overwrite a clean file to it.

All Trojan horses are hidden files so you would need to go to the Files Option (click the View tab)at Control Panel and uncheck both the *Hide file extension for known file types & *Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)-boxes, then OK yourself out. You will then need to restart your computer and and go into Safe Mode by holding the F8 key down -(kind of at the beginning of bootup). When you're at the DeskTop screen go to Start/ Search/ For Files and Folders and type up the NAME OF THE FILE & EXT i.e. - Notepad.exe, you can delete this file from here.

I have had 4 Trojan horses on my C drive and kinda figured out the above method a week ago. I deleted the Temp file from the Restore folder after unchecking the hidden files boxes, then went to SafeMode to delete what virus files that were still there. My computer is now absolutely FREE of these pests!

ULTIMATE AND SIMPLE SOLUTION TO REMOVING THE Win32: StartPage -076..Trojan

I read most of the answers here, but not one helped..

It cost me 8 hours but now I have made it, yeah, thank the Slovene hoby computer users,

Here is what I made....

1.) emptied the recycle bin 2.) I downloaded the cwshredder and ran it (the new version-the file was: CWSIntsall). I chose the "fix" button, BUT chose also that the cwshredder should not delete infected files but send them to recycle bin (right at the beginning). After the process finished, I looked onto the recycle bin. And what did I find there - a file called pjpg.dll. So this was the cause/application, which ran the Trojan virus every ime I opened expolrer etc. 3) I copied the pjpg.dll file to desktop, renamed it and sent it back to recycle bin. 4) Again, I have emptied the recycle bin. 5.) Reseted computer and the prbolem did not reaper. 6.) I know, I am GOD...
