How do you remove a Trojan horse called downloader.lookme.A when AVG can't remove it?
I had this same problem with a computer at work. AVG 7.0 wouldn't heal the infected files automatically or move them to the Virus Vault. I moved the infected files into the Virus Vault myself. You can do this in AVG. Once in the Vault, you can delete them. Don't delete if they are critical or actual system files. The infected files were simply temporary Internet files, but because they were in Windows\Temporary Internet Files\IE content (Windows98), they read as system files and AVG wouldn't touch them. I ran another couple of scans after doing this and the machine was clear. Hope this helps.

How can you remove Adware-abetterintrnt in C:System Volume Information restore?
This program exists as a Browser Helper Object, which integrates into Internet Explorer. Upon installation, the application registers itself in the system registry. Many registry entries are created (note, adware is notorious for varying CLSIDs and different versions of this application may use completely different registry settings): HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\BiDll.BiDllObj.1 HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\ {000006B1-19B5-414A-849F-2A3C64AE6939} HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Interface\ {4534CD6B-59D6-43FD-864B-06A0D843444A} HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\ {690BCCB4-6B83-4203-AE77-038C116594EC} HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VX2.VX2Obj HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\DBi Go to http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ for a free scan and removal. If this does not work, download and install Adaware SE Free Edition, found here http://www.download.com/3000-2144-10045910.html?part=69274&subj=dlpage&tag=button Download, install, update and run the program.
Browser Hijackers aren't technically viruses, they come under the malicious software or malware definition. Browser Hijackers can work in various ways, including having a background process running on your computer that constantly changes your home and search pages or the via the use of a browser helper object (BHO) in Internet Explorer. They are typically installed when visiting a bad website via Microsoft ActiveX technology or due to a dodgy piece of software with "bundled sponsor programs".
What does Trojan horse clicker 7 bb do?
A computer virus is a small program that infects a computer without the user permission. It attaches itself to other files and quickly multiplies.
It is strongly recommended that you use an antivirus program on your computer and that you keep it updated. This will prevent any infection and clean your computer if it was infected previous to the install.
You are infected with a virus if:
- Your computer is very slow, stops responding, restarts or shuts down by itself from time to time.
- Your hard disk or the removable drives (floppy drive, CD-ROM, USB Flash) are inaccesibles or the files are corrupt.
- Unusual error messages appear.
- Get an antivirus program (if you don't have one already)
- Update your antivirus
- Scan all your computer and delete, repair or quarantine the infected files.
- Have an antivirus program and update it from time to time (some even update automatically)
- Use a firewall.
- Only download files from sources you trust.
- Don't open e-mail attachments, unless you know who sent it.
- For more protection you can scan your computer with online scanners provided free by some of the best companies.

How do you get rid of a virus that has totally taken over your computer?
when ur computer boots up depending on OS type, hold f8 for win98 or f5 for xp, boot in safe mode and run a virus detection program that will automatically find and remove virus...that's bout the easiest way!have fun!
Unless it has really taken over your computer completely, and has wiped out your antivirus program. Then all you can do is take it to a computer repair store like Miracle Computers and have them either remove the virus/worm and repair your system, OR IF POSSIBLE, have them recover the data you want, wipe the hard drive clean, and reinstall the OS completely.

AnswerHi,AVG 7 detected "Trojan horse dialer.22.AQ" on my machine 3 hours ago, but couldn't heal it nor put it in the virus vault. I tried everything: Ad-Aware, Spybot S&D, Microsoft anti-spyware, AVG7, scanning in safe mode... nothing worked ! I even went back to an old restore point without succes.
I finaly got rid of it by scaning with HouseCall free anti-virus (http://housecall.antivirus.com/housecall/start_corp.asp)
While it was scaning, AVG resident shield poped-up and i was able to put the Trojan dialer in AVG's virus vault. So i think it's the combination of those two Anti-virus that enabled me to fix this problem.
Once it's in the vault, the dialer can no longer damage your system... you can safely leave it there and let AVG take care of it and delete it when it's old enough. If you wish to delete it from the vault before AVG does, you should at least wait a couple days to see if your system is runing properly.
Hope this help
Pat.
AnswerI had the same Trojan and I saw this post. It helped me alot, because I tryed everything to even going to the registry and delete it from there...nothing... Runing AVG and Housecall at the same time was an awesome idee, with the only littel trick let Housecall finish first...than go to AVG since AVG finds only 1 infection ..and houscall finds 2 the secound is the trigger of the Trojan if you don't delete the trigger ( exe) you will get the Trojan back everytime. Great helping advice to Pat and this site..thx alot for the idee and good job....How do you remove backdoor generic jcj when your avg virus vault tells you it can't be deleted?

Why does your air conditioner freeze up?
There are a couple of things that cause your AC to freeze up.
If your indoor coil is icing up you:
1. Have a dirty filter
2. Have a system low on refrigerant
3. You have a blower that is not providing enough air across the coil
4. You have set the thermostat too low (below 70 degrees Fahrenheit, setting the AC lower does NOT cool the room down faster)
Yes, viruses are real. There are two types of viruses; the type that affects organisms and the type that affects computers.
A virus is a small infectious agent that can replicate only inside the living cells of organisms. Most viruses are too small to be seen directly with a light microscope. Viruses infect all types of organisms, from animals and plants to bacteria and archaea. Since the initial discovery of tobacco mosaic virus by Martinus Beijerinck in 1898, about 5,000 viruses have been described in detail, although there are millions of different types. Viruses are found in almost every ecosystem on Earth and are the most abundant type of biological entity. The study of viruses is known as virology, a sub-specialty of microbiology.
A computer virus is a computer program that can copy itself and infect a computer. The term "virus" is also commonly but erroneously used to refer to other types of malware, including but not limited to adware and spyware programs that do not have the reproductive ability. A true virus can spread from one computer to another (in some form of executable code) when its host is taken to the target computer; for instance because a user sent it over a network or the Internet, or carried it on a removable medium such as a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB drive. Viruses can increase their chances of spreading to other computers by infecting files on a network file system or a file system that is accessed by another computer.
How can you verify if your PC is infection free?
Using a virus scanner alone does n't guarantee you as immune, because antivirus detects only the symptoms not the underlying causes. Apart from your anti-virus you need to monitor your system activities, especially when you are connected with internet. Try to monitor your network using netstat or other DNS tools, and identify what ports are open and what functions it is doing. The normal system should have 5 TCP connections and 10 UDP connections.
What damage does a Trojan horse do?
It depends...either they will most likey prevent pregnancy and STDs, you might be able to conquer an empire using one, or if your unlucky enough to get one on your computer your in for at least a couple days of cleaning, defraging, and pissing off anyone you (or the virus) sent email too while infected, or you might just find yourself buying a new computer. A updated anti-virus program will prevent you from ever meeting one.
How do people keep getting infected what the common cold virus?
because virus's are not living organisms so there is no logical way to 'kill' them, and a virus is constantly changing to there is no way to protect for all kinds of the 'common cold', its always different, YA BIG DUMMY!!!
Because...you ALL WILL DIE
LOL
