All Trojan horses are hidden files, in order to get at them you will need to go to Start /Control Panel /Folder Options (click the View tab)and uncheck both the *Hide file extension for known file types & *Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)-boxes, then OK yourself out. Then you will need to restart your computer and go into SafeMode by HOLDING the F8 key DOWN -(at bootup - after the first screen info - be quick!) and choose SafeMode. [You have to use your keyboard when you're in SafeMode - the keys to use are Ctrl/Alt/Delete (to exit the Help and Support screen) - Tab/Arrow keys/ Pageup/Pagedown/ the Window key(between Ctrl & Alt) & Enter] So, from the DeskTop screen press the Window key to get Start/ arrow up to Search/ arrow right to For Files or Folders and type up the NAME OF THE FILE & EXT (not for example horse.winshow.V) but the actual name of the file, which would have shown up on your anti-virus software. To delete this file from here just press Page Up to highlight the file and then delete. To get out of Search -Alt F/ arrow down to Close and press Enter. Press the Window key to shutdown and restart your computer.
It will be safe to empty your Recycle Bin in the Normal mode where you can use your mouse.
I have had 4 Trojan horses on my C drive and kinda figured out the above method a week ago. After unchecking the hidden files boxes I deleted the Temp file from the _Restore folder (as these keep putting the same files back into your system), then went to SafeMode to delete what virus files that were still there. My computer is now absolutely FREE of these pests!
hope this helps...Phyl
PS. I also have AVG 6.0 (the free one) & also the Ad-aware 6 and I use them every day as my kids love to play games from the Internet.
I did all the above except when I tried to delete it, it said file cannot be deleted, access denied, source may bein use.

Try the following programs-they will stop all unwanted stuff from getting on your PC-I went to www.webattack.com and found a way to remove it by doing the following-clicked on green link at the top of the page stating "FREEWARE",then clicked on virus tools/or you can search on that site for this program-"Avast home edition".It is the best freeware program,that i have ever used and removed the virus in no time.The Funweb A is a Trojan horse virus,and when Avast picked it up was goung under another name-i think that's why everybody have difficulty in removing it,and cant find anything under funwe A ,coz it is going under another name.Avast has also detected and removed 2 other virus infected files on my PC!It is important to do a live update of avast virus deff and to set program to run a full system scan.Do download the full free home adition and not just the computer cleaner.Its AMAZING and kicks budd! : )Thank you so much Avast!!!!Two programs going really well with Avast and also freeware on the same site is Ad-Aware spy detector and Zone Alarm firewall.I have all three and they work together like magic!: )GREAT STUFF!!!!Try it,you wont look back!

How do you get rid of Downloader Agent 9 BD if AVG detects it but cannot kill it?
HI. Yesterday I got this little goodie on my machine. I have the paid version of AVG. It said that it could not "heal" it. It resides in the virus vault now. Today, it happened again, in a different file. (The first one was in C:\WINDOWS\system 32\...file name "appox.dll" The second one was in C:\WINDOWS\d3ln32.exe.) Today it offered the option of "healing" it. I chose that and it reported that it had been successfully healed. Maybe the difference is where the Trojan is located, because when I went back to the virus vault and tried to heal the one there, I was told that it could not be healed!! Status is "infected" I hope that this helps. I would like to understand this Trojan better but can find very little information about it. AVG had nothing as did Norton. Next I will try Sophos or Microtrends. Will let you know if I find out anything at all. LUCK!!

Go to GriSoft and download their AVG anti-virus software. Be sure to get the free version. Run the program. It will automatically isolate & remove the Trojan horses PSW.Bispy.A and PSW.Bispy.B, as well as most other viruses and Trojan horses.
On Win 2000:
After AVG picked up the instances of BIspy.A and .B in my users /Local Settings/Temp folder, I deleted the 6 files associated (cab, ini, exe and some others that started with BI)then went into the registry (start > Run > Regedit), searched for "BI.dll" and deleted the registry entry for the program when i found the correct string.
If you are not keen on editing the registry yourself, get hold of Spybot - Search and Destroy
After I restarted the machine, and was able to delete the /winnt/BI.dll
im running AVG too, same problem with virus vault. To get rid of it (using winXP) this is what i did.
ran command prompt.
CD 'local settings'\temp
del bi*
seemed to work for me.
I too had the virus that my avg would not remove. what I did was move the infected file to the recycle bin and then ran the avg scan again. This time it healed it and put it into the vault. ..
I too had the PSW.Bispy.A and PSW.Bispy.B viruses on my C- Drive.
AVG anti-virus software detected and removed the bi.dll file but was not able to delete the virus contained in a file in the C:\_restore\temp folder. I am running Windows ME and I think the files in the folder cannot be accessed because they are used by the RESTORE function. To get around this, I downloaded a windows bootfile from www.bootfile.com, copied the files to a floppy and then booted from the floppy. At the A> prompt, I changed the drive and directory to C:\_restore\temp. Since I booted from the floppy, I was able to delete the infected file. I then rebooted from the hard drive and ran AVG anti-virus software again. This time it found the virus in another file in the same folder. I then rebooted from the floppy, erased the infected file and rebooted from the hard drive. AVG was rerun and the virus has been removed completely. It took two iterations to remove it completely.
Two online virus programs did not detect the virus before it was removed. AVG was the only one that did.
I have XP Home Edition and ran AVG. The program detected and removed the virus just easily.
Finally after a day of trying to clean it, I turned off my system restore, then rebottted ...ran AVG. it stuck them in virus vault and I was able to delete them...have scanned 3 times now and they are all gone...
this got rid of it for me.download WINPATROL and then run it it will come up with a screen pretty much straight away click on ie helpers tab and you will now see a file bi dll.delete file,it will say that it wont delete it but it will stop it running by doing this it enables avg or your own virus software to delete it cos its not running.run your virus software and it will heal it problem solved.
For those with PSW.Bispy.B or A or C AVG now has a small executable program on their homepage to deal with these and 60 others..simply boot up in safe mode(I'm running Windows ME) click on the downloaded file,and it removes all 3 files associated with the virus..reboot normal and Voila! Worked on my version A.
If you can move them to your recycle bin then delete them and your problem is solved.

To delete this file from here just press Page Up to highlight the file and then delete. To get out of Search -Alt F/ arrow down to Close and press Enter.

My computer is now absolutely FREE of these pests!
PS. I also have AVG 6.0 (the free one) & also the Ad-aware 6 and I use them every day as my kids love to play games from the Internet.
The AVG cannot get rid of it because it is locked into your system as a hidden file. The way to get at it is to unlock the file by going to Start/Settings/Control Panel/Folder Options/View tab and uncheck the Hide file types...etc. as I mentioned above. Then all you would need to do is to go to Search and delete it. If not in the Normal mode, then Search and delete it in SafeMode.
the problem with the virus in the restore folder is that AVG cant delete/modify files in there. you need to disable system restore. I also had this virus in a backup of my accounts. I tried running the removal tool from Grisoft but it didnt work. I disabled system restore, deleted the files associated with the virus then rebooted. I also searched the registry for any "bi" or"bispy" entries. there were none, so i guess im all good now. what ever you do just remember to disable system restore. if you don't you will continue to get the AVG extension message and if you ever need to restore to an earlier date you will reinfect your puter.
I have AVG and it could not take it off even though it was updated. I, however, did find an alternative given by grisoft/AVG at the following URL: grisoft.com
I would suggest following its instructions to the letter. If you do, you can then run AVG again and the Virus will have disappeared.

How can you get rid of Trojan horse psw agent h and Trojan win32 killreg d?
Good news : as of today, AVG can heal Trojan horse psw.agent.h !
I had the same Trojan on my computer, booting the OS in safe mode, and disabling system restore did not work for me. I also tried almost every Anti-Virus, Ad-ware, and Trojan software out there but nothing did it. The way to remove this PSW.Agent.H is simple, the only catch is there is a process running called sysupd.exe running which protects the Trojan source file in Documents and Settings (_UPDATE.DAT ) from being removed. So here is what you do.
Read all the steps below before you start.
1. Run a search on the computer for a file called sysupd.exe .
2. Open My Computer, and browse to the folder that contains the file.
3. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del, and click on Task Manager.
4. Look on the bottom of the Task Manager window to see how many process are running, ex (Process:15)
5. Find sysupd.exe and stop it. most likely it will keep starting it self over.
4. Keep looking for it and stopping it, until the number of process' go down by one. Once you reach this point you only have a few second until it restarts, so be quick.
5. Switch to the window where sysupd.exe is located and quickly remove it.
6. Once sysupd.exe have been removed, then you can remove the main file _UPDATE.DAT which will be found somewhere in Documents and Settings. (If you cannot find it run a search for it)
7. Run AVG antivirus again to make sure the Trojan is gone.
I do not use this web site at all, i only found it while I was searching on Google for what people are saying about this Trojan.
NOTE if you can't find the update.dat file after getting rid of the sysupd, its okay, just run your scan from AVG again. Its seems to be the virus software that finds this Agent H and only one that can heal it when you stop that sysupd process from running!
Edit
I had the same virus on my computer and couldn't get rid of it...finally today may 16th when i ran my avg....it healed it and now its gone. so try running avg again they may have figured it out or something. hope this works.
I had psw.agent.h & here's what I did:
I tried the above method but didn't get Task Manager when I used Ctrl-Alt-Del (I suppose it's because I'm not in Windows XP). Anyway, I couldn't get the sysupd.exe to shut off so I could delete it, because windows was currently using it. I restarted in MS-DOS mode (after looking up some commands online because I'm not too experienced with DOS) I went to the directory for windows & was able to delete sysupd.exe from dos, then restart in windows, delete _update.dat and ran AVG to make sure it was gone. So far it is gone (whoo hoo!) and I'm hoping this can help anyone who had similar trouble to mine. Feel free to email me any questions... :)
I tried the recommended ideas above and nothing worked. I would stop the program in tsk mgr and before i could delete it it would restart itself. but i finally found a way to get the program stopped so that avg could put the virus in the vault. i started my computer in safe mode and went in C:Windows and deleted the sysupd.exe because in safemode the program doesnt start up. then i re run avg in reg mode and it found the virus and removed it to the vault so i could delete it. thanks for your help.

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 which would have shown up on your Anti-Virus software, you can delete this file from here. Also, make sure to empty your Recycle Bin.

My computer is now absolutely FREE of these pests!
I fought this horse for a long time and here's what I finally did to get rid of it: 1. download the kill.exe utility
2. create the following bat file:
kill sysupd.exe
del /F c:\winnt\sysupd.exe
copy c:\winnt\notepad.exe c:\winnt\sysupd.exe
3. run this script from a command prompt over and over until the file sysupd is switched to notepad
4. now the damn horse is gone and you can successfully remove its data file (_update.dat) located somewhere under 'documents and settings'
Thanks to all for the invaluable information. These forums are my first stop when I need info.
I was also having trouble killing sysupd.exe with Task Manager and then deleting the file before it restarted. What worked for me was to start up a couple of CPU intensive apps, like AVG, Spybot, AdAware (all of which I couldn't do without) which slowed down my machine. This gave me enough time to kill the process, flip over to the file and delete it.
I then rebooted, and was able to delete _update.dat which was the infected file.
thanks to all for your help, Ken.
well, i had the szme problem - i run mcafee antivirus...
mcaffee - for some strange reason recognises this virus as backdoor-ajx, i guess they ain't updated their systems..
see now i managed to delete the _updatedat file by going into safe mode... its easy as chips thatway BUT i continously get my mcafee detecting and automatically deleting this 'backdoor-ajx' virus..
ive looked online for this virus and there are manual removal - but when i try them, i do not have the sysptoms...
has anyone else got this problem?

How do you remove Trojan horse PSW agent N?
For Windows XP, do the following: this Trojan resides in the "C:\System Volume Information\_restore" folder which makes it inaccessible to AVG. You will be disabling and re-enabling the System Restore feature, and when you re-enable, the System Restore feature will create a new restore point and resume monitoring your computer, sans Trojan. The full direction can be found on Microsoft's site at support.Microsoft, but the outline follows: 1. click START, SETTINGS, and CONTROL PANEL 2. Double click SYSTEM and then you will have to search around to find a DISABLE SYSTEM RESTORE check box somewhere under SYSTEM (different XP's seem to have different routes to this check box) 3. click to DISABLE SYSTEM RESTORE check box, click APPLY, click to clear the DISABLE SYSTEM RESTORE check box, click APPLY, and then click OK. 4. Close everything down and Restart your computer.

I recently found PSW.Bliss H Trojan on my PC....the only thing that alerted me to something being amiss was that just as I closed the PC down the draw of my CD player would open! This happened a number of times and only by running my Anti-Virus software (AVG Free Edition) did I discover the problem. AVG automatically remove it and all is noe OK. You must remember to delete the System Restore files otherwise if you need to go back to a restore point the virus will could still be there! As far as I am aware the PSW Bliss H Trojan is an attempt to extract password info from your PC so beware!!
AnswerRecently I too was alarmed: AVG resident shield gave me a warning on PSW.Briss.H and *.C Files mentioned: jao.dll and bridge.dll. Search (incl. hidden & system files) on my system couldn't find these files, so I suppose AVG did deal with them in the first place. The AVG resident shield mention only stopped after doing this: I did a scan including what's in the files (went to safe mode F8, don't remember the exact formulation by heart). In a log file (setupapi.log), lines were found containing references to jao.dll & bridge dll. Erasing this lines (or you could delete the log file entirely) stopped AVG shield from giving me the warnings. What I find particularly odd is that searching most major anti virus products websites, does not give 1 hit when looking for PSW.Briss.H,unless I missed it...I use win xp pro, adaware, avg, spybot, ...
This entry because I know how hard it is to find what you need when confronted with a troublesome problem...

How do you permanently remove PSW agent AB from the file system32 securers dll?
As far as i could find out, the file securers.dll belong to a trojan, named Trojan.W32.Dialer (variants AY to CE). More info on this one, you find here http://www.pestpatrol.com/pestinfo/t/trojan_win32_dialer.asp
Because i don't know how you know that your computer is infected with the agent.ab, i can only give you a link and some advice. You can find info about this trojan-downloader at http://www.pestpatrol.com/pestinfo/t/trojandownloader_win32_agent_ab.asp
To get rid of both infections, you can probably use the online PestPatrol-scanner. However because agent.ab is a downloader, it is not unlikely that your computer is already infected with more malware. I strongly recomment that you scan your computer with your own virusscanner (ofcourse, after collecting the latest updates), as well as with AdAware and Spybot (both are downloadable free from charge).
Good luck! Jahewi

Where can you find information on horse Trojan psw.Banker.6.F?
Download a program called CWShredder. Here's the link: http://209.133.47.12/~merijn/files/CWShredder.exe Run the program and let it get it's latest updates. Let the program run and when finished, reboot your system. JR I didn't find specific information on psw.banker.6.F. The psw.banker-'family' is very large. Search with google on 'psw.banker' and you will find out ;-) If you think you are infected with a banker-trojan, do a complete system-scan with AVG-antivirus (or with your own virusscanner). AVG is regularly updated with the latest banker-signatures. You can download AVG at http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/ Good luck, Jahewi :-)

A legal anti-spyware doesn't display false positives. The false positive method is used by rouge anti-spyware. There's no possibility to tell if your anti-spyware is legal or not unless you name it.
If your' anti-spyware is legal, then you are infected. As your anti-spyware detected this threat, i assume it can delete it.
You can enter the name of your antispyware into http://www.yahoo.com or http://www.google.com and read the reviews. If most
of reviews are bad, than your anti-spyware can be corrupted and use false positives to gain a purchase.
I ran AVG and and it found the two trojans you are having trouble with. It would get rid of them, move one to virus vault and I would delete out of virus vault. Then, then next day, AVG found them again. So, I dug deeper. I looked to see where they were being saved. Then, I went to the file where they were stored. I also ran Hi jack This before deleting anything to verify things. To make along story short, I found it in a temp folder called -Temp. It was below the regular folder Temp. If you look in the -Temp folder. You should see an Optimize.exe and an Instal~1.exe These are the ones that are giving problems. If you look in the Hi Jack This log, you should see some lines that reference this. Those need to be removed, because this is where the reinfection comes from. NOTE: These are located in the registry files, SO BECAREFUL as to what you delete. Make a copy of your registy file firt and research the lines in question. After I did all this I have not had any trouble since. My computer is alot faster now.
This worked for my situation, but may or may not for you.
Thanks and good luck!
Also, look for a WebRebates0.exe file.
A Trojan horse has infected your system. For a user like you this really sucks. But I can help you. It seems like the author of the malware has incorporated the abilities of spyware and viruses. This combination is deadly for a system. By what you have said I take it that your internet connection still works. So instead of searching the internet for software that may have malware in it I would go to trendmicro.com and run housecall. Housecall will search the componets of your system to find active malware. The Trojan is still working so trendmicro will definitely find it. Once it finds it it will attempt to restore the damaged files, delete the Trojan, delete the file, quarintine the infected file or deny the Trojan access. This is the best solution in my opinion because the site has got it down to a science.
There is another solution but it will cost you around sixty bucks. You could go out and by a rescue CD that would attempt to heal your system.
Good luck,

Here's what I know about "downloader.agent":
1/ The file-name extension (after the 2nd decimal point)varies. Such as "Downloader.Agent.A", "Downloader.Agent.AS", "Downloader.Agent.MM", etc. So far I've found at least 50 different extensions.
2/ It creates the file "Kernell32.exe" in Windows, which is NOT a Microsoft Windows file. This file over-writes your main Dynamic Link Library file, (Kernell32.dll), which controls memory allocation for programs, ability to display images, and browser functionality.
3/ It alters the files: "Autoexec.bat", "Config.sys", and "Command.com". These are the critical files to start your machine.
4/ It creates a directory from the C:\ prompt called: "_restore\temp". You will find hundreds of files in here with a ".CPY" extension, which are NOT part of Windows. It is a log of your activity which is transmitted to someplace called the "Kazaa Network" through Outlook without your knowledge everytime you logon. If you're on DSL, you are transmitting constantly without knowing it. This is what slows down your page loading and prevents you from using icons on your desktop.
It also creates a sub-folder in Windows called "Plaxo". (C:\Windows\Plaxo). In here, you will find more CPY files, and a file called "Plaxo.Log". If you view this file, you will see a record of every single thing you've done since inheriting the virus. To view it, open your MS-DOS prompt, change the directory to c:\windows\plaxo , and then type in TYPE: PLAXO.LOG|MORE
(the | is the "pipe" sign above your backslash which lets you view the file one page at a time.)
By viewing this file, you can pinpoint the date/time you caught the virus.
It is impossible to delete the infected files, since they are in use by Windows and access is denied. Even if you change the properties of the files to delete them, Windows will not work properly since key-Windows files have been altered.
The only answer I've found so far to get rid of it, unfortunately, is to save all your user files on floppys or burn them to a CD, and RESTORE Windows from your Restore disc of Microsoft Windows disc.
I repair PCs, and have worked on more than a dozen machines in the past month all with this same problem.
Hope this helps.

Right ok bob im no computer whizz i had one of these Trojan downloaders you are talking about, burn all your files from your computer then restore it, what are you talking about all i did was run avg free then quarentined it and then ran malwere bytes and all traces of the virus has gone.
so there is no need at all to fully restore you computer or anything like that
