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.
Bob
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.

What do does the Trojan Horse Downloader Swizzor BB virus do and how do you get rid of it?
"Trojan Horse": The horse was left in Troy as a gift. "Beware of gift Horses". For PCs the gifts installed as trojans may be screensavers, games, atomic clock updaters etc.... that really do work! ... but beware of gift horses! Downloader: Something that downloads other software, usually without your knowledge. Beware of sites with virus encyclopedia definitions indicating a Trojan Downloader as beiing non-destructive.. which may be true.. because the other things it downloads can be destructive... and not even considered to be virii (IE: keyloggers to get banking passwords). How do you get rid of it. I use Ad-aware, SpyBot and SpyBlaster. Be vert wary of any other spyware programs./. as some are soyware in disguise! These were not completely effective. Add HijaakThis to capture logs. Be careful in using this program, but note strange looking exe files. The names seem to vary alot, but have strange names. A system I cleaned included names like Flagdraw.exe and "clock kind idle bolt.exe" I beliebve swizzor uses some kind of dictionary to assemble the exe names based on a property of the computer infected so that each infected system gets files with different names. Mark down the exact names and full paths of the files since Ad-Aware and Spybot do not appear to fully clean them off the systems. Before running Ad-Aware and Spybot run MS-Config, turn off virtually everything in Startup (especially programs like MSN Messenger, Real Networks etc. that can serve to download malware... and o course everything you don't know... even things you do know like SYSTRAY could be malware in disguise!) Only AFTER running ad-aware and spybot manually remove the exes in the paths shown in Hijaak if they still exist. If they are in 'TEMP' folders delegte everything in the temp folder. Also clear your Internet Cache (Tools - Internet Options) and change your Advanced - Security settings to clear the internet cache each time you close the browser. Check that no malware type BHOs (Browser Helper Objects) remain by running HiJaak... more than once. (They may re-appear a few seconds after getting a clean scan). Check that your browser no longer has odd menus to shopping and gambling sites. Finally delete any odd desktop icons like Casino Online and Poker. If you cannot drop them into the recycle bin right click and Delete. DO THIS for each user... running ad-aware and Spybot under each user account!

Look in the AVG test results. Find the location of the infected files. Then boot into safe mode and delete them. To boot into safe mode tap the F8 key as your computer starts up and choose Safe Mode from the menu.
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.

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 computers get infected with viruses malware and spyware?

Do you need to be concerned if a small painless bump comes up on your head?
If you are refering to small, fixed bony lumps directly behind the ears that do not "float" and are not painful, you shouldn't panic. This trait is genetic and traceable back to certain regions of Africa. If you're not black and don't have any black blood relatives, but your family claims to have native American blood somewhere in its lineage, you might be interested to know that a lot of times people would claim they had NA blood in the to cover up that their offspring had a black parent in the lineage somewhere. Also, there could be some African blood intermingled in with the NA lineage unbeknownst to your family.
I've got these "lumps" myself, my parents took me to the doctor when I was little (about 25 years ago), and he said it was fine. I learned about the genetic aspect about 7 years ago while studying human biodiversity in college.
If the lumps "float", are painful, or haven't always been there, I'd go pay the doctor a visit just to be safe--or simply for peace of mind.
AnswerIf they are on the sides of your neck, below your ears, they are just your lymph nodes. Nothing to worry about.How do you remove Trojan startpage virus 19j if AVG is not working?

How do you remove the blue search bar?
I had exactly the same thing and it is the most annoying thing in the entire world. On the right hand side at the top of the screen it should say 'tools', click on it and then it should say 'Manage add-ons', click on that and on the left hand side it says 'Search providers'. Click on 'Babylon' and at the bottom it says 'Disable suggestions' click on it and then it should also either say 'Google' or 'Bing' above 'Babylon', so click on that and click 'Enable suggestions'.
