Is there a complete package of some sort I could download onto a CD to then copy
over onto the problem PC so I can scan it properly.
You've ran an AV program on the system, which clean what they can. The anti-spyware
programs, cleaned what they could. AV programs don't/can't clean most trojans, but
there are different types of trojans. They usually require manual removal. That's
where HJT helps, but since you can't post the log, boot into Safe mode to remove
them. You can download a free trial Trojan Scanner, and update manually. Then run
it, but there's no package that will clean up everything. The rest is likely going
to have to be manually removed. However, since I do not know what all is on your
system, there could be other malware that requires other removal procedures and/or
tools.
Download the trial version of TDS-3 and update the database manually, and
perform a full system scan: Wilders.org - anti trojans
Naturally, you need to run it on the "problem" machine, in order to fix the entries.
It serves no purpose to run it on your system and have it fix anything, correct?
First make sure hidden files are showing in Folder Options. End task on any of those
listed as running in TaskMgr. (they're less likely to load in Safe mode, but there
are some that do) Next, locate and delete the trojan files. Clear out all temp folders
on the system again.
I'm working on this; so far I've run online RAV scan, it found:
OK..You said in another post, the infected machine couldn't get online. Now you're
saying you ran an online scan and found all those trojans? Which is it? You're on
your own clearing this up, since you can't post a log to this forum. I'm not going
to manually go through all this bit by bit. It's often time consuming enough, having
a HJT log to go by.
Q: Do I need to reinstall IE6 and Outlook Express etc, or are these programs covered
in the WinME installation?
A: You'd need to reinstall IE 6, as ME comes with 5.5 installed. Once you updated
it, it should be listed in Add/Remove so you can run the repair tool.
Good luck
