Trojan "hacked by 1byte" SillyFD-AA
« on: June 01, 2007, 08:30:56 AM »
Hello everybody,

You certainly have heard about this trojan which propagates througt USB drivers...
and then on your I.e explorer you can read the message "hacked by ... "
So I have scaned my USB driver and avast has found the trojan and has removed it from the usb driver;
but when I scan the computer, which is infected by this trojan, avast is not able to find it, so I don't know how to remove it from my computer.

thanks for ur help!  :)

ps: sorry if I've made english mistake because it is not my first language.

avast (or any other antivirus) can't remove all kind of infections. Some of them requires specific cleaning procedures.
Did you at least try them?
