Trojan.generic ( act_bro )
« on: December 18, 2006, 08:08:14 PM »
hi...
i've encounter this new viruses where i have tried to use avast antivirus with boot time scan also cant delete...
used...
kaspersky antivirus , AVG , Anti Vir , and even Ad-aware SE but yet all scanner can't seems to elimite it...
only kaspersky anti virus will detect it and will named it as something named trojan.generic or most of their function will be control and cant be open and there is something called " act_bro" or something come up!
any solution?
plus now my computer is being infected some problem....
where when ever i double click on C: or D: drive , it will pop up another window folder where it become the original folder we open plus another new 1 inside C: and not like usual , where we will go direct into C: with the same windows folder !
what is the problem?

 :)  Hi :

     A "trojan" is NOT a "virus"; therefore, should use a program that "specializes" in detecting and
    "quarantining" trojans, worms, keyloggers, etc  . I have Ad-Aware; however, for "things" like
     this, I use the FREE version of "SUPERantispyware" from www.superantispyware.com  AND/OR
     AVG Antispyware ( formerly known as "Ewido" ) from www.ewido.net/en . Recommend you
     try either or both of them .
     IF neither of these "work", perhaps you should look for a "rootkit" !?

That anti-trojan anti-virus thig doesn't apply for a very long time now. They are all anti-malware tools even though they have name anti-virus. Worms and trojans are preevant types of malware, yet we still don't have anti-worm programs either...

Hi scorpio_ng,

This is the general procedure to remove generic trojans:
