W32.backdoor.Nibu and family
« on: May 23, 2004, 09:23:20 PM »
Avast seems to have a blind spot for this Trojan. I only noticfed due to rundllw.exe appearing in my Startup folder when boot up began to take longer. Confirmed by Bazooka.
Is this going to be remedied in the near future?
Any suggestion on how to remove this for free: I am not sure which one of the family I have aquired?
Thank you!

Nibu is just one of the variants in a "family of virusses". W32.Backdoor.EZbot W32.Backdoor.Lid W32.Backdoor.Nibu W32.Backdoor.Nibu.B W32.Backdoor.Rado W32.Backdoor.Socakaps

As far as I know Avast is perfectly capable of handling all virusses.

And you must not confuse a virus with a trojan or spy-/adware.
