Is it safe to delete this Trjn?!
« on: October 18, 2004, 03:44:37 PM »
i ran i schedule boot time scan for an hour ago, and Avast! found an Trojano-522[trj] in the folder G:\windows\system32\06wu29rd.exe

(G:\ is my local hdd.. C:\ i have another OS on..  ;D)

the question is: is it safe to delete that file?! i know i can do nothing but to delete trojans(or move/rename) so my guess is, that im in really big trouble..  :D

waiting for expert help  ;D

That file is part of the "ABetterInternet" adware. Also known as VX2, Binet, VX2.ABetterInternet, StopPop, stop-popup-ads-now.com, My PanicButton

Removing that file will not completely removed the infection. You also have to remove things from the registry and perhaps even more. leas post a HijackThis log here and let us have a look at it.

Have a look HERE and fix everything that is marked as nasty. Than create a new log and let us again have a look. And please use the latest version of HijackThis 1.98.2 since 1.98.0 has some issues. You can get it from HERE

Run HijackThis, put a checkmark in front of the things reported on the site I gave as being nasty, then click on "fix checked", rbeoot after doing so.

Then create new log with HijackThis and post it.

Those things are Winsock hijackers, that can be fixed with LSPFix.

I don't know how you got to that URL, but that is not the one I gave you to get lspfix. http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.zip is the one you need. The correct link is at about 1/3 from the top of that page on the left site. ;)

the signature you have, i pressed it and pressed a link to lspFix and i got into that site and just pressed: "LspFix for XP". i dont know how i got that URL too, but thanks for the correct link. i have an internet download speed tester that tells me that all the FTP sources with LspFix on cexx.org are "almost dead"(running 1kb/s or so) hehe.. so its gonna take a while..
