Win32: Trojan-gen.UPX
« on: November 10, 2004, 11:28:41 PM »
Hey guys...probably another simple problem for you to fix but its beating me. Firstly i'd like to say thanks for providing excellent free antivirus software...i seem to be infected by this virus trojan thingy

Win32: Trojan-gen.UPX

Cant seem to find out much about it...didnt think i had it untill yesterday when just after Avast had updated. The alert then popped up...so is this a new trojan or is it old? When i pops up ive just pressed deleat in the past...is this good? Ive never seemed to have had much luck with repairing or moving to chest...the viruses just seem to come back!

Thanks for you help.

Avast tells you when it is detected. You can also check Avast's log file.

2] Reboot
3] That's all. Problem solved ;)

If you have run a scan to confirm your computer is clear, yes.

okay this is REALLY bad you guys, I signed up to ask you all a question. I have the same virus the guy who made this thred has but its in c:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\wjm3urj <that being the trojan. I have tried deleating it, super deleating it, deleating it with avast, the last option i have is to encrypt it (wich I believe locks it like moving it to a quarentien) I SERIOUSLY need some help on this you guys. If the encrypting/deleating don't work I'm out of options. (fyi i even used a hidden process viewer, im in win98 btw, to check hidden process. now either that virus is smart enough to hide from that or its got some NICE protection.) but another thing is i noticed there was a problem when kerio personal firewall AND avast antivirus failed to load on bootup (even AFTER I specifially checked run\msconfig\startup to prove it was checked for it) so I'm guessing it disabled both. so I have one word to say. HEEEEELLLLLPPPPPP!!! O_O
