hmmmm I have this nasty beast on my puter, its being picked up and deleted/healed, but it keeps coming back.

I've used avg - spybot - microsoft antispy - and aol anti thing but its not clearing it, I think spyware blaster was on. I looked on hijack but didn't see anything that I thought was unusual.

I guess I'll have to turn off system restore and run some stuff, is that what you'd suggest or any idea's please?


Do I need to panic ? .....................................

Michelle, System Restore has to be the single most useless gimmick ever to come out of Microshaft.  I have it turned off permanently for the very reason that it is totally useless as it backs up nasties, and who in their right mind would want to back up a nasty to their hard drive?  The only time I ever enable it is if I am installing hardware and then I disable it again as soon as the job is done and everything is working correctly.

If the advice already given doesn't cure it, you might want to try Xoftspy.  

Let us know how you go on before downloading Xoftspy.  :roll:

So I thought I'd try that simon but it keeps saying can't download something try again, so I checked the requirements and all fine, so I dunno, shame that cos I fancied trying that.

You have to use Internet Explorer, Michelle, and you need Java and ActiveX enabled, which it probably is by default, but if not, you'll get a yellow bar at the top of the IE window, asking if you want to install the F-Secure ActiveX.  Say yes and you're on your way.

Don't worry about disabling System Restore, it hardly ever works anyway!

No, but the link only downloads a trial that finds nasties but won't remove them. ;  I presume you can read between the lines- hint, hint.  :roll:

yeah it did it, and it said it found it but it didn't give me an option to do anything with it - I guess you have to pay for that ?

its in

C:\windows\system 32\winuns32.dll.trojan.win32.agent.gt.

Its still coming up saying do I want to heel it, so I say yes and then it comes again...it only pops up when I'm using IE ........ not if I use IE through AOL.


hmmmmmm what next ? System restore thingy

Do you use Norton System Works, Michelle?  If so, disable the Norton Recycle Bin.  It might be getting lodged in there - I had one do that some time ago.

Sorry about F-Secure, I thought it said it removed them as well.  Anyway, at least you know what it is now.  I was recommended Ewido on another forum, which is another trojan remover, and is available as a freeware trial version, but this is fully functioning for 30 days, so will also remove stuff it finds.

I started to use Panda online AV to remove the nasties (not that i get many  :halo:) since AVG would only pick them up after a scan but couldn't repair half of them   :roll:


At that point i said; AVG, your lightweight, your fired!!!  :splat:
