I have run AVG, Spybot, Ad-aware, Spyware Blater updated, SUPERAntispyware,and just added Stinger.
Was at MajorGeek looking for another anti-spyware, really slow system (after deleting all extra's on the drives wanted to check for problems). An AVG window popped up saying while I was downloading (I wasn't)it found:
D:\Windows\System32\eraseme_44741.exe - a backdoor trojan. Before I could click on an option the AVG window closed.
Tried to download Stinger but it dead stopped at 97%, had to restart.
Did a 2nd Stinger dowload and ran it on drives C and D. Results showed 2 viruses:
W32/Polip and W32Polip!mem
It suggested "repair" which I did. Hmm..should I have deleted instead?
A minute later the AVG window popped up again and closed. Went to check AVG log and found 2 backdoor trojans:
lRC/BackDoor.SdBot.XAF. erasem~1.exe
and the original one (listed twice)
Is the "erase me.." the same as the Polip or did it just open the door for Polip?
Why did it say it came with a download I wasn't even doing?
And how did anything show up after running all the other programs except Stinger? I did see another "Eraseme_" which was fixed, everthing else was clear.
Shouldn't you always delete trojans/viruses or is it that they might be attached to an essential file (so you want to repair instead)
