Windows ME, 750mhz AMD/512mb

AVG has found a virus on my PC named Trojan Horse Dropper.Small.10.AN. I then started back up in Safemode, ran a system check and put the virus in the Virus Vault. I then Deleted the file thinking it would get rid of this virus, but the virus keeps reappering everytime I start my PC up again. What is this virus and how can I get rid of it permently? thanks for the help

disable system restore,
reboot ,scan and clean the trojan, then when clean , enable system restore.
Disabling or enabling Windows Me System Restore

trojan hunter has a 30 day trial, as does trojan remover. both list removal of that.
and a scan at:
http://housecall.antivirus.com
wouldn't hurt. since it uses activex.

www, thanks for the reply. How do I clean the trojan so it is gone Permanently? I thought that was what i was doing by puting the virus in the AVG Virus Vault and then deleting the file. Why can't AVG clena out the trojan if thats the program that found it? thanks again

some antivirus programs don't find all of the files, including those that are in the restore folder. that are part of the trojan.
I had to use tds-3 to find all of the files in a dialer trojan, and then I had to use regedit
to delete the entry from the registry.
to completely remove it.
I've also used trojan hunter and remover successfully in the removal of trojans.

Also a few other questiones for you. The same results keep coming up in both Spybot and Adaware even after i fix them in safe mode. How do I get rid of these problems in both programs permenantly. Also in AVG I have the virus mention in this post in the Virus Vault. What am I suppose to do with this? The first time AVG found it I deleted it out of the Vault and the next time I ran AVG it was back. How do I get rid of this one permenatly also. Thanks for all the help, I really appreciate you taking the time to help me learn and get my computer cleaned out finally.

Only thing I can see is this
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [EbatesMoeMoneyMaker0] "C:\PROGRAM FILES\EBATES_MOEMONEYMAKER\EbatesMoeMoneyMaker0.exe"

Uninstall procedure
Uninstall Ebates Moe Money Maker from "Add/Remove Programs" in the Windows® Control Panel.

http://www.kephyr.com/spywarescanner/library/ebatesmoemoneymaker/index.phtml

About the virus that avg found, you can try
start/run then type in the box %temp% ok
then delete files in the temp folder.

Abnormal, thanks alot. Will try doing another search for ebates also and will try the temp folder thing. Last time I deleted the Virus out of the vault and it came back again next time I ran AVG. Wouldn't deleting it from the vault remove it completely?
Also how do I get rid of the problems that Spybot and Adaware find, permenatly? Everything I run those programs it finds the same problems in the results even though i fix them everytime they are found. They always come back and never seem to be fixed. I just want these spyware problems off my PC for good. thanks again

Abnormal March 28, 2005 at 16:20:36 Pacific

If you are talking about the dso exploit
thing, its a known bug in Spybot.

Adaware, you may be finding tracking cookies.

Avg question, not sure.

Umphan10 March 31, 2005 at 15:16:30 Pacific

OK, this is how I did it with AVG. It took me weeks.

Here goes:

Scan with AVG and move all to vault.

then run regedit

search for these terms and delete all folders containing entries with ebates stuff (ebmm and Ebate and Ebates). I'm not sure why it doesn't catch them all with one, but you gotta do all 3.

then run msconfig
uncheck any ebatesmoneymaker type entries

then delete the ebates directory.

Run AVG again

Restart

Its not coming up anymore, but we'll see how long that lasts. Its not slow as balls anymore, which is nice for a change.

Sorry if this doesn't do it, I tried many things during the process, so I might have done an extra step without even knowing it. Good luck, this one's a bitch.

Thanks for the replys. Abnormal, What is the dso exploit? Not sure what you mean, but everytime I run Spybot & Adaware, the same results such as Gain, Alexa, IE Plugin, coolwwwsearch, apear even though I "fixed" them the last time I ran the programs. They seem to show up everytime i run weither Spybot or Adware and I am trying to figure out how I can get rid of these problems permenatly so they don't show up in the results anymore.
Also, I went to the %Temp% folder and there alot of stuff in there. Can I safely delete everything that is in this temp folder or is that gonna created problems? thanks

Abnormal April 3, 2005 at 16:42:02 Pacific

Don't worry about the dso exploit right now.

You may need to run your removal programs
in safe mode.

Things hide in system restore files, Disable System Restore and run the scans also.
http://www.pchell.com/virus/systemrestore.shtml

Yes its safe to clean temp files, spyware
can hide there too.
Download Crap Cleaner, and checkmark the settings below.

http://www.ccleaner.com/

Under Internet Explorer:
Temporary Internet Files
History
Recently Typed URLs
Delete Index.dat files

Under System:
Empty Recycle Bin
Temporary Files

Run cleaner

Try an online virus scan or two, set them to auto clean.

Good luck

Argh! Help me kill the trojan horse! I have the dropper.small.10.an virus and I've tried trojan remover, trojan hunter, avg, spybot, ad-aware, ccleaner - and still no luck. I'm a bit wary of deleting things manually incase I delete something important...Can anyone offer any help?

Many thanks, P

Pippa , what worked for mine is I ran AVG in Safe mode and at the end of the scan I put the dropper.small.10.an virus in the Virus Vault. Then i went into the virus vault and cleaned (deleted) the vault. Rebooted and ran AVG again and I have not seen the virus yet (knock on wood). How this works for yout too.

Abnormal, thanks again for all your help, I will try out those methods. You have been a ton of help, thanks
