My brother's pc has been infected by a trojan psw.briss.b I can't find any mention of this anywhere and was wondering if anyone has come across it and if so, knows how it is removed. Thanks

PSW means that it is a password stealing keylogger trojan. Most often these trojans will email the hacker the infected victims passwords, they may also upload the passwords to a web or a ftp server somewhere. To remove this particiular trojan you need to remove the following key from the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run "systray" = C:\test\A.exe reboot then delete C:\test\A.exe for more help and software to remove trojans visit http://www.anti-trojan.org

I have the same problem and I can't find c:\test\A.exe . I get an error messaje that says you are infected by Trojan Horse PSW.Briss.B and run AVG antivirus but when I seacrh with AVG can't find anything. The eror message also contains this path c:\System Volume Information\_restore{2831736F-2805-4F7E-8A67-2D2C9D8BC1D1}\RP125\A0006275.dll But I can't find this folder or this A0006275.dll -------------- PLEASE HELP !!

Firstly to kers, thanks - managed to get rid of the trojan altogether. Secondly, psychothekid - c:\test\a.exe was given as an example. Check the 'systray' value in the above registry key for the actual location of the file you will need to delete. The second part of your message relates to the ME/XP system restore - AVG cannot remove a virus/trojan from a system restore point. The only way to do this is to turn off system restore, reboot your computer (this deletes all system restore files), turn system restore back on and reboot again.

sorry to disturb you guys...but i'm having the same problem, and i'm trying to learn something with you guys, but can you explain what can i do like if i was a " four year old boy" 'cause i don't understand nothing about computers
