rfahey · 01-06-2006, 09:08 AM

Hi,
Firstly I would like to thank whoever is taking the time to solve my problem.

I'll start at the beginning. I got warning messages of troj/abox-d detection in my temporary internet files about 1 week ago. I immediately ran my virus software ( Sophos) and deleted what files it found. However the messages would recur. I know a little about trojans having had one before. I following my virus programmes advice, downloaded the virus ide file and removed the virus in safe mode using their instruction and file called sav32cli. Where I had difficulty was the vaqueness of the instructions: they also called for the editing of my registry in command prompt. I'm not experienced enough know how to go about that.
Somewhat unwisely I ran hijack this independently and compared it to a healthy previous log, deleting the extra entry - something called cravonlineweb. My computer began to have serious rebooting problems, blue screens etc. I'm not sure exactly what WAS happening but I kept trying to boot it up and back up files only to have it start behaving itself.
Everything seemed fine until today when the original troj/abox-d warning popped up again, having been gone for several days?
At this point I consulted this website, I have followed the sticky's instructions to the letter, running several sweeps with 2 online scans, plus a scan with my own sophos package, I run adaware and spybot, both updated as instructed and checked my add/remove programme list for malware listed.
Here is my Hijack log
