PSW Trojan Horses

Integrater · 04-30-2008, 02:16 AM

AVG (free versionkeeps notifying me of PSW.online games, generic, and legendmir Trojan Horse, but whenever I click remove threats it pops up under system restore and alerts me within 10 seconds. I think I got it from a starcraft brood war download. Jusched was another problem. When I used starcraft program, screen turned black when other people started downloading map from me, and my desktop appeared in safe mode color scheme without avgrsx under cpu processes number keeps spiking from 0 to 50+ then alerts. System idle process under windows task manager also spiking to 85 processes. Help!

You've downloladed at least 2 trojans that are intended to steal your passwords. PSW.online games and legendmir are usually spread through downloads of illegal game cracks and patches. There might also be other infections not detected by AVG.

Please follow these instructions (5 pages) and post the requested logs in a new thread here.
