Win32:adan-068

StupidComputer · 06-07-2005, 12:40 PM

I was searching for tech sites and found this, thought you guys could give me some help.

I have windows 2000 professional.
Avast said that I have win32:adan-068 (adw), the file is in the system folder, I tried to delete it directly but it didn't budge then the comp froze. I ran AVG, nothing, I ran Ad-aware, nothing, I ran SpybotS&D, nothing. After I tell avast to delete it or move it into the vault and then delete it, it just pops up somewhere else, another file. Also my internet connection is down so I am using my other computer which is working fine. I'm not exactly sure what to do since I can't get on the net and scan it with other programs. I also had a process running called ttkotgr something like that, I got rid of it by deleting the file, it was hidden in the system folder. Before I deleted it I searched for it and nothing came up so I didn't think it was anything. But it would only be on when I had internet explorer open. I have searched for adan but can't seem to find anything or a way to get rid of it. HELP ME PLEASE!

Hello and Welcome to TSF

You may have a regenerating file that renames itself or regenerates after reboot.
Please follow these instructions

Scan your pc with 2 of these free online scanners:
Panda ActiveScan
RAV AntiVirus
Housecall. Be sure to put a check the box beside AutoClean.

After using 2 virus scanners Download and install: HiJackThis.

(Always create a Folder for HiJackThis anywhere but your Temp/Temporary Internet Folders or Desktop. A good place to make a folder would be in My Documents, as this is where it will save the backup files needed if there's a problem.)

Then doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Do A System Scan And Save Log". Make sure all Windows and Browsers are closed.
When the scan is finished, best to save your text file in the same folder as where you put HiJackthis.

Create a New Topic and include a fresh HJT log in HiJackThisLog Help Forum and Copy/Paste the info from your saved Hijackthis log file into your new topic.

A Moderator/ Security Team Analyst will give you instructions.

Always describe your problem and any programs you have used to try to resolve your issue. Your description can go a long way to solving/repairing your particular issue.
