Trojan.Win32.Vapsup.lux

xray_man69 · 10-01-2008, 06:12 PM

I had some infection that kept telling me my PC was infected and my desktop had a red biohazard background on my desktop. I ran every cleaner I could find. It stopped the popups but the background is still all white. I changed to picture, and I can see it when I startup or shutdown. I ran Kaspersky Online scanner. It is telling me that I have the Trojan.Win32.Vapsup.lux infected on c:\windows\mgxfebsq.dll.vir

If I delete this file, while peace and serenity be restored? Somehow I doubt it.

Please help!

Dwonload Malwarebytes Anti-malware, save to hdd, boot to safe mode, then run quick scan, remove threats, then boot up, update Malwarebytes Anti-malware and run full scan, I've seen this bug before.. Dump system restore files and scan until clean, then turn system restore back on, good luck, jja

P.S. Tell everyone beware XP Security Center 2009 it is rogue anti-virus

You'll get crash like screen savers or bug like screen savers you'll have Virus Alert! in the tray and unexpected problems trying to get rid of it any other way...
