Java_Openstr.a Help

Hado · 01-25-2005, 03:56 PM

I've found this virus on my PC with trend micro, NAV doesnt find it.
Anyways It was located in ducuments and settings\Me\...Sun\Sunjava installer, which i deleted. Now trend catches it in C:\Recycler\long series of numbers.
It is called Java_Openstr.a
Any suggestions on removal? or what this is? I am not familiar with Hijack logging so if someone could help me out there I will post my results here.
Thanks!!

Update: seems to have been deleted with trendmicro now since it was in recycler and was not in use by windows.
I'd sill like to make sure.

Hello Hado

Download and install: HiJackThis 1.99 .

(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 Thread in HiJackThis Log Help Forum and Copy/Paste the info from your saved Hijackthis log file into your new topic.
