Trojan Virus Help - Trojan.Alemod

ejstout · 12-30-2005, 11:55 AM

I picked up some stupid Trojan Virus. The Trojan.Alemod.

http://securityresponse.symantec.com...an.alemod.html

For you network admin guru's:
1. I disabled system restore.
2. boot my computer into safe mode.
3. ran norton and tried to use the fix and repair utilities.

But all of that is unable to get rid of this trojan.

My question is, should I manually just delete this file?

Since I picked up this trojan my internet is slow as ****, I get lots of popups when I'm online, and my homepage is blank everytime I load up the internet eventhough I go and keep resetting it to yahoo.

Thanks.

Hey,
If you want to manually get rid of it. Try going to you regedit and find the

file you wish to delete.. Be careful though; if you delete something by mistake

you wont get your file back that you deleted. Following that if you deleted something

inportant your computer might have some glitches with your computer.. Just

be careful on what you delete. ( Best of Luck )
