Trojan won't seem to go away...

[Korgath]

My PC has been recently infected but Ad-Aware and Search and Destroy can't seem to detect or remove. If anyone could give me some help it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the PC Guide Forums!

We need more information to help.

What is the name of the trojan exactly?
What file location did it get found?
What program found the infection?
What Operating System do you have on your PC?
Edit: With XP a copy is saved in the System Restore files and AV cannot remove them. If found in Restore files, you have to delete the restore points and then turn them back on.

You have some other issues there, wait for the experts to read the HJT log before attempting fixes.

Your log shows that you have a LOP infestation. This is installed as "sponsored software" by Messenger plus 3.
To remove, uninstall messenger plus, from Add/Remove Programs. Then post an updated Hijack this log.

[pop pop]

You can take care of this after the other issues but you have a vulnerability because your Java is way out of date (1.5 is current). Google Sun Java, go to the SUn site, and follow the instructions to get updated. This is a trojan vulnerability.

Hi again, thanks for all the advice so far.

You seem to have two anti virus programs running, AVG, and Norton. This is not good practice, as they can interfere with each other, and cause all sorts of random errors. I suggest that you keep bot, but only have one running, retaining the other for "on demand" scanning.

Please post a followup Hijack this log, and say if your problems persist.

[Korgath]

Problem seems to have been eliminated. Many thanks for your help, David! However, I do notice that whenever I start Windows XP, a file called procmsg.exe keeps trying to load, but SP2 prevents it from loading. Any idea how I can get rid of this?

[david eaton]

That looks like a clean log. Well done.
I can find no reference to a file named procmsg.exe on Google, which makes me think it is probably a random named malware file. Can you find the file and check it's properties, to see if that helps identify it?

[ErnieK]

David
I googled for it as well and came up with nothing. I then removed the .exe and came up with the following google result. None of it makes sense to me but might do so to you.

http://www.google.com/search?q=procmsg&sourceid=opera&num=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

[Korgath]

Looks like it's a C source file. Or just named like one.

It's located in C:\WINDOWS\system32 and is 33Kb. The Security tab suggests that it "comes from another computer".

Should I just delete it?

[david eaton]

Ernie, I think those Google hits are for a C++ procedure, and not really applicable in this case. Malware almost certainly!

Korgath, I suggest that you move or remane the file, and see if
a) the error message disappears, and
b) everything works.

If yes to both a and b, then delete the file.

[ErnieK]

Dave
I did not think it was relevant here but thought I would get you to check out just incase.

[Korgath]

procmsg.exe is gone. Thanks for all your help, Dave!
