Worm?

I have a problem on my comp.

When I leave it on to download and such, and im not there (as i do a lot anyway), after a while i get this pop up about how theres a ''worm''/ virus thing on my comp and I should run AVG for windows.

But when i run AVG, and when it finishes scanning, it says that ''there were no infections found'', yet that stupid window pops up, every time when i leave my computer on and i dont do anything on it for a long time. I updated the AVG before i run the test, and i have run the test numerious times.

Anyone know what it is or how to get rid of it? I did all Raz recomended in the ''Securing your comp'' thread...

maybe you have a trogan virus 😱

*trojan

have you done a spyware check? some do get noticed by spybot and not by AVG

thanx babe 🙂
but i had that once, and all my 50 different spywear things didnt pick up on it 😬

I'll try that 👆 thanks.

only install 1, mish, I had two virusscanners a few years ago of a local (dutch mind you) company and they recognised eachother AND themselves as a virus 🙄

i have polish on-line scanner and it is perfect 😊

Argh...its not working 🙁

I did the spybot scan, and its still there.

does it give a name ? and is it a windows pop up that says it or a program?

Hmm..I'll leave it on unattended now, and I'll copy what it says.

What is the worm called?

Do you have the Sygate Firewall installed?

Also I would use Ad-aware as I don't think the other one is updated.

I didnt install the Firewall, I'll install it if it'll help.

I dont know the name of the worm, I'll leave my comp on tomorrow when i go to uni, and the pop-up should appear again, so I'll see what it says.

Then you didn't follow my instructions 😛

A firewall is a must to stop worms even getting near your computer.

It'll also let you control which programs can access the internet, and also let you know when your computer is being attacked from the outside.

Sorry Raz 😮 pray

Anyway, this is what it says.

I'll go install the firewall now 😮

😑

but this programs are not only virus scanners 😑
most of them are doing different jobs 😬

lil ***** > the name is apperently Worm/Padobot.Z

and to put it gently... you're in a nasty situation: AVG cannot delete this virus...why? because it's in your systemrestore I see... virusscanners cannot delete or clean there.
this one can remove it :
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.korgo.removal.tool.html

or if you like McAfee; this should help with it too:
http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/

those should clean it ... otherwise you have to delete your systemrestores and all
