Darn -- I'm having computer problems and can'taccess some sites includingEvans: ( Itappears to be due to a trojan virus and I may have to reformat my harddrive to fix it. Since I'm very reluctant to do that at thispoint in time, I'm living with the inconvenience and doing some workfrom the library.

Hubby isn't too upset -- I can't access my ebay account (or any otheron-line shopping for that matter) from home -- so my spending hascertainly gone down LOL

The good news -- I am still able to access Rabbits Only :bunnydance::bunnydance:

Pam: You may be able to save it without areformat. There are some online scans that will sometimescatch things regular virus scan doesn't. Also in case you don't havethem, theres the spyware stuff you can run. The last 3 are things youactually install and you'll want to make sure you updatethem. You may even want to run the last 3 more than once,sometimes it'll pick up more stuff the next time around.



Let me know if you have any questions. (sorry Carolyn, I knowits not a computer help forum, but this may be of value to several ifthey don't already know it!)

Many thanks Carolyn :love:



Thought I had most of my pc issues solved because I got a flashdriveand backed everything up (which would have allowed me to wipe out myharddrive and start over).

Unfortunately -- starting having problems with the flash and couldn't access the files I backed up. :tantrum:

Sent it back and just heard from the guy -- the flash itself was bad,so he's sending a new one that also has more storage on it.

PuterGeekGirl -- you should be calledPuter"Guru" Girl! I am hoping to be ableto get this fixed without reformatting, however have downloaded manyscans (including some I have paid for) -- and still no luck.

Apparently, this particular trojan unistalls itself after running sovirus scans can't catch it. MS does have a patch to fix it,but I am unable to run or download any updates, patches, etc. from theMS site. I'm sure the ms downloads would fix my problem if Icould get them to download successfully :?

At this point, I can still access my email and some things on theinternet. I am unable to access my website or the clubwebsite that I do, however, I can access geocities file manager andupload files to there. I am then able to go to the libraryand access pagebuilder to update the sites.

So, I'm thankful that I at least have most of the use of my computer and can do the club work on it.

Do you know the name of the trojan?What happens when you go to MS Updates...what OS are yourunning? If you have an IM client, we can always take thisthere...let me know!! ;) I'll do my best to help!
 
Here is the message I get when updates tries to load:

The Windows Update software did not update successfully. Below are some suggestions to help you proceed:

  • You may have clicked No when prompted to accept the TrustCertificate. To allow the Windows Update site software to install,click Yes when presented with the Security Warning dialog box.
  • Your Internet Explorer security settings may be set too high. Toinstall the updated software and access Windows Update, InternetExplorer security must be set to medium or lower, and active scriptingand the download and initialization of ActiveX controls must be enabled.

    Note These are the default settings for InternetExplorer. For more information about Internet Explorer security andinstructions on how to change your security settings, readMicrosoftKnowledge Base (KB) Article Q174360.

Were these suggestions helpful?Send us your feedback.


-- I can get to other downloads on the site including the virus patch,but it won't successfully download. I found info on thetrojan on the ms site -- can't find it right now, but will look it uplater.

My OS is Me.

I appear to have something similar to this,although I do not know the exact varianthttp://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/trojan.boxed.e.html



Previous scans that I did were picking up a trojan that I couldn'tremove, although I don't know if it is the same one that is causing theproblem. I've done a number of things includingchecking security settings, reloading java, etc.

My boyfriend is studying computers, and doestech support as a part time job. And he says the best freeVirus scanner right now is Ewido. Download it and run theupdates for it, then run a complete computer scan.

It caught a trojan that I had on my computer, and it was doing almost the same thing as your computer is doing.

You can download it at: http://www.ewido.net/en/



I hope this works for you!!

Hmmm... Win ME could be yourproblem..... I would advise upgrading to WindowsXP. Windows ME was a rush job by Microsoft, they wanted tohave something out in time for the new millinium, and they cut alot ofcorners.

First thing my boyfriend does when he comes across a Window's MEcomputer is swithc the operating system before he attempts to doanything.

I would highly suggest using Window 2000 or Windows XP, if at allpossible. Those OS's have way less holes for virus' to getinto.
 
Figures I had to end up with the crappie os :(



Here's some of the trojans I found on a scan in safe mode (although it didn't fix the problem) . . .

dyfica.2.al

dyfica.3.al

1stbar.ar

dialer 8.aa

It sometimes takes a few days for AVG to pickstuff up... It did catch the trojan I had but it took a fewdays.

I'm all out of suggestions... If I talk to my boyfriend andhe suggests anything I'll let you know. But I'm pretty surethe first thing he's gonna say is get a better OS. Evenwindows 98 is more secure than Winows ME...

Sorry I couldn't help more...
