Need help removing some spyware/trojan
Posted: 2006-01-27 01:08pm
I went to my friends house yesterday to hang out, he told me his computer started acting all mental and slow...getting popups.(This just started happening recently) So I installed Mcafee, spybot search and destroy and nuked 129 virues/spyware/malwares.
Problem is I can't get rid of three, they are all linked to a file that is a downloader program located in E:/Windows/system32/st3.dll
Doing a normal scan/clean with mcafee doesn't help, nor does going into safe mode and doing a scan/clean work.(safe mode no network access) I tried deleting it in CMD/dos, saying "Access restricted, make sure it's not write protected." I tried the properties to make it not write protected, didn't wanna delete. I tried some googling, couldn't find much on removal instructions.... anyone got any ideas or removal instructions?(It seems to be a memory virus)
About all I can think of doing right now is going into safe mode, and disabling the .dll so it becomes inhert.
Help if you can please?
Fast computer, XP prof SP 2 all updated as of last night, mcafee home, and spybot, before anyone says "Reformat' thats a last option.
