Can't delete Trojan Virus

[rklalli]

Hello,

A virus has been detected on my computer by Sophos called Troj Mosuck-C. It is attached to the following file:

netconfig{5}.xtr

According to Sophos, it states to go into Registry, HKEY Local Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run and delete the entry <random value> and reboot. I've followed this path and am not sure which value to delete. I did see that it had one entry in there which had netconfig{5}.xtr as its value. I've removed this and rebooted but Sophos still detects it and can't delete it.

In addition to this, Ive updated all of my IDEs for Sophos and it only picks up this virus. But when I do an online scan with Norton it picks up a different 7 viruses!!!!!!

Most of them being backdoor viruses ending with EE, AA.

Are there any online virus scans that will allow me to detect these viruses and delete them as Norton just displays them????

Cheers

where is your virus scanner detecting this trojan? If it is in system restore, you need to turn it off and scan then.
You can also read up here and maybe find those registry keys....
