Removing Istbar.w Trojan 2

[roblay22]

Hi All, i have managed to get infected with the Istbar.w trojan, my antivirus (Bitdefender Pro)is picking it up but fails when it trys t do anything with it (either deleting it, renaming it, moving it etc). It is showing me the location \\doc&settings\%username%\localsettings\temp internet files. but when I try to view the files to delete them the folder appears empty. I have tried changing permissions on the folder (I have full admin rights), changing the folder options to view all files, and changing the properties of teh folders. Nothing has worked. The OS is XP Pro.
Any suggestions would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance.

All of the following antispyware tools appear to deal with 1stbar - some better than others. I seem to recall success using 'Spy Sweeper' in particular.


Google search list: 1stbar "spy sweeper" OR spybot OR adaware

I would suggest running in Safe mode and then run your virus scanner. Then I would d/l Spybot-Search and Destroy, as this will more then likely fix your problem.

Good luck
