Thanks for the reply. That is what I have found using a web search too.
But why has this threat been ignored by the major AV companies like Symantec, McAfee, Trend, Panda, etc.? None of the major AV vendors mention any type of vulnerability and/or fix for this issue. This is what conerns me.
Yes I'm just fixing one, it basically hijakcs legit files and then replaces them and puts the legit one's in a bak folder, so we have to reinstall the legit and remove the bad ones!
hi, welcome to TSG.
Download hijack this from the link below.Please do this. Click here:
to download HijackThis. Click scan and save a logfile, then post it here so
we can take a look at it for you. Don't click fix on anything in hijack this
as most of the files are legitimate.
* Double-click on the FindAWF.exe file to run it.
* It will open a command prompt and ask you to "Press any key to continue".
* Press any key and the FindAWF tool will begin scanning your computer for the infected AWF files and the backups the trojan created.
* It may take a few minutes to complete so be patient.
* When it is complete, it will open a text file in notepad called AWF.txt which will automatically be saved to your desktop or whatever location you ran the file from.
* Come back here to this thread and copy and paste the contents of the AWF.txt file in your next reply.
post a hijack this log and the AWF log!
