Hi, posting this in regards to my sister's PC which has been overrun by spyware & trojans :tazz:

I was able to remove MOST of the crap that has accumulated on her system, but there is one troublesome one left. Tried searching around on google for resolutions, as well as on a few anti-virus/security info/removal sites but was unable to find a working resolution to this. Browsed through and searched around on this site as well for the same issue but mainly only found similiar type trojans; not the exact same one ;)

The file is named rodbrmx.exe located in windows\system32\ however I cannot view this file via windows explorer yet it comes up in anti-virus scans. The trojan is identified as Downloader.Small.37.AQ; but in NOD32 it says it's Downloader.Qoologic.L .... weird heh.

Her PC Specs:
=========
1.3ghz Pentium III
ASUS motherboard
512mb SDRAM
60gb WD hdd
Windows XP Home w/SP1 & SP2


What I have done so far:
================

Turned off System Restore & rebooted into Safe Mode
Ran Panda ActiveScan - antivirus scan
Ran Spybot Search & Destroy - spyware scan
Ran Ad-Aware - spyware scan
Ran SpySubtract - spyware scan
Ran SpywareBlaster
Ran NOD32 scan - antivirus scan
Ran AVG Free scan - anti-virus scan
Cleaned out all temp files, temp. internet files, etc.

Here's a copy of the HijackThis scan:

Hello and welcome to GeeksToGo! My name is Kat, and I will be helping you fix your sisters' computer back up and show you how to help her KEEP it that way!! :tazz:

Download FindQoologic from http://forums.net-in...=post&id=134981
Extract (unzip) the files inside into their own folder called FindQoologic.
Open the FindQoologic folder. Preferable to your desktop.
Locate and double-click the Find-Qoologic.bat file to run it.
wait until a text opens, post it in a reply to your thread.
