[generalkelly]

Hi, hoping someone can help me sort my pc out. Recently I've managed to get the AVGold spyware/trojan stuck on my pc.

I managed to get rid of it using HJT, Killbox, AVgoldfix.reg and Ewido Security Suite.

The problem I've got now is that Ewido keeps alerting me of new trojans on my pc, it cleans them but whenever I try and open a windows box (e.g My Comp and Win Explorer) it refuses to open the box and alerts me to different trojan exe's. The exe files change each time but they all seem to be related to the folowing two files/programs?

TrojanDownloader.Agent.bq

Trojan.Agent.em

I've followed all the steps on the pinned post above and it does remove the trojans but as soon as I reboot or open internet explorer the alert from Ewido comes straight back up notifying me of new trojan exe's.

I can't seem to get rid of these and am starting to tear my hair out now!

Here's a copy of my HJT logfile, I'd be massively grateful if someone could throw me a lifeline please!

Hi, thanks for the speedy response!

I'll follow your instructions but i'm unable to move the Hijack to a specific folder as the pc currently will not let me open any windows folders at all. As soon as I try to I get EWIDO security alerts about trojans and then the folder refuses to open.

Shall I carry on with the instructions regardless of this?

Thanks again for the help.

[generalkelly]

I've just realised that I'm not going to be able to open windows explorer either, I can however open windows folders when the pc is in 'safe mode'. Will I be able to complete all the steps you've listed in safe mode?

[generalkelly]

Fantastic! That seems to have sorted it, it's booted up ok with no warnings and I can now open windows folders again!

Don't open e-mail attachments without first scanning them with an up-to-date
anti virus program, even after doing that I would be very careful. Don't click on any executables in e-mails or any other links that you're not sure of.
Watch your surfing habits, don't click on or download anything you're not sure of. Don't install a program that hasn't been recommended by a reputable organization.

Good luck and thanks for using the forum - MrC
