Hi,
I'vew been having some trouble with the removal of a trojan or a malware program. So far this is what it is doing that I know of, and what I have done to remove it (without success). Your help is greatly appreciated.
- it deleted the exe files for Norton and will not allow me to reinstal or do updates.
- it deleted spybot exe as soon as it is downloaded and installed.
- it deleted avast exe file as soon as it is installed.
- it prevents safemode bootup. It produces a blue screen and reboots.
- It provides pop-ups from ad.theadhost.com
I managed to utilize the minimized screen version of avast and it found several trojan viruses which it said it fixed.
I also ran:
CA Antivirus scan (online version)
Ad-aware (found nothing)
ATF Cleaner
FXBeagle fix from Symantic (because I thought it was this virus...but the cleaner said it was clean)
AVG Antivirus found about 15 trojans viruses and said it cleaned them. The Resident Shield option will not work.
TrojanHunter found 2 and said it cleaned them.
I rebooted and thoguht I had gotten rid of it and I still cannot load up spybot or avast and the pop up ads keep coming back.
