Trojan Horse found, not I think I may have a virus? Please help!

[billythefish]

Hi,

The other day I downloaded, what I thought, was the latest JAVA update, after that I ran my usual AVG scan and it picked up the following Trojan horse:

Trojan horse BackDoor.Ircbot.MHT

AVG moved it to the virus vault and I subsequently deleted it but since that time I keep getting AVG pop-up warnings about tracking cookies, mainly tracking cookie.2o7 but I have had warnings for the following:

Tracking cookie.2o7
Tracking cookie.Revsci
Tracking cookie.Tacoda
Tracking cookie.Tradedoubler
Tracking cookie.Adtech
Tracking cookie.Yieldmanager

I can't say that I'm experiencing any major issues since the warnings but I guess the Laptop is a little slower than usual? I recently downloaded CCleaner and followed the instructions about how to delete old program files that aren't being used as well as old cookies etc, unfortunately I'm still getting the warnings and AVG is still picking up the same cookies when I do a scan?

Please help??? DDS log below:

hi,

Cookies really are not much to be concerned about. You can control them somewhat from browser settings. I think also you can have AVG not scan for them.
As for the trojan, does AVG quarantine it?
You can get another download as a check for malware. Link and directions:

Please download Malwarebytes (http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php) to your desktop.

Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.

Be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.

If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.

Once the program has loaded, select Perform FULL SCAN, then click Scan.
When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.

Be sure that everything is checked, and click *Remove Selected.*

*A restart of your computer may be required to remove some items. If prompted please restart your computer to complete the fix.*

When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Please save it to a convenient location. The log can also be opened by going to Start > All Programs > Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware > Logs > log-date.txt
Post the log in your reply.

Thanks shelf life! :bigthumb:

With regards to the Trojan Horse, AVG transferred it to the Virus Vault which I then emptied and deleted a couple of weeks later. The reason I thought/think I may have a virus is because since the Trojan Horse was found I keep getting these AVG alerts about the cookies, especially the .2o7 ones?

I've done as you said the log file is below:

hi,

ok your welcome. Keep Malwarebytes and note that it must be updated manually and a scan started manually.
If you use Fire Fox you can get it to reject third party cookies and delete them automatically when you close FF. You can also add Exceptions to block certain cookies. With FF open go to Tools>Options>Privacy tab. You will see the options there.

If all is good, some tip to help you remain malware free

10 Tips for Reducing/Preventing Your Risk To Malware:

In no special order

1) It is essential to keep your OS (http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us),(Windows) browser (IE, FireFox) and other software up to date to "patch" vulnerabilities that could be exploited. Visit Windows Update frequently or use the auto-update feature. Staying updated is also necessary for web based applications like Java, Adobe Flash/Reader, QuickTime etc. Check there version status here. (http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/online/)

2) Know what you are installing to your computer. Alot of software can come bundled with unwanted add-ons, like adware, toolbars and malware. More and more legitimate software is installing useless toolbars if not unchecked first. Do not install any files from ads, popups or random links. Do not fall for fake warnings about virus and trojans being found on your computer and you are then prompted to install software to remedy this. See also the signs (http://www.virusvault.us/signs1.html)that you may have malware on your computer.

3) Install and keep updated: one antivirus and two or three anti-malware applications. If not updated they will soon be worthless. If either of these frequently find malware then its time to *review your computer habits*. There is no reason why your computer can not stay malware free.

4) Refrain from clicking on links or attachments via E-Mail, IM, IRC, Chat Rooms, Blogs or Social Networking Sites, no matter how tempting or legitimate the message may seem.

5) Do not click on ads/pop ups or offers from websites requesting that you need to install software to your computer--*for any reason*. Use the Alt+F4 keys to close the window.

6) Don't click on offers to "scan" your computer. Install ActiveX Objects with care. Do you trust the website to install components?

7) Set up and use limited (non-privileged) accounts for everyday use, rather than administrator accounts. Limited accounts (http://www.microsoft.com/protect/computer/advanced/useraccount.mspx) can help prevent *malware from installing and lessen its potential impact.* This is exactly what user account control (UAC) in Windows Vista and W7 attempts to address.

8) Install and understand the *limitations* of a software firewall.

9) A tool (http://nsslabs.com/general/ie8-hardening-tool.html)for automatically hardening and securing Internet Explorer 8.0. Requires site registration for downloading. Changes some of the default settings of IE 8.0, Read the FAQ's. Or see a slide show Here (http://threatpost.com/en_us/slideshow/How%20to%20configure%20Internet%20Explorer%20for%20secure%20surfing) and do it yourself.

10) Warez, cracks etc are very popular for carrying all kinds of malware payloads. If you look for these you will encounter malware. If you download/install files via p2p networks, then you are also much more likely to encounter malicious code in a downloaded file. Do you really trust the source of the file? Do you really need another malware source?

A longer version in link below.

Happy Safe Surfing.
