It keeps blocking the internet, pulling up shit sites and attempts to run some bullshit antivirus. The university's antivirus is SHIT. It has never blocked a single infection for me. I think it said it's name was "Trojan.Fraudpac.somethingorother" I googled it and haven't found a legit way to get rid of it. It's somehow infected both of my laptops this week. Both with anti virus. I don't go to shady sites either. Will post a screen shot momentarily. I might not be able to get back online considering the bitch already blocked it on my main laptop. halp?


It also won't let me run any apps: "progname.exe has been infected, do you want to run antivirus now?"

cant get into paint to make screen shot.

Save yourself the heartache and reinstall.

5/27/2010 5:41:14 PM

trend micro usually clears this shit up pretty well. Just download it and run it, you may have to rename the executable to get it past some of the beginner tricky level viruses. If that doesn't work, get back to us

5/27/2010 5:41:34 PM

MBAM will get it. get it on a flash drive and install on your computers. If it wont let you install, use "Root Repeal" to stop the virus process

5/27/2010 5:46:32 PM

I cant reinstall on the netbook - no CD drive.

I have trend micro on both. How do I enable it again? go into safe mode? renaming wont work

downloaded MAMB but the trojan won't let me run it. What now?

download the program "Root Repeal." Run that...find the virus process (usually a process name with random letters and numbers) and stop it. Then install MBAM

Pick one.

I'd rather not do that since I have no way of reactivating all the specialized software that controls the buttons on it like wifi, volume, and FN key response. They are not available online - already checked on that.

How about a way to defeat the Trojan instead of doing a full system reinstall?

5/27/2010 6:10:21 PM

you can extract root repeal on another computer and transfer it over if necessary.

Also try Sysinternals (http://www.sysinternals.com) to see what processes are running. You may need to change the name of the program to "winlogon.exe" for it to work.

I can also email you the program if you want. Its about 3mb

back up essential files and reformat.

6/2/2010 1:09:48 PM

try a repair install first.

Depending on how far infected your computer is it might be easier to just wipe reinstall the OS. I had a particularly nasty virus doing the same things yours did but it even infected my save mode. I got a similar one later that safe mode wasn't infected by though as well. With that one I put MalwareBytes on a flash drive and ran it from there. wiped out the virus, then booted normally ran it again and cleared everything out.

With my first infection I ended up having to drop my hard drive on an external inclousure and plugged it into an uninfected computer. Then ran MalwareBytes on it. Then I placed it back in my laptop booted up and ran MalwareBytes to get the rest of the stuff. This one was a headache and took a while but finally fixed all my problems.

Trust me their software works wonders.

I had this same thing happen the other day, first virus Ive ever had at least knowingly and no idea how it got on my system, but I had it gone in about 10 min. Gotta restart and get taskmanager up ASAP and kill the process so that you can actually do anything, then find the files and kill those and then take care of your registry and boom done
