Trojan

[johnyb]

Hello,

Can somebody tell me how to get rid of a trojan win32/Renos.JM

THANKS FOR HELP

The best way is with a trojan remover program

If the trojan is not hidden too deep, do the following

If you are using windows:

Click start -> run -> type in regedit in the text box

registry will open up

in the registry click edit -> find -> win32/Renos.JM

highlight win32/Renos.JM, then right mouse click and delete

Don't you have any AV protection?

Its quite dangerous to remove a Trojan in the registry. You never know if he is hiding elsewhere.

download this free program and have t run. It will find all the culprits and get rid of it

Download and install Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (the free version).

Make sure the program is fully updated before performing a scan. As a precaution, disconnect your computer from the internet once the MBAM self-update is complete.

Select everything that MBAM finds, click "remove selected". You MUST restart your computer when prompted.

After reboot, run a quick scan again -- to make sure the system is clean.

Second vote for malwarebytes.org.

Also try out Eset Free Online Scanner - www.eset.com/onlinescan/ - it will also remove without having to purchase, and Eset have good detection and removal rates.

If you're going to poke around registry I'd strongly recommend taking a backup first.

The Greeks were successful at getting rid of Trojans, but that was a long time ago.

Spybot search & destroy.

get this one http://spywareterminator.com and use all their features for free. They have the largest database worldwide and even provide their data to all paid spyware terminators.

It Rocks!!!

I also have been using malwarebytes.org.

It was suggested to me by Leo Laporte - The tech Guy. He has numerous pod casts available at The TWIT Network. I try to listen to as much as possible as I find it all very informative. Learned heaps of useful tips etc.

I agree with the above ESET NOD32 is ace,and if you dont fancy buying it there loads of passwords and serials available if you google it.

Using cracked antivirus programs is not to be recommended.

Especially NOD32 I would say, 99.9999% of the Thai shops pre-load their crappy windows installations with a cracked NOD32. There are no free versions of NOD32, so it has to be cracked. These cracked versions are nothing but trouble, we get computers in almost every day loaded with virus despite them having NOD32 installed.

Loads of free excellent antivirus programs out there, I will not name any as this is not supposed to go OT and discuss which is the best free AV program (loads of such topics already).

NOD32 or Avira are by far the best AV's out there. However, when you have an infection you need to scan in safe mode for the most effective removal, regardless of what you use.

[eMzyme]

I wouldnt use a crack on anti virus program but I would use a serial and there are free trials of NOD32 available.

I tend to think that these freeware programs tend to install more crap than they remove, tbh.

You get what you pay for, i guess

that's not always true, some free programs have/collect a larger database which they can sell to commercial companies and in return they also get the solutions, - talking about spyware etc..

Download and install Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (the free version).

Many thanks for that link.

I have had a different Trojan, from the OP, but the programme did the trick.
