How do I erase a virus
Those aren't files, Don. They're web addresses. Your instructions are
meaningless. -- Gary S. Terhune MS-MVP Shell/User http://grystmill.com/articles/cleanboot.htm http://grystmill.com/articles/security.htm "Don Phillipson" wrote in message ...

I have virus scan from mcafree and it cant find them please help. Thnks Dan 1. First, stop them executing. Since you know the names of these items, rename them in a DOS box (or after booting to DOS) REN patchregistrycleaner.com patchregistrycleaner.dud REN patchupdateinfo.com patchupdateinfo.dud REN rclean.com rclean.dud (This overrides Windows' refusal to rename an EXEcutable that may be currently in memory.) 3. Back up essential data. 4. Run appropriate diagnostic software. We do not yet know what infests your system and whether it has really damaged anything or not. 5. Run appropriate removal routines. When in doubt you can always repeat step 1. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada)

Thnks Dan If you are using any version of Sun Java that is prior to JRE Version 5.0 update 9, then you are strongly urged to remove any/all versions. There are vulnerabilities in them and they are actively being exploited. It is highly suggested that you update to the latest version which is Sun Java JRE/JSE Version 5.0 Update 9 Simple check, look under... C:\Program Files\Java The only folder under that folder should be the latest version. Such as... C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_09 http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp FYI: http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/docum...=1-26-102557-1 http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/docum...=1-26-102648-1 For non-viral malware... Please download, install and update the following software... * Ad-aware SE v1.06 http://www.lavasoft.de/ http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ http://www.lavasoft.de/ms/index.htm * SpyBot Search and Destroy v1.4 http://security.kolla.de/ http://www.safer-networking.org/microsoft.en.html * SuperAntiSpyware http://www.superantispyware.com/supe...freevspro.html After the software is updated, I suggest scanning the system in Safe Mode. I also suggest downloading, installing and updating BHODemon for any Browser Helper Objects that may be on the PC. * BHODemon http://www.majorgeeks.com/downloadge...4332b4b8b8442d For viral malware... * Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL -- http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Multi_AV.exe To use this utility, perform the following... Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS } Choose; Unzip Choose; Close Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS } NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files. C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS} This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal Mode. This way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor's web site. The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Kaspersky, Exit this menu and Reboot the PC. You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you can download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded the files needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode [F8 key during boot] and re-run the menu again and choose which scanner you want to run in Safe Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode. When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive PDF help file. http://www.ik-cs.com/multi-av.htm Additional Instructions: http://pcdid.com/Multi_AV.htm * * * Please report back your results * * * -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html http://www.ik-cs.com/got-a-virus.htm

C:\Program Files\Java The only folder under that folder should be the latest version. Snipped Hi, having been reading this thread I notice that I`ve got 2 folders under the java folder in C:\Program Files\Java "jre1.5.0_04" and "jre1.5.0_06" and two entrys in Add/Remove programs, "J2SE Runtime Eviroment 5.0 update 4" and "J2SE Runtime Eviroment 5.0 update 6". Is it safe to uninstall these and update to Version 5.0 Update 9 ? Anthing I should be aware of before doing so? Thanks Kim ps: my comp is running fine.

How do I erase a virus
Glee has often said to uninstall older versions of Sun Java before/after
taking the new. The older one is still susceptible to virus/pest attack. But I wouldn't go hunting in folders. Instead, what do you see at...?... "Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Install/Uninstall tab" If more than one, uninstall the older. Let me see whether I can count the times Glee has said this thing... http://groups.google.com/grphp?hl=en&tab=wg&q= "Java Uninstall Glee" comes up 53 times. But I thought it was 5300! -- Thanks or Good Luck, There may be humor in this post, and, Naturally, you will not sue, should things get worse after this, PCR "kimbo_" wrote in message ... | If you are using any version of Sun Java that is prior to JRE Version 5.0 | update 9, | then you are strongly urged to remove any/all versions. | There are vulnerabilities in them and they are actively being exploited. | | It is highly suggested that you update to the latest version which is Sun | Java JRE/JSE | Version 5.0 Update 9 | | Simple check, look under... | C:\Program Files\Java | | The only folder under that folder should be the latest version. | | Snipped | Hi, having been reading this thread I notice that I`ve got 2 folders under | the java folder in C:\Program Files\Java "jre1.5.0_04" and "jre1.5.0_06" | and two entrys in Add/Remove programs, "J2SE Runtime Eviroment 5.0 update 4" | and "J2SE Runtime Eviroment 5.0 update 6".
