crosspost: having again a bad day with this virus on log into xp pro

[shajnday]

hi all!


this virus i have for at least 5 years....going on from my first
notebook, it is with hdd which i have cloned onto another disk and
repaired XP pro sp3. I have ben using malwarbytes, superantispyware,
avast and trusword allalong and everytime i do find some new kind of
spyware,trojan, virus or some other junk.


i really don't make much of downloads but i did had some stupid
applications and or some stupid programs which were security risks in
respect that i was using this notebook as an important workstation.


the last standing virus which i have now on my hdd is preventing me
to
long into adminstrator interface od win xp both regular and safe
mode,
i.e. i can't log into system. When i get the first log page there is
no users icons to log into, i.e. there is no empty field to input
username and password it is hidden, missing.


i did solved that issue once before as i did had backup and i did
have
pointed that disk on another clean computer and cleaned the disk with
some antivirus programs, i used combofix.exe also.


this virus is a persistent one, and it bumps out of nowhere also
after
5 antivirus-spyware checkups and manually deleting and dsearching for
"odd files" ...etc. maybe it is perlovga but i did everything i
possibly could to get rid of it.


One of old-school ways would be to put a fresh copy of system but i
do
have a load bunch of programs installed, and UI which i have adjusted
through many years...if i do that, the only things i wouldn0t like to
maintain are internet browsers favorites and their adjustmens, really
it is not such a hard work but i would rather choose the search and
destroy method manually or through the antivirus program...


What to do to punch thi virus into nose and to bring back normal
windows log-on console so as safemode.


p.s. this happened to me yesterday for som 6th time as i was trying
to
log on into safemode into admin account ...

You write much but actually write nothing about the nature of the malware you suposedly
had for 5 years.

You call "it" a "virus". Assuming that you have malware it is doubtful it is a virus.
There are so few of them Today (or five years ago) while there are magnitudes more
trojans. That is why the term malware is used. All viruses are malware but not all
malware are viruses.

You say you have used; Malwarbytes, Superantispyware, Avast, "trusword" and have also
used ComboFix (dangerous tool if used wrongly or under certain circumstances).

What is "trusword" ?

What makes you think you have had a partucular malware for 5 years ?

i have been using Truesword 4 and newer Truesword 5 from stronghold
antivirus company---it is a good software for examinig computer but it
is a security risk i guess.

i have the same symptoms of this malware for 5 years ... this with
locking up login console is the same symptom for all this years, i
could only make an assumption that it started with the autorun.inf as
a part of this malware as you call it. That all are viruses for me.

A good software ? Their homepage www.securitystronghold.com
resolves to a site in Russia, called vistaglance.vistaglance.com,
which is down ATM.
I believe that truesword might possibly be your malware.

Investigating a little more deeply, www.securitystronghold.com
is on MVPS malware hosts file, also a search for the name brought up a
miss-spelt page at www.fileguru.com :
Truesword appears here, along with a lot of other improbable
"trojan-removers"
http://www.fileguru.com/apps/freeanty_virus/p4
But NOT here, the official page.
http://www.fileguru.com/directory/Se...ti-Virus-Tools
Mebbe fileguru's been hacked ?
