Help: Trojan horse generic

[PhilliePhan]

Thank you for your help.

Hi JP,

Happy to try to help.

I do not see much in the logs. Looks like MBA-M removed the Vundo that AVG detected.

-- You should Go and Update your Java here ---> http://www.java.com/en
--> Please note that, before updating your Sun Java, you MUST remove ALL older versions that may be on your machine or you will still be vulnerable to some exploits/weaknesses such as VUNDO which may target and force execution on older runtime environments.
-- Do this by going into Add or Remove Programs and removing any versions that differ from the current version listed at the Java site. They may look similar to the following:
Java 2 Runtime Environment SE v1.4.2.06
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 2
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 9
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 6 Update 1
Java(TM) 6 Update 2

Then, run ATFCleaner again as directed in the "Read Me First" post. This will flush the Java Cache, among other things.

-- Also, you should Update your Windows Defender. Use that for "real time" protection and keep MBA-M on hand for "on demand" scanning like you just did.

Hi PP!!!

Thank you very much for your help. My computer is clean!... I've performed a full scan a couple of hours ago and nothing is infected!...

My last question: I've uninstalled older versions of JAVA and installed the new version in that link (the one u gave me). I have some troubles with youtube.. I cant watch videos... Is there a problem with the JAVA??

Well... thank you again

Hi JP,

Happy to help

-- The new Java (if it is running properly) should not be the cause of any problems. And, as I mentioned in last post, you really need to keep it updated to help avoid further Vundo infections.

-- Do you get an error message?

-- Maybe update your Flash Player?

Sometimes the issue is on YouTube's end and they get it sorted pretty quickly. Do you have the same problem on other video sites?

Hi PP,

Well, I don't have any problems with other video sites.. only youtube. I was using facebook and I wanted to upload some fotos, but I've got the following message

"To use our full-featured photo uploader on Firefox on Microsoft Vista, you must have the latest version of the Java plug-in.

(Versions of Java older than 1.6.0_07 will cause Firefox to freeze.)"

A little bit weard.. or not?

That is indeed odd.. . . .

You should double-check that you have everything installed properly and enabled.

Make sure your Firefox plugin is in order as well.

This version of Java should not be the cause of the problem. Especially if other sites are not affected....
