|
|
Antivir recently detected Java Open Stream t on my pc and I did forward a zip file of it to Germany to tell me if it was a false positive. Avpe came back and said it was a real virus/trojan so I deleted the file.
I have not been able to find any info on it and was curious if anyone out there has heard of it or can supply a link to what it is.

Howdy,
Can you please post the portion of your scan log where this was/is listed. I would like to find more info but can't find anything with the given name.
Another question - at what level is your heuristic scan set to?

Heuristic set to medium. I will check if I kept the e-mail that I sent which included the log file when I get home later. I have Antivir set to overwrite each log file which maybe I should change to append. I hope I still have the copy in my sent folder so that I can let you take a look at it.

Sorry, but all the data is gone. From what I remember, the directory was c/windows/sun/java/deployment...... and that is as far as I remember. I will be prepared the next time something like that happens.

I too just found this virus/Trojin. it is located: C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\javapi\v1.0\jar
The infected files AVG found are: javainstaller.jar-3cc46f89-680c9792.zip, and : javainstaller.jar-3cc46f89-680c9792.zip\javainstaller\InstallerApplet.class
I have a "program" called Java (TM) Plug-in Control Panel that is in this directroy.....C:\DocumentsandSettings\User\ApplicationData\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\javapi\v1.0\
Is it this proram? I think it was Downloaded when I was attempting a Speedtest. Any Help would be Great.

Hi Tbagz,
Welcome to CastleCops. 
Antivirus companies are the worst for telling people that trojans are viruses. True, some antivirus applications can detect trojans, but trojans are not viruses. They are spywares that can load stuff on your computer for the purpose of using it for their own ends.
Do you use a firewall? Firewalls block most basic trojans automatically. I would suggest this one at this page here:  /downloads-cats-5-10-10.html ZoneAlarm is also a good freeware firewall. It's at the top of this page here in CastleCop's Download Section: /downloads-cats-5-20-10.html
| Quote: | Sygate Personal Firewall
Description: FREE for personal use, Sygate Personal Firewall 5.x provides best of breed security in a user friendly interface, protecting your PC from hackers, trojans and DoS attacks. New features include full-ICS support, protocol driver level protection, enhanced logging, and more. Sygate Personal Firewall is the first FREE personal firewall to offer protection from malicious code intrusions, keeping the information on your PC safe and private. Version: 5.x Filesize: 8.44 MB |
It would help to know your operating system, but without it I would advise you to download a trial copy of TrojanHunter. I use this application. It is reasonably priced if you choose to purchase it after 30 days. It is one of the top three anti-trojans in the world. Here is a DIRECT DOWNLOAD LINK for TrojanHunter from CastleCops Downloads. It's compatible with all Windows platforms.
| Quote: | TrojanHunter
Description: TrojanHunter searches for and removes trojans from your system. You have the ability to add custom trojan definitions and detection rules. If you are downloading files from the Internet, you need TrojanHunter! Features: High-speed file scan engine capable of detecting modified trojans Memory scanning for detecting any modified variant of a particular build of a trojan Registry scanning for detecting traces of trojans in the registry Inifile scanning for detecting traces of trojans in configuration files Port scanning for detecting open trojan ports The Advanced Trojan Analyzer, an exclusive feature of TrojanHunter, is able to find whole classes of trojans using advanced scanning techniques TrojanHunter Guard for resident memory scanning - detect any trojans if they manage to start up LiveUpdate utility for effortless ruleset updating via the Internet Add custom trojan definitions and detection rules Process list giving details about every running process on the system, including the path to the actual executable file Accurate removal of all detected trojans - even if they are running or if the trojan has injected itself into another process Built-in netstat viewer Extensive help files Free technical support via e-mail. Version: 4.0 Filesize: 5.88 MB |
You will need to update it online to get the latest rule-set files. For the trial version you have to do this manually. Full instructions are provided here: http://www.misec.net/trojanhunter/updating/
For Windows XP and 2000 only an excellent freeware anti-trojan called Ewido Security Suite can help you. You can find it on this page at CastleCop's Downloads (3rd one down): /downloads-cat-6.html
Get one, install it, update it, run it, and let it fix everything it finds. Then let us know?
Best regards
