Hi there,AVPE was doing its job well!,..2 days ago- tuesday 12th october AVPE detected a TROJAN -.....Dict.Dat Trojan horse detected-TR/DLDR.Win.Sh.AC.04.
Anyway AVPE quarantined it and i eventually deleted it then i lost the AV GUARD COMPLETELY from my toolbar!,nowhwre to be found, tried everything,the main core programme was still there?,so i had to uninstall AVPE and re-install AVPE again?.
Has anyone ever had this kind of problem before?.I have sincedone 3 independant scans with PANDA,HOUSECALL,SYMANTEC,SPYBOT 1.3,ADAWRE PRO. ect ect for TROJANS or viruses,spyware,nothing found CLEAN,any one any clues,if i did not know better from what i have read -maybe a virus located in the TROJAN that was detected DISABLED the AVPE GUARD,before it was quarantned or deleted?

Heya DragonBreath,

Probebly You had one of those Trojanhorses that kills your AV after removing the Trojan..(but you got lucky it did not removed your whole AV , sometimes it will delete your whole AV and then your vulnerible again) But ok probebly that is what happend...

Your virus and info below here:

Name Troj/Dldr
Type Trojan

Affected operating systems Windows

Side effects Allows others to access the computer
Downloads code from the internet
Reduces system security

Advanced User's info:

Troj/Downldr-EC is a downloader Trojan for the Windows platform that downloads and runs an executable file from a predefined location.
When executed Troj/Downldr-EC downloads and runs appl.exe, which is detected as Troj/Haxdoor-K, from the xxxx//babes.rompl.net/ location.


Edited to inactivate link. Use at own risk!

If the above scenario is correct, it sounds like you had a very narrow squeak indeed!

To ensure that you really are clean, why don't you D/L one of the specialist AT scanners to give your system the once over?

To avoid getting into worse trouble next time you should consider installing ProcessGuard, from DiamondCS, which will help protect your AV/FW etc from trojan attack.

Incidently, I do not approve of including live links, like the one in the above post, in this forum because someone with itchy fingers could inadvertantly click it and end up getting nailed.

Yes Sorry my bad ,
i forgot to remove the DOT inbetween and some open spaces..
Will not do it again Cheers

Howdy,

No Problem.

Thanks again all for your helpful info and advice

Howdy,

If you don't already have these programs, for your protection, I suggest you download and install these 2 very small, free programs that you run once and then just occasionally have to check for updates.

SpywareBlaster will block bad ActiveX and malevolent cookies.

IE-SPYAD puts over 4000 sites in your restricted zone so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all.
