No where else I surf the net does it pop up- just here.
I'm wondering if I have a virus or is this a new thing to IIS?
My virus detector programme isn't picking it up. |
Hello Suzy,
Seems you have a bit of a problem there. It's not a virus as such so it's hard to detect using virus checkers. This trojan is difficult to get rid of but it's possible once you know what the name of it is.
Next time it pops up, use Ctl-Alt-Del and work your way to the task manager and look in Processes or Services. The popup should be visible in the list. See if there is a file running called random.exe, that is the usual name for this trojan.
If it's there, find it's location and delete it. If it running as a Service, you can disable it there as well.
Unfortunately, that's not the end of it. Some variations hook themselves onto Java runtime library and Firefox. Delete them both and re-install them.
If you have difficulty, download and run HijackThis and look through the log file for programs running that do not look familiar.
Notice you now have Nortons
Sorry to hear that.
