I read somewhere that the Karna.dat was a virus or spyware... is that true? I still see it in the log...hopefully its nothing.

It most cases, dat files are very bad, and Anti Virus software picks them up and always removes them.....

But view more information here :)

Re: go.google (go.yahoo) virus
 
Cohen, thank you for that information. Now I am concerned. What most concerns me about karna.dat is that it showed up in my HJT logfile even after I had run the MBAM. Running the MBAM seems to have worked so far. Even after restarting my computer twice, the go.google problem seems to be eliminated. I am just waiting to hear back from Crunchie and see what I should do next.

Re: go.google (go.yahoo) virus
 
Try again for SDFix and run it in safe mode. I am pretty certain that it targets that file.

Re: go.google (go.yahoo) virus
 
See if you can locate karna.dat and delete it if found. Fix the line in hijackthis with karna.dat in it, reboot and post a new hijackthis log.

Re: go.google (go.yahoo) virus
 
Crunchie - I ran HJT and "fixed" the Karna.dat line item. After rebooting, I ran HJT again and I dont see karna anymore. How does it look to you?

Oops. here is the HJT report post restart:

This is not true. They are NOT all bad and an anti-virus program will NOT always pick them up and NOT always remove them, especially if it is associated with a Trojan since anti-virus programs very often will not pick up a Trojan and remove it. Some Trojans yes, but most no, because they are not viruses. This is why specialized programs usually must be used in Trojan removal.
Virtually all applications create ".dat" files that don't really tell you anything about the file, what it contains, or what program it belongs to. There is no standard format, and there is no standard way to interpret the contents. ".dat" is only a name indicating that the file contains data nothing more. Lot's of IM programs use .dat files to keep a message history file. many anti-virus programs create thier own .dat file. This shows that not all .dat files are bad and not all .dat files will be picked up and removed by and anti-virus program.

Problem with .dat files is that they can only be opened with the program which created it and much of the time there is no discernible indication of what program created the file.
You very often times CAN delete a .dat file, but if the program that created it is still on the computer then it will create a new .dat file to replace the deleted one. That is why you must remove the creating program too.
Very often legitimate program will create .dat files when they are used and many are set up to get rid of the old ones and replace them with new ones. Not all programs will do this but some of them will.
The reason the poster was able to remove that karma.dat this time was because crunchie had the poster run SDFix, which removed the offending application so the karma.dat was no longer tied to anything and it could be removed as crunchie instructed.

Re: go.google (go.yahoo) virus
 
jholland1964 - very informative and interesting. I see now why following certain steps is necessary to ridding the computer of the entire problem. I hope am okay now. Keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks again

Re: go.google (go.yahoo) virus
 
You're welcome. Just hated the idea of folks reading this "running" through their computers deleting all the .dat files they found when that wouldn't always be necessary or even successful, as you found.
Glad all is working well.
