Re: 2 trojans reappear
 

Hi,
Did as was instructed, but after double clicking the batch file it gave me a black screen with...paraphrasing:
Could not find c:\windows\system32\stu2.exe
'pauseDel' is not recognized as internal or external command, operable program or batch file.....................

when I checked system 32, I did not see a "Stu" file, but there was a userinit file.....I think that is good?

Re: 2 trojans reappear
 

Hi, George... I don't know how pauseDEL got into that last batch command... :) .. it should have had just pause as the second command. But no matter. And i did not see where stu2.exe got deleted in our procedure...
Any further occurrences of the two trojans?

Re: 2 trojans reappear
 

Hi,
I ran Malwarebytes full scan this morning and No trojan.agent appeared.
Should i run it in safe mode with files "not hidden"? or anything else...
Thanks
George

Re: 2 trojans reappear
 

I would be satisfied, george, with where you are at now. The hidden files thing is just a presentation option for explorer... it does not actually set attributes on a file that are not already there. Other pgms can see them. Do a quick scan in safe mode if you wish, but any keys present would be found in normal mode; you would be hoping to spot a rootkit only that had not started up.

Hi,
Did another scan last night and nothing appeared..thank you, again, very, very much. I really appreciate your time and effort!. Have a great day.
George
