  • 1.  Trojan Backdoor is cleaned but always comes back

    Posted Sep 14, 2009 12:15 PM
    Our client found this trojan(11.0.4014.26) and cleaned it but it didn't go away, it keeps coming back. I did google on the issue but nothing seemed
    to be working. Tried many different tools (hijack this, adaware, malware bytes, spybot, spy doctor, combofix,...). Nothing did the thing. In the registry we can't
    see anything strange. Even in  the win.ini and the system.ini we don't see anything strang at all. Please does anybody have an idea. perhaps reinstalling the sep client?????

    Have you tried the latest Rapid Release definitions?

    You may need to submit a sample to Security Response for a possible new varient in the wild.

     The backdoor's take advantage of system vulnerability. So make sure your system is all patched up.

    Unfortunately... it's possible that you are being reinfected using a security hole in the operating system created by the initial infection.  That is the very nature of a backdoor.

    "Whenever a system has been compromised by a backdoor payload, it is impossible to know if or how much the backdoor has been used to affect your system."

    Hey guys and girls, problem solved. I used the combination of microsoft updates and spybot and adaware end yes the trojan is gone.
    Thanks anyway.

    I'm glad to hear, but please bear in mind that security on a level that can't be repaired by any AV software may still be compromised.
