Frenchman Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 went to log on to my computer last nite after my brother had been on it and norton came up with a high risk virus alert!!! i am running norton internet security 2005 and i update all my virus definitions every day just to be on the safe side, everything is running and i am using it as my firewall. The virus name is :Trojan.Vundo.B And it is a hidden file in: C:\WINDOWS\Drivers\Motorola\faxmp3.dll Thing is i never installed any motorola based programmes. I have tried removing the file and fixing it, puttin it into quarantene and it wont let me, i guessed it was being used by windows so rebooted the computer in safe mode. When te computer is all boted up it comes up with safe mode in all four corners but none of the icons or start menu are displayed. So i tried ctrl+alt+del and then runt task but norton doesnt seem to want to run ti just takes ages and then comes up with an error report. I have also tried to do a system restore but id didnt work, so i then tried to do one to an earlier that but i have none saved as i had to turn off system restore for norton to work. Any other ideas on how to fix my problem apart from formatting my hardrive and starting fron the begining?? Oh my operating system is xp home and it is an e macines computer. only 3 months old!!! Many thanks pierre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaggy Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Have you managed to get rid of the trojan? My mate has got it as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nb88 Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 On norton, try clicking the threat name when its found it in a scan, and it should say a manual way to delete it :blink: . Or search for the name of the file in google. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burton Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Norton is pretty crap :blink: imo I had something like 8 trojan thingys and neither Ad-Aware or Norton even saw them!
