Mr Prince Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Alright, I did that. I assume going through first time setup means I did it correctly P: I'll do another malwarebytes scan just to be sure Thats probably clean install yes, check if any old files still on hard drive if not do last scan with malwarebytes and nod32 if both clean you can pretty much login steam again. Anyway can't help further untill tomorow if need further help, my tmj dysorder is acting up and i have horrible migraine right now :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleverpun Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Alright, all the scans Im doing are showing up clean, so it looks like the f11 system restore worked. Thanks to everyone who gave me advice (though some of it was more panic-inducing than I would have liked). Should've just said I had a laptop from the start and avoided the rest of the stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Cleverpun, I think you're honestly worrying a bit too much. Did you download the .rar and open all of the files inside of it? Or just download the .rar? I downloaded the .rar, and it's still sitting in my downloads. It's honestly not dangerous at all like that. I might remove it and all, but you get my point. But... I don't want to stress you further, but I AVG'd the rar and it came out clean. Malwarebytes, however, found the file and deleted it. It's called Trojan.Agent There are a lot of ways to remove it, you can probably just look it up on youtube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pophead Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Download malwarebytes Done. Malwarebytes isn't the god of removing viruses/malware It'll remove 65-70% of viruses that maybe present on your computer. You'll need to run 4-5 different scans with different programs - including a bootable environment (dr.web cure it dvd, kaspersky rescue disk) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have scanned it with AVG, Comodo, and Malwarebytes. Malwarebytes was the only one to detect it. I agree that there isn't one end-all Antivirus, but for this particular trojan, Malwarebytes is the best option. Also, other AVs might detect it, but Malwarebytes might be the only one that looks into .RARs and .ZIPs, which is what this file comes as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comodo's antivirus has always been a bit crap, same with AVG. Just wondering, is there a .exe file within the .rar/.zip file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVG gives decent real time, and Comodo's antivirus is one of the better free ones. It's an exe disguised as a picture in a .rar file.
