Solve : Nasty Trojan, Please Help!?

Answer»

JRE1.6.0_04 isnt listed in the Java Folder....
I'm running a search for it from the START menu....
A search didnt COME up with anything....
I have NEVER had such a problem getting rid of an error window like I have this one....OK. It looks like some registry entry is calling for it.
Get RegSeeker: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/regseeker.html
It's a safe tool, which always creates registry backup.
Open it, and search registry for JRE1.6.0_04
Delete all keys containing the above string.
Let me know.Alright, that did the TRICK! There were about 6 entries left....
Thanx for all your help Broni..... You're welcome

One more step, though...

1. Download, and install CCleaner: http://www.ccleaner.com/download/builds. Get "Slim" version.
Read CCleaner instruction here: http://www.jahewi.nl/ccleaner/ccleaner.html.
Run CCleaner.

2. Turn off System Restore:

- Windows XP:
1. Click Start.
2. Right-click the My Computer icon, and then click Properties.
3. Click the System Restore tab.
4. Check "Turn off System Restore".
5. Click Apply.
6. When turning off System Restore, the existing restore points will be deleted. Click Yes to do this.
7. Click OK.
- Windows Vista:
1. Click Start.
2. Right-click the Computer icon, and then click Properties.
3. Click on System Protection under the Tasks column on the left side
4. Click on Continue on the "User Account Control" window that pops up
5. Under the System Protection tab, find Available Disks
6. Uncheck the box for any drive you wish to disable system restore on (in most cases, drive "C:")
7. When turning off System Restore, the existing restore points will be deleted. Click "Turn System Restore Off" on the popup window to do this.
8. Click OK

3. Restart computer.

4. Turn System Restore on.

5. Download, and install free ThreatFire: http://www.threatfire.com/, which will give you real-time protection against malwares.
It won't interfere with your antivirus, nor firewall.

6. Let me know, how your computer is doing.

I will do that, but whats the difference between CC slim and the normal version that I already have?
When I went to install Threatfire, my Avast! detected a trojan in the program....You can run your CCleaner, since you have it already.
Disregard Avast warning. It's oversensitive in this case.OK, done....
With Threatfire, Avast, ect running, is it necessary to have Spyware Terminator real time shield running as well?It won't hurt...
How is your computer doing?Its running pretty well, a *censored* of alot better then when I had the trojan thats for sure, first time I have got one in about 4 years, I'm normally good at staying away from those....Stay that way.
Good luck
