    Hi, i have only noticed this problem in the past week or so, but i think its been around for a few months now due to finding it in an old file.

    I am computer savvy but not very clued up about malware etc, my problem is Backdoor.IRCBot

    I create software as a hobby which i use on my computer and my laptop, i use Click Teams install creator to make the installation files. I have noticed recently that some of my installation files are infected with Backdoor.IRCBot.

    I used this website - Virus Total which only 5 of 43 AV shows as an issue. This is annoying because i cant remove it :(

    Symantec says its not a bad virus - Click Me But its a virus nonetheless, and i want to distribute my software virus free

    Please Help, i have no idea how to remove it, ive scanned my PC with AVG, MS SE, Avast, Kaspersky, Trend Micro and COMODO :p But they cannot remove it, (only kaspersky finds the viruses in my installation files but not the root of the problem)

    On many occasions i delete the installation files and recreate new ones, but straight away they are infected. I dont think Install Creator is the issue, i removed it totally, and its a very reputable piece of software. I need to find this virus at its source and kill it; but how?

    PS: I do not have more than one AV installed at any given time, i default with MS SE, but needed to use others to scan temporarily
    PPS: My computer is something i really look after, nothing is installed i dont know of, i use CCleaner regularly also
    PPPS: To try and solve this issue i totally uninstalled Java and Flash as i know these are common problems

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    Please read ALL of this message including the notes before doing anything.

    Pleases follow the instructions in the below link:

    READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide


    and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.

    • **** If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going. ****
    • Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not. MGtools will frequently run even when all other tools will not.


    • After completing the READ & RUN ME and attaching your logs, make sure that you tell us what problems still remain ( if any still do )!
    Helpful Notes:


    1. If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode, you can run the steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:

    2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools and the manual updates for SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes ( links are given in the READ & RUN ME) onto another PC and then burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.
    3. If you cannot seem to login to an infected user account, try using a different user account (if you have one) in either normal or safe boot mode and running only SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes while logged into this aother user account. Then reboot and see if you can log into the problem user account. If you can then run SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes, ComboFix and MGtools on the infected account as requested in the instructions.
    4. To avoid additional delay in getting a response, it is strongly advised that after completing the READ & RUN ME you also read this sticky:

    Any additional post is a bump which will add more delay. Once you attach the logs, your thread will be in the work queue and as stated our system works the oldest threads FIRST.

    Thanks for your reply :)

    Following from posting the thread op i downloaded malwarebytes and superantivirus etc. I already had deinstalled all flash and java objects, and use CCleaner for months every day. I have the 64bit version of Win7 and have disabled Daemon Tools. I am running MS SE alone but have this week alternated to try and fix my issue (didnt work, so reverted back to MS SE)

    I also followed the cleaning procedure

    SUPERAntiSpyware (Found 8 items, but these were Trojan.VXGame i wasnt aware i had

    Malwarebytes found nothing, so i am still left with Backdoor.IRCBot('s?)

    Thanks for following up!

    Ive attached the requested logs

    Also i just remembered, a few weeks ago when i turned on my pc i had a Windows Genuine alert, which after reading this - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backdoor.Win32.IRCBot

    I think is how i got this virus

    Problem is, not a single virus scanner is finding it anywhere on my computer, yet i know its here because when i create installation files for my own software the virus is in them
