    Just got connected to the internet the other day and i think I may of had a Trojan or two laying dormant on my system. I let a friend borrow my computer and she just infested it. So I have went through it and cleaned a lot of stuff off before I got connected to the internet. I have done this many times for myself and friends but I have never found one so tough. I keep getting a pop up from my McAfee saying it removed a the Trojan Artemis. What is the next question or step I need to do?

    When I'm in Firefox browsing through E-bay or any other site another tab with some weird site name pops up. This is ridiculous :mad:mad:mad

    update

    Here is what I've done so far. Ran cc-cleaner, malwarebytes, spy-bot, HJT, and removed all unnecessary files and junk. McAfee Stills gives me a pop up saying it found a Artemis. Whatever it is it is writing new folders to my windows/temp folder and setting Mcafee off. Please someone help. if I had my XP CD I would just reformat and be done But I don't so I have to fix it.

    I'm a D.A I know that I should search first. So it is a false positive. Well should I check the don't show again bubble?

    OK I'm infected and cant boot into safe mode so instead of reformatting which i cant, I have to fix it. I will be uninstalling everything that does not need to be on my computer. This is what Avira has found TR/Crypt.ULPM.Gen

    Or... how about following through this thoroughly and in order. :)

    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 other 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.
