    Hey-

    Have you guys heard of the eyeveg.m Trojan? Any ideas on how to get rid of it? It embedded .zip files in a folder that doesn't exist and it's taking up a Gig of space in a MyDoc/admin/complete file that doesn't exist even under local docs.

    Windows Antivirus and McAffee isn't cleaning it. It's sees them, but won't get rid of them.

    This is on my nephews brand new custom-built computer:
    3800 AMD 64 Athlon

    My nephew has searched for the complete folder and the computer doesn't find it nor any .zip files, but when his anti-virus runs, it finds over 11,000 of the .zip files that are infected by this Trojan.

    He's not finding anything on the 'net about this virus - about how to get rid of it.

    He's going to sign up and he'll be watching this thread.

    Thanks all!!
    Shel

    If you still have problems after running all the steps in the link Halo gave you then follow the steps below. Note only you will be able to post in this thread. Your nephew will not have access to post in this thread.


    After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps below:

    - Download HijackThis 1.99.1

    - Unzip the hijackthis.exe file to a folder you create named C:\Program Files\HJT

    - Do NOT run Hijack This from the Desktop, a temp folder, or a sub-folder of C:\Documents and Settings, or choose to run it directly from the downloaded ZIP file.

    - Before running HijackThis: You must close each of the following:your web browser, e-mail client, instant messenger, and programs like notepad, wordpad, MS Word etc. And any other unnecessary running programs.

    - Run HijackThis and save your log file.

    - Post your log as an ATTACHMENT to your next message. (Do NOT copy/paste the log into your post).
