    I know you guys might be getting sick of me (maybe). My second computer seems pretty well cleaned. BUT, downloader-kl is still on the system. It isn't creating that many problems except slowing performance down (esp. on opening new browser windows). I don't know how many pop ups it's generating because I got a pop up stopper recently. I can't seem to find how to remove it from the system. I did a Google search and came up with zilch. Even running all the suggested programs hasn't got rid of the critter - how do you manually get rid of it? (Windows 2000 system)

    :confused:

    Couple things you can try, any one should work :) Luckily, its a low risk trojan:

    http://hq.mcafeeasap.com/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=126091
    http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_126091.htm

    This downloader trojan is intended to download and execute remote file(s). The URL to the remote file(s) is stored in the resources of the downloader.

    When executed the trojan attempts to download the remote file via HTTP. Testing thus far suggests that the method this trojan uses for the download may well bypass any personal firewall software - the HTTP traffic is associated with SERVICES.EXE (legitimate system process, typically granted DNS incoming/outgoing in most personal firewall configurations).

    Administrators should block HTTP access to the following domain:

    static.callinghome.biz
    At the time of writing, the remote content was an installer for Adware-Searchcentrix application .
