    Hi everyone,

    I have a problem I need to resolve. I recently bought a laptop and I have been having some issues lately.
    I recently installed a free online version of Ad-Aware 9.6.0 on Windows 7 Home Premium computer. After complete scan of my computer, it was revealed that a trojan was found. The name of the trojan is Trojan.Win32.Generic!BT. Ad-Aware successfully resolved (I guess it deleted them) the files infected by the virus except one which has been quarantined. I believe the file directory is: c:\programdata\syslogger\core32_175.dll.

    Now, I get a dll notice after I have logged onto to my computer which says:

    System errors:
    There was a problem starting C:\ProgramData\SysLogger\core32_175.dll
    The specified module cannot be found.


    Now, I want to know if following the actions taken by Ad-Aware the virus has been removed from my computer, or if it has merely been confined to that sole syslogger file. Also, I want to know if I should attempt to delete the said file.


    Finally, I would like to know if there is a way to completely get rid of the trojan.


    Thanks to you all,


    Your help is appreciated.

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

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

    Please 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.

    I just told you what to do. What's wrong with the above instructions that you cannot follow them? :confused Check out other threads as to how we deal with removing malware. People run our scans and post logs for us to review. Without those logs I have no IDEA what is going on for you!!
