    What security software are you using and does it have a quarantine/virus chest? if so check that area for the renamed trojan.

    bayfraud, is a phishing ebay account trojan.. doesnt do much other harm iirc, but it would be well worth as you say your PC is "screwed up" to go through this guide.........



    Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support

    Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.

    - Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.


    After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below link to properly use HijackThis and attach a log:

    Downloading, Installing, and Running HijackThis


    When you return to make your next post, make sure you attach the following logs and that you have run these scans in the following order too (these scans are covered in steps 6 & 7 of the READ & RUN ME sticky)
    • Bitdefender
    • Panda Scan
    • HijackThis

    quick note: did not get this from ebay. It was sent thru email by a yahoo group. I am not saying which one, nor what type, because i do not a bunch of people running over there to get affected like I did. This a very dangerous group, I was investigating them for unscrupulous activity and now I can't get this off my pc.

    Will try what you suggest, thank you very much for your help. Will be back with the results soon.

    what security software are you using?


    Yes I would complete the guide, if stuck on a step or cannot run it, skip that one and move onto the next but do run as many steps as possible, then attach the requested logs as per the guide, so that one of our Malware specalists can give it a check.
