TR/Dldr.Startpage

Hello Forum,

I have been using the excellent AntiVir version 6 from majorgeeks.com website for a few weeks now and it keeps picking up a virus called Tr/Dldr.Startpage.

I delete it or quarentine it every time AntiVir finds it, but everytime I scan its there again. It doesn't seem to have adversly affected my PC as far as I can tell, but I am a bit concerned that it is there evreytime. Is there a way of finding out where it is coming from, so that it doesn't come back?

Has anyone else encountered this virus?

Thanks very much in advance for you help.

 

Hi again,

I have updated AntiVir and it still keeps on picking up the same virus a Trojan called Dldr.Startpage. It says that it has infected a .BIN file or a .dll file the most recent one was called IFGDC.DLL.

any ideas why it keeps coming back?

 

Thanks xflat I'll try that and let you know the result.

Many Thanks

 

Right....

I turned off system restore and then did another virus scan. It came back with no virus detected . Now I have restarted once or twice since doing this, and I have the AntiVir Guard constantly running too and its been ok until about five minutes ago when I opened Outlook Express and immediately I get the warning that TR/Dldr.Startpage is back in two different locations :-

7/13/2004,22:30:15 WARNING: The Trojan horse TR/Dldr.Startpage!
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\FRANK\LOCAL SETTINGS\TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES\CONTENT.IE5\0J4BQPSN\M[1].BIN
File has been deleted!
7/13/2004,22:30:23 WARNING: The Trojan horse TR/Dldr.Startpage!
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\HJCFI.DLL
File has been deleted!

I did not open any emails or infact have any new ones arrive, so is it just coincidence that they came at the same time that I opened Outlook?

 

I've tried restarting in safe mode and running scans but the virus is still there, I'm am getting desparate

 

Thanks Chaslang,

Should I do what you suggested when in safe mode? or with system restore off etc.? I'm not sure if that will help as I have used CCleaner and HD Cleaner to remove such content recently too and have safexp installed whih is set to delete temp internet files.

I am using XP pro

 

Thanks for the info.

I tried this one:-

It made Explorer crash each time I tried to download it...

This one :-

detected no virus

 

Hi,

I tried going to the windows update site but it said:

''Network policy settings prevent you from using Windows Update to download and install updates on your computer.

If you believe you have received this message in error, please check with your system administrator.

You can also get online support if you are having problems with Windows Update.''

How do I make it so I am allowed to update myself?

regards

Stewart

 

Thanks Chaslang,

I have just found out why I could not do the windows update. I had a box ticked in the safexp program that prevented updates.
Anyway I have done most of the updates, but not the service packs. I hear that if your copy of xp is not legitimate that downloading the service pack screws up the os.

Is that true?

 

hi all

i think i have the same problem that stewart is strugling with

i did wtever i could and i think ma final solution is to format ma whole pc

hi stewart

go to

C:\WINDOWS\Temp

and if u found any thing just delete it

i think that will solve the problem

 

I am having the same problem, seems i cant get rid of that one. It deletes it and yet it keeps coming back. Any real solutions to perma get rid of it ?
