    Hi, recently my computer has been having problems with random display problems (my entire screen will go black but my PC will still be on and start clicking every second or so, I think from the hard drive. It blacks out often during start up and occasionally after start up, as I'm surfing the internet or something). I ran a virus scan with AVG Free v9.0.722, with the most recent definitions, and it found two Trojan Horse Agent 2.BPB infections in my user downloads folder, wmv-splitter.exe and wmv-splitter.exe:\unwise0013.bin.

    However, when I tried removing them with AVG, it wouldn't do it, so I physically went into my downloads folder and permanently deleted wmv-splitter.exe.

    Will this be enough to remove the Trojan (I'm running another full scan now to see if it still exists or has moved somewhere else), and if not, what's the proper way to remove it? I believe this could be the cause of my random black out problems, so I'm very eager to fix it.

    Specifications:
    Compaq Presario SR5240AN Desktop PC
    OS: Windows Windows Vista Home Premium
    Version: 6.0.6002 Service Pack 2 Build 6002

    Let me know if you need/want any more information.

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    It really sounds more like you are having hardware problems not malware problems which means you would be better off posting in the Hardware Forum. However if you wish to check your PC for malware, follow the instructions below.


    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.
