trojan horse IRC/BackDoor.SdBot4.GYM (help me please)

leetwebster · Dec 4, 2008

Hello,

Could someone please help remove this virus from my computer?

My OS is XP.

I use a free version of AVG 8.

When I start my computer AVG detects the following virus:

trojan horse IRC/BackDoor.SdBot4.GYM

I ran a full scan in safe mode but the virus comes back whenever I restart.

My computer is running slower than usual.

I will appreciate it if anyone can help me, please reply with easy step by step instructions, I'm very new to this.

Thanks, Lee.

Welcome to Major Geeks!

Please follow the instructions in the below link 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.

READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide

Notes:

If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode. You can running 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:

Starting your computer in Safe mode

If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools on another PC and 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.
