After a heavy attack by Trojan.Virtumonde, I was finally able to get rid of
it.

Now, I am looking for a way to get rid of Trojan- Downloader .Injecter.

Any positive suggestions welcomed. This is killing me.

Thanks in Advance, Jim

BTW, purchased and ran a popular software "fix" for the Trojans. I found
out the hard way that it was leaving one Trojan on my system, so I'd always
need them.

Christ, Jim. What kind of sites do you frequuent anyway? Oh well, what
I would suggest is to download a trial version of "Trojan Remover" and
run it. If it removes it, great. If not, email the software author as
he is always willing to assist and is quite competent at resolving
such issues. Hope this helps. Here's the url.

How? What was used to do this? How did you know which malware was
present in your system?

What had you purchased?

What is your present exact OS?

What antimalware products are you using now?

Is your system up to date with all current patches?

How old is your most recent & complete backup?

Kaspersky® Virus Removal Tool

NOTE:
The above mentioned applications are not capable for real-time protection
of your computer; They are on-demand scanners.

Kaspersky® Virus Removal Tool has no update feature (so it don't turn into
a full blown scanner). As soon as your computer is cleaned you are supposed
to remove this tool from your operating system and revert back to your
(updated) resident (real-time) AV application.
To uninstall/move this program 'enable self-defense' must be unchecked!

To scan your computer with the most up-to-date Kaspersky® AVPTool databases
next time you should download a new Kaspersky® AVPTool package.

Keep MBAM and SAS installed and use them as 'second-opinion' scanner which
is purposely (by design) recommended by their respective authors.

After the software is updated, it is suggested scanning the system in Safe
Mode (this does not apply to MBAM).
"Malwarebytes actually performs better in Normal Mode" says Dustin Cook,
co-author of MBAM.
How do you boot to Safe Mode?
By pressing/tabbing F8 (or F5 on some keyboards) during re-boot.

Hi Bill. Give me a break....I have had no virus problems since 2007 and
none between 2002 and 2007. So, two viruses in six years isn't that bad an
average.

As for the last site that I was on before I was dropped into this dungeon of
death, I'll tell you if only to keep you from making the same mistake.

I like movies when I have the time to see them. Now, everyone has a
favorite, and that's fine, and I like Roger Ebert's reviews. The quickest
way for me to get there is to go to Google.com and enter " review Ebert
[movie title] ". If Ebert gives it a thumb's up, I give the movie a shot.
I've done this at least 100 times without a problem. This was about 6 pm on
Saturday.

In this case, the movie was "The Secret," which was released in 2007. I was
clueless. So, I went to Google and entered " review Ebert The Secret ".
I hit "Enter," and was immediately blindsided by a zillion pop-ups,
re-directs, adware, spyware, viruses and a few additional trojans tossed in.

I've been trying to rescue myself ever since...no kidding.

All I can figure is that someone out there really either didn't like the
review or didn't like the movie. I don't know, because I didn't give it a
try a second time.

But, I remember that you helped me out of my last attack back in
2007....and, I still thank you for that. jim
