vcmon.exe virus help please?

Question

This file will not go away and I can't find it anywhere on my pc yet it is in task manager, whenever I end process it just comes back straightaway. My firewall keeps stopping it form connecting it to the interent.
I have got rid of a trojan that I had and it was still there so I went into safe mode and got rid of system restore then did a full virus scan in safe mode but found nothing. I am using avast and zone alram.
Help please?

I got rid of the trojan but hte file vcmon.exe was still there sorry I didn't make that clear

Sarah C that was a pretty patronising answer did you even read the whole of my question?

vcmon is part of a trojan called Tilebot.
vsmon is a program associated with zonealarm

Answer 2

I suggest that you try to carryout system restore to a day previous to the day when there was no virus or any problems. It may be a few weeks or months back. You have to decide the date. Detailed instructions are posted at http://fixit.in/systemrestore.html
The problem is likely to be solved. Then,You insatll a standard antivirus soft ware such as Norton, AVG , Avast ( free antivirus software and Ad-aware, Ewido ( free spyware removers). You can download free softwares at
http://fixit.in/antivirus.html and http://fixit.in/spywareremover.html

Answer 3

Is the virus named on the application list of your firewall log? If it is attempt to delete it there. When it deletes go to safe mode, and go to START-search-files & folders-type in .exe (or vcmon.exe) for the date of Dec. 14th, 2006 (go to files created on) the file name will pop up there. Delete it again if it shows up on the file & folders log.

Shut down safe mode, come back on the way you do normally. Search for it again, if you can't find it. Then it's gone. Remember to empty your bin. :-D

Answer 4

Answer 5

Look,,, not all antiviruses detect all viruses,,, I got the same problem,, with another trojan which generate an .exe file named Exmodul32f.i.exe,,,, AVG did not recognize it ,,, but bitdefender recognize it,, and I choose the option to delete the infected files,, however,, the excuted program remains on action for several days,,and I deleted them manually,,, they most often in the temporary file folder,,, you have to make all folders and files not hidden to reach this folder,,, you have to scan several times,, to ensure complete clear of your pc

Answer 6

That might not be a virus at all. Still, there is another free anti-virus, AOL Active Virus Shield, which has a better detection rate than Avast. You could try it. :-)

Answer 7

Delete vcmon.exe from your pc, which probably lies in C://windows/system32
If you can not delete it delete it from safe mode. To boot in safe mode restart computer and press F8 before it restarts.

Then delete all occurence of vcmon.exe from regestry. To do it press start menu>Run then write regedit.exe and press enter.

Then serach for vcmon.exe and delete if you find any result. Then search again and delete untill search produces no more result.

Answer 8

I thought vcmon had something to do with either zonealarm or norton?
