How do I get rid of a Trojan from my computer?

Question

Okay I have tried a few things to delete the Trojan, but I failed. I even looked at other questions on Yahoo! answers and the all seem to failed. I tried Smitfraud Fix, Spyware Sledgehammer, and my antivirus (Symantec Antivirus. Which I thought it deleted the trojan in safe mode, but it didn't).

I believe the trojan is called: Trojan.CachecacheKit

Someone Please Help!!!!!

Trojan virus is very hard to get rid of. Yes, you could reformat your entire computer but with computer viruses they will reproduce themselves into other parts of your hard drive and you will still have a problem. It is always good to have the most up to date virus protection system on your system, update it regularly so the anitvirus has the lastest knowledge of new viruses so it can take care of them properly. Our computer tech at our job told us the only other options you may have are:
1.)To reformat your computer and turn off your system restore.. because sometimes when you restore your computer to a earlier time it will unlock the virus.
2.) If the reformat doesn't work. You'll have to buy a new computer.

I hope this helps..

Trojan.Cachecachekit is a device driver program that is used for hiding the existence of some predetermined files and it is dropped by W32.Spybot.NLX.
W32.Spybot.NLX is a worm that has distributed denial of service and back door capabilities.

From the details on symantec it looks like your xp has not been patched and the worm is exploiting the holes .

You have to reformat your whole computer but its worth loseing all of your programs and software. Or you can take it to geek squad at a local bestbuy. But they might talk about how bad you messed your computer up. How are you on the computer if u have a trojan???

Answer 6

you have to do a MBR boot scan. The trojan is on the cache memory so even though you scan your drives you are not cleaning out the cache aka RAM and CMOS these days, So even when you clean your system as soon as you reboot it's going to reinstall again.
