How do I delete a file, I was just hit by a virus??

Question

75.33.69[1].htm
That's the file PC-cillin tells me to delete but I don't know where it is located.

I was hit by this virus: JS DLOADER.NUF

And I am supposed to delete the file cause the virus couldn't be quarantined.

Answer 1

The FUD &/or MISinformation above can be MORE dangerous than the programs it disses & advocates. So make up your own mind about it.

Run this:

http://support.f-secure.com/enu/home/ols.shtml

It'll get that file for you.

If PC-Cillin doesn't have the option to delete the file or heal it, you need to DUMP the thing!

I use Avast AV with GREAT results! It gives SUPER Real Time protection, looks in a LOT of places AVG doesn't and updates almost constantly. I have mine set to update each time I boot up every day and then every 4 hours thereafter. I back it up with that link I gave you. Who wants to depend upon ONLY _ONE_ AV database, anyway???

I have used Ad-Aware se Personal ever since it came out. A SUPER companion to that is Spybot Search & Destroy (I also used that since it came out). Again, why rely on only ONE database for protection. And SS&D does a LOT more in it's Advanced Mode than you can shake a stick at! Tea Timer in Tools is INVALUABLE to help guard against unwanted registry changes. You can also use SS&D to "Lock" your Home Page against Hijackers. There's a MYRIAD of things that SS&D is good for!!!!! I've had GREAT luck with BOTH progs!!!!!!!!

If you want these progs go here to get them:

Avast!

SS&D

http://www.safer-networking.org/

Ad-Aware se Personal

http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=adaware

go to the bottom of the list and get:

Ad-aware 6.1 (2 MB)

After installation UPDATE (Immunize SS&D after updating)and Run them all. NOTE: I run SS&D first and then the A-A.

I hope this helps. I've always had GREAT luck with this combo, myself. Good Luck!!!

Answer 2

Pc-cillin as to be really bad, because my antivirus program destroys the entire file if a virus was found. I never had one, but I know my program will destroy the entire file from your system.

The job of your antivirus is to quarantine the file with the virus, not for you to find the file and quarnatine.

Get smart and get yourself a new antivirus program that works.

I use wht the Government of China uses. Beijing, China. You pay only a one time fee for life of $29.99 and you get all automatic updates and all new versions for life. Plus has an excellent background scanner with technology that is light years ahead of any other antivirus program known to man.

Answer 5

Hello there,
Sorry to hear that you are having problems. You might try these ONE by ONE and see what happens.

First and foremost, these are MY opinions and have experience several machines that had these on them,
as well as users using these product. Not to mention that I have ran each and every one of these myself
so as to not confuse those that think that I have not.
My findings in these products are useless and sometimes scare the normal user.
Also, these products are not for the normal user as normal user do not take the time to read the
manuals/docs for what they download and or buy, they just want to install and use.



Stop using the following software:
-- AVG --
-Avg has been known to report false positives, also reports "tracking cookies" as "Trojan downloaders".
This is bad practice to me, scaring the user half to death because that's all that we hear on the news
anymore is about Trojans, Worms and Virus'
-Maybe free, but be aware that this product is not the normal product that you would put on a machine.
Most if not all of your experts will tell you to leave this alone, avoid it like the plaque

-- Ad Aware SE --
-Ad Aware is a dangerous program if you do not know how to set it up, although it comes with the basic
'normal' user settings, those that go messing about will find after changing the settings, will remove
things from the Windows System and then be stuck in a bad situation.

-- Spybot Search and Destroy --
-Same as Ad Aware Se

-- Ewido --
-Made By AVG NOW, although AVG (Grisoft) bought them out or merged (which ever you avgt fanatics prefer)
this product does the same as their software (av) and scares the user (see above AVG)

-- McAfee --
-System Hog. Although this product is and has been around for decades, it still isn't that great of a
product as it eats up resources like a hungry dog.

-- Housecalls --
-Not a bad product, but installs while online and no option(s) to UNinstall it.

-- Trendmicro --
-Not a bad product, but installs while online and no option(s) to UNinstall it.

-- Panda --
-Not a bad product, but installs while online and no option(s) to UNinstall it.

-- Norton --
-System Hog. Although this product is and has been around for decades, it still isn't that great of a
product as it eats up resources like a hungry dog.
-Also this product has to use it's own UNinstaller to get rid of it, even if you take it out of Add Remove
and reboot your system, this pain in the **** software prompts the user to reinstall or it auto does it

-- eTrust --
-Now owned by CA MS used to ship this with it's Feb 2004 Security Update CD set. ( I know I have it ) and what
a load of rubbish.

-- Kaspersky --
-Maybe free, but be aware that this product is not the normal product that you would put on a machine.
Most if not all of your experts will tell you to leave this alone, avoid it like the plaque


Decent programs to install and use
