    Win32/GenericA potential problem?

    Hi expert friends!

    For the past two days, my computer tells me that Windows Defender has identified some virus/Trojan Horse called Win32/GenericA in my computer. I have removed it as per instructions yesterday, but it seems to have re-appeared today -- I have also removed it today. Can this be a potential (serious) problems and, if so, could you please tell me how to remove it safely and -- more importantly -- permanently?

    Many thanks.

    Thanks for your usual prompt reply Neal

    As per your instructions, I have downloaded the Malware software and ran the application, making sure the checkmarks were all in place.

    And...

    This is what I got:

    ???

    Could I have omitted one or more operations while installing the software?

    Should I do a FULL scan instead?

    Please advise. Thank you.


    Update: I just did a full scan, with the same result

    Yes do a full scan and...



    Spybot S&D (Teatimer)

    1. Run Spybot-S&D in Advanced Mode.
    2. If it is not already set to do this Go to the Mode menu select "Advanced Mode"
    3. On the left hand side, Click on Tools
    4. Then click on the Resident Icon in the List
    5. Uncheck "Resident TeaTimer" and OK any prompts.
    6. Restart your computer.

    When disabled, please download ResetTeaTimer.bat
    Double-click ResetTeaTimer.bat to remove all entries set by TeaTimer. This is done so it can be re-enabled without problems after cleaning.


    New hijackthis log also. Thanks.

    Thank you Neal. A few questions: When you say 'When disabled', what exactly do you mean? And by 'all entries set by TeaTimer', you mean all entries identified by that software once it has finished its test of the system? And, lastly, I should double click... what? lol. Sorry if the questions seem of the basic variety, but when it comes to computers, my less than extensive knowledge cannot be trusted. :-D

    'When disabled', what exactly do you mean?
    When teatimer is disabled is what is meant by disabled

    And by 'all entries set by TeaTimer', you mean all entries identified by that software once it has finished its test of the system?
    The .bat will remove all things teatimer has done to protect your system and when it is re-enabled it will restore those items of protection just like it was before. Some folks have been having problems with teatimer being re-enabled if old entries are not deleted. The .bat fixes that problem.


    And, lastly, I should double click... what? lol.
    Double-click ResetTeaTimer.bat after it is downloaded and teatimer is disabled and after your system is clean.

    Neal:

    1. Run Spybot-S&D in Advanced Mode.
    2. If it is not already set to do this Go to the Mode menu select "Advanced Mode"
    3. On the left hand side, Click on Tools
    4. Then click on the Resident Icon in the List
    5. Uncheck "Resident TeaTimer" and OK any prompts.
    6. Restart your computer.

    I have executed the above instructions, except that I couldn't find any prompts that I could have OKd

    I then (probably mistakenly) clicked on the Archive Log icon because I didn't want to lose the list generated after I unchecked the 'Resident TeaTimer'. This had the unexpected effect of clearing the list so there is now a blank box where the info used to be...

    I used the Archive Log (I figured I would at least get SOME KIND of prompt after clicking on the Archive Log icon, but was mistaken) after trying to download the ResetTeaTimer.bat file and getting the following boxed message:

    C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe

    Unsupported version

    So... I am assuming that the download failed.

    Any other suggestions?

    Thank you

    Could my problem simply be a false positive?

    Let's do a little cleaning in hijackthis now and after that tell me what is going on. It looks good from this end.



    Run hijackthis and click on "scan system only" button and put checks next to these:


    R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = about:blank
    R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant =
    R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,CustomizeSearch =
    R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar,LinksFolderName =

    O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {7FEBEFE3-6B19-4349-98D2-FFB09D4B49CA} - (no file)



    Please close ALL browser windows (including this one).

    Everything closed out but hijackthis and click on "fix checked"


    Reboot your PC



    Update Java: Security Issue

    * Go to Start > Control Panel double-click on the Software icon > add/remove programs.
    * Search in the list for all previous installed versions of Java. (J2SE Runtime Environment.... )

    It should have next icon next to it:
    Select it and click Remove.
    * The current version can be downloaded from Sun here: http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp Scroll down the page to 'Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6u5 and press the 'Download' button. On the new web page, click the 'Accept License Agreement' button. Then select 'Windows Offline Installation, Multi-language' in the Windows Platform area just below the Accept button.


    How is it going now?
