Expert: Lorry - 3/27/2009

Question
I have a Infected Laptop with some Trojan
McAfee v8.5 with most up-to-date def (5565.0000)detects the Lando Trojan in Setup_U.exe every time I do a search on google with IE.

MaAfee removes the Lando Trojan but every time I do a google search it detects the trojan again.

I did a full system scan and also tried Lavasoft adaware but nothing gets detected.

Answer
Hi David,

As each AV program uses different names for the same threat, I would suggest using Internet Explorer, and go to:

http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/WelcomePage.asp

Click "Continue to Symantec Security Check", in the next window click No when asked if you want to close this window, that will bring you to a window where you should click Virus Detection.

Write down exactly anything it finds, then go to: http://www.symantec.com/search/  and do a search for what was found. Symantec usually has a removal tool and/or directions for removing manually. Make sure that you follow the instructions for removal, step by step, especially the part regarding disabling System Restore.

I would also suggest downloading Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.6.2, available for free from:

http://download.cnet.com/Spybot-Search-amp-Destroy/3000-8022_4-10122137.html

Check for updates before running Spybot, as a free program, you have to do some things manually.

Hope this helps!
