Just imagine trembling strings, growling trombones, and the late Don LaFontaine saying it.
Using Ad-aware, scanned a friend's computer since it was running slowly; I suspected it was probably infected with something. The scan turned up that trojan virus. I also ran it in Safe Mode to make sure it wasn't still there. Came clean, so I restarted the computer in Normal Mode.
Cut to a couple months later and I'm back, and the computer is running slow again, so I run Ad-aware (not in Safe Mode a second time, as before) and there's the Trojan.Win32.Generic!BT back, again!
I tried an internet search to see if anybody had the problem of it returning, using a couple keywords like "reinstalled", but didn't find anything.
He uses the computer for online banking, BestBuy, e-mail primarily -- doesn't even know how to download an attachment; doesn't do porn. He not downloading anything and rarely uses it. I am knowledgable and don't fall for the common tricks, and I'm also not downloading anything, so I'm thinking Ad-aware didn't get it and there is still some kind of file or something lurking in the computer.
How the hell do I get rid of this gorram SOB?
