Help - Trojan Horse, and Not the Kind One Wants!

March 9, 2007 / by whereabouts

It appears I have a trojan horse or some kind of virus that is utilizing my isp through my home network but none of the protection software I have is picking this bad boy up. The McAfee emproxy.exe file is moving nonstop when I allow my wireless connection on and obviously slows my computer down. Norton hasn't found it, Mcafee hasn't either.

Can someone offer me a suggestion as to how to locate and isolate this puppy so I can TERMINATE it.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    ok....

    Have you gone into ctrl-alt-del to see what programs are running? If you see a file you don't recognize -- google it...that is the fastest way to isolate a memory resident file -- then you must go into msconfig and disable it.

    Does that help?

    Thanks, Mel. I went through all the files but it is not registering with exception to one that will not let me endthe process and I suspect that is the one. The thing is using my isp to send emails (not through me but through another site).

    you want to go into msconfig (start, run, type msconfig) See if it is in the start up list, if so disable it -- then reboot -- it should not load again. Then you need to track it down and delete it.

    Thanks, Mel! I will see if it is there.
