Spyware.CyberLog-X Spyware Trojan Help!

FZSilver · 10-14-2007, 06:06 PM

I think its called Spyware.CyberLog-X. It pops up on the tray icons on the bottom right hand of the screen. Every 30 seconds or so I will get a message that says "Your computer is infected, Download the antispyware software here" Which is from the trojan. I ran highjackthis and deleted everything that came up and it still is happening. Is there a certain file I need to look for? Thanks for any help.

Um, I was able to get rid of it by going into safe mode then restoring to an older date. Can a mod please delete this?

I remember you posting that? Were you not able to get rid of it?

Nope, i couldn't find all the files that someone had listed.

It hasn't gotten any worse, kinda living with it now till I can get a new computer. This one is about 4yrs old and could use an upgrade, but I would like to fix it as it make the computer run really slow sometimes.

Thanks for the steps Fast, I couldn't even do the first step because the trojan was disabling it but I was finally able to get rid of it. I though I would post it for Rascus incase he wanted to try it.

First I DL'ed CCleaner. This get rid of temperary files that the trojan is hiding in.
Then I DL'ed SuperAntiSpyware.

Went into safe mode and ran both of the programs. So far its been good for about a day with nothing registering in hijack this.
