Re: Trojan.Agent, keeps showing up

Run the Hijackthis Scan, select only the following entries and click Fix. Then run a scan from Norton program in Safe mode once, restart the computer to normal mode and then check whether you still get any prompts.

Thank you Y_M, I will follow your instructions, one follow up question - For the Norton scan in Safe Mode, should I run full system scan or quick scan?

 

>>  I see that I can only perform a Full System Scan in Safe Mode

 

Also,  the Trojan.Agent virus is being captured by my MBAM scan, my Norton scans are all coming up clean.

Re: Trojan.Agent, keeps showing up

Hi Kwalker:

 

One more little check if you don't mind.  Please update your Malwarebytes again, go into safe mode, and run a full scan.

When that is completed, go back into normal mode, and scan again.  Please post both logs, and will get Y_M to have a look for comparison.  If the trojan agent keeps coming back, we have a whole other problem to deal with.

Under certain circumstances profanity provides relief denied even to prayer.

Re: Trojan.Agent, keeps showing up

Delphinium, dbrisendine, Stu, Quads & Y_M

 

I've solved my problem, the Trojan.Agent was not a virus but rather a file necessary to run an application I have on the desktop.  In the MBAM scan I have it now flagged as Ignore.  All is now working well and MBAM & Norton scans are clean.

 

A thousand thank yous for the help and patience in both cases.  I wish I had known to come here first when needing help. 

 

very grateful,
