Need help with a torrent related trojan :(

(1/6) > >>

Smiffe:
Hello everybody!

I really need help to fix this trojan.. my NOD32 says it's "a variant of WMA/trojanDownloader.getcodec.gen trojan" in any video torrent file i download from any torrent site  :'(
Ive tried Spywaredoctor, maleware anti-malware program, using google to find where other people have gotten rid of the same trojan...

But non has helped since it isn't the same trojan as everyone else has :(
Mine doesn't infect files I already have downloaded, it doesn't infect MP3 files as seem to be the biggest problem with this trojan.  :-\

It might be a conflicer trojan/virus of some sort but I can't find how to get rid of it >_<

please help :(

Icky. You're downloading WMA and WMV files probably. Those are usually riddled with spyware and other nasties. The trojan you're refering to is that when you download the file, when opening it up the player (usually wmp) will say you cannot play the file unless you go to a site to download the proper "codecs". Which is just a scam.

I highly doubt there is proper audio/video in the file you downloaded in the first place.

Download a proper format. Usually there are .avi, .mkv and .mp4 for video and .mp3 or .flaac or .ogg for audio.

Do you mean the different torrent files that you download from different torrent sites are the same? i.e. you are trying to get fansub group X's files from sites A, B, or C, and all of them give you the same trojan?

Or do you mean you're downloading fansub group X's files from site A, and group Y's files from site B, and group Z's files from site C, and all of them give you the same trojan, and all the files are of different formats, which may or may not include WMV/WMA?

Actually i tried to download a MKV file from a torrent tracker ive never seen before, but oh well :/

I get the problem even from BakaBT when I try to download from here.. MP3 files are no problem, but MKV files get infected after a few seconds in uTorrent.. (uninstalled, scanned, rebooted, reinstalled.. still same problem) And I try to play with VLC so I don't click those stupid lies on Windows Media Player about codecs.....

The file I tried to download was a Wma file, I ran the file, it didn't work.. then i deleted it and now all my downloads don't work (mkv, wma, avi) :(

Blanchimont:
Get this and run it on few of the files (with crc included in the name).

If they pass, it's NOD32 that's wrong. ...But if the result doesn't match the crc in the filename, then you probably have something bad...
