Need help with a torrent related trojan :(

[Smiffe]

You guys really are to Format-to-fix-every-problem fixated :O
IF! I where to format all my drives that I had connected when I got the trojan would mean I would have to format over 12TB anime.. Tho since I know the trojan lurks on C: disc and in the windows registry I don't have to format that much...

What I NEED is a cleaner program tho =(

You got some bandwith and money to download and store 12TB of anime. Anyway check your inbox. That should fix all your problems.

Or, like i said, get Norton 360 for "cheap". I can PM you a link if you need.

Somehow, I wouldn't trust a pirated version of an anti-virus.

Not really. Personally I've never formatted any of my Windows computers before. I'm just saying, that's the last-resort solution that you should turn to if you're wasting too much time on it.

But if the trojan is infecting all your video files, you're gonna have trouble getting rid of it if AV programs don't work. Or is it just new stuff that get problems, and stuff that's already sitting there is fine?

Problem solved

Eset Nod32 just updated an hour ago. Found the trojan ( Conflicker 2010 something something ) and erased it!

BTW: Neither Kaspersky, Norton, Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, Ad-Aware did find the trojan either...

So submitting file for analyse and wait for update was the only thing I could do :/

Once I encountered a new version of some trojan that Kaspersky could not detect properly. I sent it to their support service, and it was included in the signature list in several hours. Thus, sending suspicious files for analysis does help a lot.

ESET NOD32, good choice! ;; I use that because it detects all keyloggers and such that attach to mabinogi :/

Hmm, so I wonder, do you still have problems with corrupt video files?

And somehow, i would never pay for any software. And many people i know uses pirated versions of AV without any probs. The AVs are very loyal even when pirated. You can also use their "One-click support" feature and they won't know you have a pirated copy.

@Smiffe.  Could you tell the exact name of the virus? I should report it to norton so i don't get affected by it.

You don't know of any problems, which is quite a different thing than not having any.

Personally, I'd prefer to use only open-source software, checksummed against official hashes and with releases signed by the developer's public key.  Unfortunately, that's not going to happen if I want to get anything done, but my point still stands that running binaries that you know to be modified by shady sources with whom you have no legal recourse against is a Bad Idea(tm).
