Trojan horse Downloader.Dyfica.AB <====Need Help!!!

Hi
I have the Free Edition of Grisoft's AVG (6.0)
One day a window popped up saying...

AVG Resident Shield

Virus
Trojan horse Downloader.Dyfica.AB

is found in file
c:\System Volume Information\_restore{025B975b-4DEO-899E-8E330F2E4991}\RP139\A0046778.ocx

To remove this virus please run AVG for Windows

I have run AVG about 5 times after DL the update ( a complete scan of everything on my PC) and its detects NOTHING! is this Virus in something ive deleted? can it still harm my PC? Any tips on how to get rid of it?
Any Suggestions will be Appreciated

P.S That window pops up every 5 minutes or so it doenst just happen once

Go to c:\System Volume Information\_restore{025B975b-4DEO-899E-8E330F2E4991}\RP139\ on your computer and look for a file named A0046778.ocx. Provided it's not a hidden system file or something like that, if it's no longer there, then it's been deleted. I'd also check your recycle bin to make sure that it's not sitting there waiting to be accidentally restored. Another step I would recommend is checking Symantec's webiste for a removal tool. They may or may not have one, but the best way to be sure it's gone is to run something that was written to remove it.

Hey Guys!!

I had the same trojan and after trying all kinds of solutions I found it!!

Spybot is the answer go to www.Download.com and search for it there!!

AdAware is also very good from Lavasoft.

I use AdAware from Lavasoft and SpyBot S&D in tandem. I don't trust either one will often find that one will catch something the other didn't.

Hi-

I have AVG and the same thing happened to me while I tried removing the same Trojan. I discovered that AVG was confused with another anti-virus software program. So, I decided to remove the other program that was confused with AVG. AVG healed the Trojan and placed it into the vault. Therefore, I get no more repeated messages from C:\System Volume Information_Restore.

The same thing happened to me (not sure which virus). A virus was included in a system restore point. I don't remeber exactly how I fixed the problem. It seems like I had to disable system restore, reboot, delete restore points, enable system restore and reboot. Rescans with AVG were clean. I found the solution on Google groups.

Thanx heaps way2real your advice fixed my problem.

Hi everyone I am new here. I found this neat forum by doing a search on this Trojan Horse. I too have AVG and got "the" message. After reading about the System Restore solution I went to do it, but mine was already unchecked for some reason! I am only one who messses with the system stuff? Now what? I tried checking and unchecking, clicking ok and rebooting, then rebooted and tried to undo my last created restore point, but it said was not able to be performed or something like that! Is my only option taking it into a shop? Man, I can't wait for a few more months to get me a MAC, and never have to worry about a virus again, they only have one(easily prevented),and as a gamer,it will have everything I need a computer for without all the hassels of Windows security updates, spyware, adware and all the other"joys" of microsoft windows! Anyway, this looks like a great site site, and I sure hope someone has a clue what I can do, because I sure don't. Thanks in advance,Everyone Chris

Please disregard my previous post and believe me,I'm not always this careless! I've only had about 4 1/2 hours sleep last night, because I downloaded what I thought was such a cool wallpaper site"webshots",but when I got ready to turn in, my computer would not turn off or even restart! I had to disable it and do a System Restore then I defragged and ran scan disk,and spyhunter,and that was after 4am this morning since I had been so wrapped up in playing with my new toy! So when I looked at my printout of the remarks here ,I noticed that System Restore is "SUPPOSED" to be unchecked,DUH, and I was supposed to check it, so that I have now done, (rebooted,and unchecked it too, LOL) and hopefully my problem is now gone, thanks to your posts. Wow, Please excuse me wasting your time,and thanks again for the info via your posts.CU Chris

Download.com has the virus scanner you need to find these virus's, but it does not offer the "cure" nor does it offer to get rid of the virus's unless you PURCHASE their product.
