    Trojan:WinNT/Bubnix.gen keeps popping up

    I am getting continous popup from Microsoft Secuirty Essential that Trojan:WinNT/Bubnix.gen is detected in my system. I scanned that again and again so that it must be removed but no, nothing works here. The popup warning comes again and again. I had scanned the same now several time and this time I am looking for removal instruction for this trojan. What is the easy way to fix this out.

    Trojan is a type of Wind32/Heur trojan.Trojan is a general term for malicious software that enters the PC system without user's permission. Most Trojans exhibit some form of hostile or malicious behavior. They may contain a virus, an offline password or they can be a RAT (Remote Access Trojan) that is designed to allow remote control over your system. You must run a full system scan under safe mode. Use a better antivirus suite like Norton.

    There are some trojan virus which comes with inbuilt scanner. They scans the network automatically and then look for creating their copies. This is called as flooding of Trojan which is widely common on internet right now. You might need to ensure that if you are on internet then you must have a good security suite.

    Yes you can download and install Hijackthis tool. This tool will give you list of all files that are running in the background. You can then trace the virus and remove it. You must first scan with a good antivirus solution. Download and install Norton and then run scan under safe mode. In the list look for the suspicous file and then delete it. If you are not able to delete it then do that in safe mood.

    The issue with this trojan is that they are loaded in the startup so it is better to eliminate it from the place. There are several possibilities of Trojans to put their entries in the start menu. You can check in Start > Programs > Startup. It is the simplest and most possible way but it is rarely used because it is the location allow the Trojan to work in your system. Simply delete the entry in auto start.

    Autoexec.bat is the configuration file that starts the launch of the system and can thus be displayed. To gain access to this file click on Start > Run and then type here sysedit. It appears an editor with editable file system is the most important. One of these windows is the autoexec.bat. This file contains all commands to be executed at boot time well before the GUI is loaded.

    The best way is to scan the system under safe mode which eliminates most of the threat and you does need to do much here. The Trojan is not easy to remove and it might soon make your system crash. Trojans must ensure that they are loaded at each boot. In order to that the Trojans are always automatically loaded, they create entries in some system files. So till this entries are not deleted you can do nothing in that.
