Trojan Horse Virus - help!

AVG keeps popping up that there is a Trojan Horse virus. I'll send to vault
and then delete. I'll run a scan, and there is nothing there......few
minutes later, the box comes up again. I ran Spybot and SuperAntivirus
Spyware....not Trojan Virus shows. I don't know anything at all about
computers, so it's very frustrating for me. I just don't know what to do. I
tried looking up the Trojan Virus.

The pop up says:

TrojanhorseSHEUR2.KY
c:SystemVolumeInfo\-restore{202550A8-7A33-4BCA-9586-051D2YDD8F8F}\RP289\A0018816.dll

Please help ~ thanks!!!

Also, every time I activate the Windows Update (type services.msc in run, and
thin hit automatic and start in automatic updates), it updates and windows
updates work. However, if I reboot or do a virus scan, the windows updates
doesn't work again, and I have to do the run format all over again.

Hello, there! I will be more than happy to help you:) In fact, feel free to email me anytime you have questions about your computer. sweetness_78745@yahoo.com or, if you'd like, add me if you have yahoo IM.

If not, I used this before I got Ca. Its antimalware and it scans all trojans and lets you quarentione /delete auto,. or manually...they offer, or did, a free trial, on download.com I am married(divorce process now, tho..lol) to a test engineer for a major co. here in Texas, so I know all about computers, now ...lol, something good had to come out of 10 yrs,lol! Feel free to contact me and good luck to you!

NOTE:
The above mentioned applications are not capable for real-time protection
of your computer; They are on-demand scanners.

Kaspersky® Virus Removal Tool, Dr.Web CureIt!® have no update feature (so
they don't turn into full blown scanners). As soon as your computer is
cleaned you are supposed to remove these tools from your operating system
and revert back to your (updated) resident (real-time) AV application.
Re: Kaspersky® Virus Removal Tool; To uninstall/move this program 'enable
self-defense' must be unchecked!

To scan your computer with the most up-to-date Kaspersky® AVPTool and
Dr.Web CureIT!® virus databases next time you should download new
Kaspersky® AVPTool and Dr.Web CureIt!® packages.

BitDefender10 Free Edition, a-squared Free or a-squared Command Line
Scanner, Sophos Anti-Virus (SAV32CLI) and the free version of Malwarebytes©
and SuperAntispyware have an update feature; You may wish to keep a couple
of them installed in addtion to your resident AV/A-S applications and scan
frequently.

After the software is updated, it is suggested scanning the system in Safe
Mode (this does not apply to MBAM).
"Malwarebytes actually performs better in Normal Mode" says Dustin Cook,
co-author of MBAM.
How do you boot to Safe Mode?
By pressing/tabbing F8 (or F5 on some keyboards) during re-boot.
A description of the Safe Mode Boot options in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=315222
Start your computer in safe mode (Vista)
http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...904a11033.mspx
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tuto...utorial61.html

Alternatively:
Click Start==>Run... then type (or copy/paste) "msconfig" (without
quotation marks), click OK. Then click onto BOOT.INI tab and 'check'
/SAFEBOOT then OK and click Restart. To go back to Normal Mode, you must
access the System Configuration utility again and click the General tab
then click/check the radio button 'Normal Startup'- load all device drivers
and services'.

4.Download and execute HiJack This! (HJT)

Just wondering ... Have you noticed more spams to your yahoo account now
that you've published the addy in a public newsgroup, Kim, or did the
underscore mitigate that ?

Re: Trojan Horse Virus - help!

Chances are that you're seeing the affects of a hijackware infection.

1. See if you can download/run the MSRT manually:
http://www.microsoft.com/security/ma...e/default.mspx

2. Run this online scan (in safe mode w/networking, if need be):
http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/center/howsafe.htm

3. Run additional checks for hijackware, including posting your hijackthis
log to an appropriate forum.

Checking for/Help with Hijackware
http://aumha.org/a/parasite.htm

http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/Malware_Defence.htm
http://defendingyourmachine2.blogspot.com/
http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/...moving_Malware

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe) is the preferred tool to use (in
conjuction with some other utilities). HijackThis will NOT fix anything on
its own, but it will help you to both identify and remove any
hijackware/spyware with assistance from an expert. **Post your log to
http://spywarehammer.com/simplemachi...php?board=10.0,
http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22,
http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30, or another appropriate forum for review
by an expert in such matters, not here.**

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.
