QuietStorm
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down
My computer has been very slow and acting like someone else was on it for a long time. I ran Ad-aware, McAfee virus scan, and lots of other tools. No viruses were found. Tonight I ran a free scan on the Symantec website. It took a long time, but it found two trojan horses in the files I downloaded when KC's photobucket pictures were released. My McAfee protection keeps getting turned off, so I think these trojans are to blame. I'll re-post if not.
One reason no other software found the trojan horses is because I normally scan my C drive since that's the one most targeted. My drive is partitioned, so I keep photos and other files on my D drive, which is where all my KC Anthony files are located. Symantec did not give me a choice as to which drives to scan so it scanned all of them (free, too). I deleted the files and hope that takes care of it. Symantec did not list what kind of trojan horses they were or I'd search for a removal tool
If any of you downloaded KC's photobucket photos, you might want to check it out. Here's the results Symantec gave me:
149260 files scanned, 2 file(s) infected on your disk drives.
No viruses were detected in memory.
Search for the name of the threat(s) listed below on the Symantec Security Response site for removal information.
Your computer is infected with at least one known virus or Trojan horse.
