The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Trogan.net MSV/VPS Virus Removal... Hijack This Log

Asked by AKMARK5000 in Anti-Virus, Internet Security

Ok, so I have my dad's Dell 2350 sitting in front of me. It caught a Trogan.net MSV/VPS Virus.

The desktop had 3 new shortcuts and a warning kept popping up about security risk and to download something. The task manager didnt work either. It said something about being disabled by the administrator. Oh, and the monitor keeps auto adjusting upon every reboot and startup& no idea what that one is about.

Anyway, I deleted the shortcuts and just xed out of the pop up windows and rebooted and started up into safe mode and ran Superantispyware, which found the Trogan.net MSV/VPS and 3 related registry keys and they were quarantined. Then I ran Norton, which fond nothing.

I rebooted and started up normally, but appearently that didn't do much. The desktop had those same three shortcuts and a warning kept popping up about security risk and to download something.

I then rebooted and restarted into safe mode and uninstalled the Hi. First let me say thanks to all you folks here at Tech Support Guy. I've had a few problems resolve here and my HTJ analysis has gone from nothing to beginner!

I then rebooted and restarted into safe mode and uninstalled the internet explorer browser and restarted normally.

The same old three shortcuts appeared along with that warning pop up. Plus, the internet explorer browser did not get uninstalled, but did not show up in the install/uninstall programs menu.

So, I rebooted and restarted into safe mode once again and did a system restore to yesterday& that seemed to work! After restarting normally those three icons were there, but blotted out (unrecognized) and no more pop up warning.

I am still not sure whether or not the thing is gone. I am also bothered by the fact that the internet explorer browser is on the system, but still does not appear in the install/uninstall programs menu.

Heres the HJT log (see attached Please).
