Trojan removal "downloader.keenval.O"
OS: Windows ME
AVG anti-virus has identified "downloader.keenval.O" as being present on one of my co-worker's home machines, but will not remove it.
Apparently she picked it up from Kazaa....this is a new variation of the popular trojan, and there is little documentation on it.
AdAware/S&D Spybot don't even see it.
Sorry for those of you looking for cheap/cheesy points. This one requires real work...I already Googled it.
All I can find are posts from people looking to get rid of it. I have an email into GrisSoft, but have not heard back from them.
Oh yeah...just in case any Lounge Lizards see this post...fdisk and format are NOT an option.
