My Norton alerted me of a virus that it quickly deleted (MHTMLRedir.Exploit) but while on the same website, before I could leave, it alerted that I received a trojan called aun_0011[1].exe "Trojan.Alwaysup". Located in a temporary internet file. It said it tried to repair it but failed. Then it said it said that access to the file was denied. I tried to do what symantec recommended by turning off system restore, downloading the latest virus definitions and scanning the computer. I scanned twice but both times it did not find the target. When I clicked more info on the trojan it said that it could re-name itself or move to another location but again the virus scan did not detect this. Can someone help me please.
I am on windows xp home. Sp2. Let me know if a HJT log is required and I will provide it. Just tell me where to post it please.

Have you tried running a scan with Housecall or a similar online scanner? It may pick up something that Norton missed.

Nah, I am less fond of Norton. I actually like McAfee's enterprise edition. That is what I run on two of my PC's. The enterprise edition has less overhead.
I would try AVG and see if it finds anything. Also, shutting off system restore is a good thing before you scan. | |
