JS/Downloader.Agent

1. Please use SmitfraudFix to remove this threat.

I used this removal tool and it worked. All the threats are gone. I do have a question for you though. AVG showed changed dll files before it found the actual threats. It is now listing them again. Is this because they have been changed back to the originals or is there still some work that I have to do? Thanks for the great fix tool!

Sharon, it would be great if you would elaborate more on your questions. If your AVG is having errors it advised to reinstall it and dont forget to always update it.

It did not work for me. My company had 40 computers that get this virus.
AVG showed “virus found JS/downloader.agent” and we choose “move to vault”.
I had tried to scan my computer by Norton, Trend Micro, Kaspersky, McAfee,
Bit Defender, Spybot S&D, Spyware Doctor, AVG Anti-Spyware, Ccleaner,
SmitFraudFix, and many other tools but still can’t remove this virus.
This virus seems spread from the network and can’t identify the root.
Please help!!

It is harder to remove a virus particularly if it is capable of spreading over the network. It may be difficult but I guess you have to scan each computer while disconnected from the network.

One more special tool to use is TrendMicro’s Sysclean.

Thanks for your help!! As I found that while the infected computer was switched off, the threat alert was gone. So I expected the infected computer will spread the script (flash.958167.com/main.js)to those computers accessing internet only.
I am tried to isolate the infected computer and scan again.

Thanks, thanks and more thanks! SmitfraudFix was very easy to install and the instructions were very easy to follow. After rebooting and AVG Free running again: NO VIRUS’s!! I’ll now search for where I can make a small donation to help defray costs.

Hi — I found the link to donate, BUT, it kept putting my US dollar amount as EUR pounds. Since I didn’t want Eur amount on my credit card I cancelled. Is there a way to donate in US dollars using a credit card? Thanks

Sue, I’m sorry I cannot answer your question. This is not my tool and I have no direct connection with the author SiRi. Kindly visit his site and contact him.

Thanks this program is a life saver i was on my room mates laptop and all the sudden it just popped up when i tried to download a codex. I spent 3 hours tryin to fix it before finding this, 15 min later it’s gone. expect a great donation from me.

I used the Trend Micro SysClean to solve my problem with the JS Downloader.Agent virus and it worked great! No more virus. Thanks so much for the link for it.

I too have the virus, when I try to click on the link for the the download it brings me to a page DNS.org… it does this whenever I try to click on any links. Could it be part of the virus. I have tried typing the link directly into the address bar, to no avail. Help! I’m ready to throw my computer out the window!

Hi- While i was using the yahoo messenger, some link popped up n’ started spreading through my convo wid the other person. I scanned and found out this virus but the problem is I am not able to heal the virus with the help of AVG.
Does this virus affect the net connection by any chance?
Kindly help asap.
Thankyou.

I used trend micro’s house call to check and clean my system that had been acting funny for a good week anyway. I use AVG anti virus and it never picked up the virus j/s download agent. I went through the procedure on trend micro to remove the virus but my avg anti virus program picked it back up 2 days later so i dont think trend micro got rid of it

Last week AVG detected JS downloader agent but was unable to remove it. Thankfully the laptop remained working allowing me to find this helpful information. I downloaded Smitfraudfix from the link at the begining of this thread. Then followed the procedure exactly…ie boot up in safe mode. And it completely eliminated the threat.

Thank you for the help.

I got this virus a few weeks ago but although AVG said there had been a healing error it moved the virus to the vault which I then cleared. I also cleaned the disc of temp internet files etc and the virus appears to have gone. Two days ago while on the net an AVG popup warned that the virus was present at that site I immediately shut the internet down cleaned off temp folders again and emptied the vault where AVG had put the virus. Scans since have not detected any prescence.

I will use it as i am also facing same problem.

I have repeatedly tried to remove Js downloader.agent virus with the help of Smitfraudfix. While, It has helped in removing and cleaning the virus from the computer, but the moment I log on to internet, again the virus threat messages come. They are content.ie5wdafk5m3\ads(1)js, ads(2)js, w8w9csu\ads(1)js. Please advise and help in removing repetetive onslaught of virus threat. thanks

It worked just great for me!!!

Wonderful!! Thanks for your help!

try these steps and successfull

1) uninstall everything (including antivirus sofware) from your pc only keep your client software which is used to connect to the internet.

2) download and install avg spyware doctor and get latest update installed.dont perform any scan now.

3)go to safe mode

4)open administrator account

5)then do a final full system scan using avg spyware doctor
in safe mode.
6)if this trojan is present it will be shown as trojan downloader.small.js

7) as recommended action set delete on reboot.reboot your computer

8) you have done it.

note: in these steps we have assumed that there is only one trojan is present on machine that is js/downloader.agent

if you want to try other scanner
please scan after unistalling other software form your pc othewise it will come again
this trojan have embedded code in it through which it have the ability to attach itself with other software files and hide with them so inorder to comletely remove it firstly unistall everyother software including antivirus software before scanning

I believe if AVG finds this virus it’s a “false postive.” It’s happened a few times before, I never heal it, and the virus is gone. Also, it detected a Trojan from a World of Warcraft file, and it was confirmed that it was a false positive.

i’m using AVG and it has a couple of viruses in its virus bank.I’m not sure if I’m supposed to leave it alone or delete the files.And I’m having trouble with my computer shutting off randomly and I’m not sure if the virus can cause it if its in the virus bank.

I used SmitFraudFix and followed all the instructions, but when I checked my AVG program following the scan, it says that the virus is still in the vault. Do I have to remove it from the vault so that SmitFraudFix can remove it? Or is it removed, but still showing up in AVG for some reason?

I’m running Vista and AVG detected this virus on my machine. SmitFraudFix says it works with XP and Windows 2000, does anyone know if it works with Vista?

Rob, You have to empty the vault first.

GigB, SmitFraudFix does not have a version for Vista.

i have vista. how do i get rid of js/downloader.agent please help…

Trying to get rid of js/downloader on windows 98se. Downloaded SmitFraudFix.exe to desktop, copied instructions, restarted in SafeMode, tried to start SmitfraudFix but nothing happened. Any suggestions? Thanks!

After an AVG virus scan today, it detected JS/Downloader Agent. I clicked on the link to put it in the AVG Virus Vault. AVG’s Help states: “When you moved the file to the AVG Virus Vault it was deleted from its original location, coded, and then saved as a non-executable file in a hidden folder. Your PC is no longer infected.” Other scans using different programs have found no viruses since then. The Help instructions go on to say: “If you are not missing any data files and your applications are running, then you can delete these vaulted files from the AVG Virus Vault.”

I´m from Argentina. I don´t know very well the language (english). My Pc detected JS/Downloader.Agent and my AVG can´t with it. I have Vista. What can I do? please!!!

my avg scans every day.is this right? its just started telling me i’ve got js/downloader.agent.its been put in the virus vault.am i supposed to do anything with it?everything seems to be ok otherwise.im on vista and computer illiterate.

i have used smitfraud fix with vista and it works fine. just make sure you’re in safe mode. i got rid of jsdownloader agent by deleting temp internet files

I got the disks to reload my 1 year old laptop, it formatted the hard drive, after all done I downloaded AVG and bang with in minutes there JS downlaoder agent? What is up? Is this a false reading? I am going crazy with this. Has anone else got it that was NOT running AVG?
Please email with help?

my computer is infected with js/downloader agent. It’s affecting my internet explorer. I m unable to open internet explorer so unable to use smitfraudfix..how do i go about removing the infection? my computer runs on vista.

AVG scans found the js/dl virus on my cpu. AVG could not heal it so I looked at the path of the virus and deleted all my temporary Internet files and rescaned. The virus was not dected again although I will rescan tomorow jus to be sure.

I joined the internet by network ( with a lot of other computers )and one of the other members had that virus called ( JS Downloader ) and when iam surfing the net it always shows in alert message i cant know which computer is infected or know where is the option in the AVG that can delete that virus automatically so Help please .

Dear friends
I have a Java script virus JS/Ddlr.Agent.ZY
detected by avira antivir, but this Antivirus can not remove it
Consequently, It is impossible to open any web site with JAva script element

I need help
Thank you

I have virus found JS/downloader.agent” and I chose “move to vault”

Its there now.. If i removed/delete from vault, is it deleted from my comp? please lemme know ASAP!

scott, i deleted js/dl from virus vault….it went from the vault ok,but everytime avg scans it says i’ve still got it only now it doesn’t even give me the option to “move to vault”….!!

thats not good, what kind of virus is this? i see that its “LOW” on the metter of Viruses..

SOMEBODY HELP ME GET RID OF THEM 4 GOOD!

ok so I had the js/downlaoder virus as well…Avg could not put it in the vault, so I went to my temporary internet files and deleted them..ran the scan again and it showed no virus..so does that mean that it is gone….Also now when i run Avg, this pops up…
file infection path
hosts change C:/WINDOWS/system32/drivers

Had both the js/downloader virus and an exploit virus. Don’t know if AVG have put out update that fixed the problem, but was able to move them to virus vault and delete them. Have done another scan and they seem to be gone. Fingers crossed, hopefully they are gone from my PC.

It worked for me
but now my cousin can’t get on runescape and my limewire wouldnt open

I met this virus today. However,I moved it to vault and I don’t know how to do with it then. By the way, may I know what is the symptom when JS/Downloader.Agent working?

I have a problem with the JS\Downloader Agent. I still use Windows 98 SE, I can’t afford to update my OS at this time. Is there any downloads out there for Windows 98SE that will get rid of this JS Downloader Agent. Thanks, Dan

I had JS/Downloader agent and moved it to AVG Vault. I then deleted it, deleted all temp internet files and Java temp internet files then did full AVG scan. Fingers crossed it seems ok now.

Sorry , forgot to say I have Windows XP

I have not been able to access my e-mail or internet in over a week. Can the JS virus cause this to happen suddenly or am I dealing with two seperate things. Without the internet I cant get to smitfraudfix.

JS/Downloader.Agent

I have this problem and suddenly another JS thing comes up in my AVG test results. But after few minutes the virus is gone.. I wonder why really. Is it hidding in my computer and I should remove it as fast as possible or should I just leave it there? Anyway I cant move any virus to the vault cause every scan is ended it says: Error healing files. Please help me as fast as possible.

Suddenly I got a new virus Trojan Horse Generic10.AYOS. I moved this file to Virus Vault and removed it. I hope this is gone now. Somehow this is connected to JS/Downloader.Agent. Still I cant find any virus or the JS/Downloader.Agent. I deleted all my temporary Internet files and rescaned and found this Trjoan Horse virus. I removed it and gonna check for more virus. No wonder why my computer were a little slower.. Anyway if you guys see a virus called ruco.exe remove it by using any anti-virus program.

I have not been able to get any fruitfull results from all the above mentioned methods.I scanned my computer over and over again,I even hadf to format my C drive twice.But it still dont seem to work…Csn Anyone help me here please????

I got js/downloader took a while to sort it finally deleted temporary internet files. AVG no longer finds the virus but all my files now open the internet with full toolbars. It seems that if this virus has left a backdoor this odd connection allows access to every file. When i close a file that may hold music the broken internet connection produces a error message and my computer closes down and starts up almost in a flicker. This reproduces standard messages in starting my computer. how can I reset my files so as not to connect to internet.

Danny

ok any kind of java virus can be remover by free Avira AntiVir
cause i have the same virus i tryed Avira and it was scuesfull it,s very good.

Hi,precisesecurity!!

This virus seems difficult to remove my pc. I tried SmitfraudFix and TrendMicro’s Sysclean, but could not clean up this problem. Very annoyed!! Please give me the strong “medicine”?! thanks a lot! Charlie

By the way, the alert msg pops out when I enter a particular website only….

I want a solution for this js/Downloader.agent as Itried all antivirus and antispyware but no such solution to remove from my network as I tried to delete it a new link file of this virus is created and corrupts my system.

This thing is the bloody pits! I post a lot of web pages in HTML, and it was writing long script files that I know didn’t come from my CPU. In any case, I downloaded and ran ( smitfraudfix ) in the Safe Mode, and it looks like the infection has been cleared. I’ll post again if it comes back, and thank you so much for the information. the PEARL

question: after i scanned my computer avg found 9 virus, i think, and some warnings that i don’t understand, then it got moved from the virus vault, does that mean my computer is virus free? was it healed automatically? or does the viruses still remain in my computer? *thanks.

anyone using vista avira blocks this virus

Hi, I was on the internet when my computer suddenly flashed that JS/downloader Agent had been detected, I selected the option to move it into the virus vault, is this all that I have to do - or do I still need to run a removal tool? and is it okay to just leave it in the virus vault or should I do something with it?

Hi,

I recently downloaded and installed a program called Graboid, Its meant to be for online streaming movies videos etc. After the installation my PC was affected with various amount of Trojans and this particular virus, I am wondering if it could have any connection with the Graboid program? I will try to use SmitFraudFix to see if it could help.

Hi,
I am a webmaster and got some complaints from users about this js downloader agent. I started checking Google. I have Norton 360 and sophos antivirus and did not get the message.
Surprisingly I only found people using AVG that have this problem???
Does this ring any bell’s? Maybe its an OK Free Virus scan but it comes with a virus :)
By the way, its a low priority virus.
Than again…..it should not be there.
I think AVG is the problem and you should spend a little money on a virus scan that works ok?

My son’s laptop has this js/downloader agent virus. Found virus using avg. downloaded both solutions mentioned in this thread. Cannot start in safe mode. Ran smithfraudfix any way and did get text file rappor as result. However virus still exists. tried microtrends downloads but cannot run as desktop keeps refreshing and i cannot open zip file. will paste text file from smithfraud if anyone thinks they can help me. i am at my wits end with this. help please !

Morgaine, I sincerely doubt AVG Free “comes with” or contains the JS/Downloader.Agent virus. I’ve been running it for eight years with no problems. In all that time, I’ve had only two viruses “attempting” to enter my computer, both of which AVG Free caught immediately. I then quarantined and removed.
