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.

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.
