How can i remove the virus name of Trojan.Brisv.A!inf on my computer.
Hi Mostofa, dont have a copy of the trojan so we dont have a chance to test the cure. You may try to download malwarebytes antimalware.

I had the same problem, but when i deleted the first file it then jumped and multiplied to other music files, i had to delete my music files from every user to get rid of this trojan. Thanks for the help phil gee!
what safemode is it that we’re talking about?
How do you locate the source of the file?
Hi chelly,
You can remove that file if it is not a Windows system file. But be care full.
If Norton is not removing the file that means that file could be an important one.
Follow these steps.
1. Download this Symantec Trojan.Brisv.A removal tool again to your desktop (If
possible download though another system).
http://www.symantec.com/content/en/us/global/removal_tool/threat_writeups/FixBrisvA.exe
2.Disconnect your network/internet connection.
3. Turn Off your system restore temporarily.
4. Restart your system in safe mode.
5. Locate and run the downloaded removal file again .
In almost all cases the removal tool/Antivirus must detect the threat
and will remove it in safe mode with no system restore.
6. After running the removal tool. Restart your system normally.
7. Run the removal tool again to ensure that the system is clean.
8. Turn on your system restore.
This will remove the trojan if it is Trojan.Brisv.A .
Thanks a lot Phil! You’re method worked perfectly. :]
Help! I ran the removal tool, it doesn’t detect the virus. Norton 360 still says that it’s there though. Any ideas? How do you figure out exactly which file is infected?
Angie -> I have the same problem.
He can’t detect the virus. But yet Norton 360 is on alert.
How to remove it?
I have the same virus on my 32 bit Vista, i tried the symantic removal tool with recovery mode off and it didn’t work, then i tried it in safe mode and it said it found and removed the virus, but Norton says its still there, so i called a Norton tech who basically did all the same things that i did (for free) by remote-controlling my PC, but of course Norton said it’s still in “unresolved history”, and “quarantine”, but the Norton tech insisted that it was not in my PC anymore. I actually don’t believe the tech because there is still Trojan.Brisv.A!inf activity going on in my PC like Norton tells me. Chriss’ methood above of removing the trojan is the only consistant solution i have seen in many hours surfing for the truth, but it didn’t seem to work, can someone give us some answers here? Why has the trojan been active for 7+ months and Norton hasn’t patched it’s anti-virus to remove it? Why are they looking to charge us $100 US through their “premium services” for removing a trojan that their anti-virus was supposed to prevent in the first place? How the hell do we get rid of this Trojan??? I guess it’s all about the money huh. -NeverUsingNortonEverAgain-
Norton Antivirus says that I still have this virus yet the file was already deleted. Any ideas why this is?
Same problem as you Angie, Amin and Kyle.
Norton will give you the infected file location if you click on the higlighted virus Trojan.BRisv.A!inf indication.
Suggest if you are in XP to remove System Restore and then physically remove the file by deleting it from the Recycle Bin also.
Run the tool in Safe mode. Restore “System Restore” in normal mode and run the FixBrisvA tool again. For safety run a full system scan after downloading the latest DAT files (Liveupdate if you are using Norton). It should finally work.
Good luck.
hey, How can I locate the file, I have tried many antiviruses and the trojan is still there!! HEEEEEEEEELLLP!
I also have this trojan on my laptop. Downloaded and ran the removal tool normally and in safe mode. After running the tool it said it was deleted but after restarting and running a full virus scan w/ Norton it showed that I now had 2 of these trojans. Anyone who can offer help would be great. Thanks !!
I ran the Norton Tool for this trojan, and it was fine. I also ran Combofix, and MalWareBytes Anti-Malware,a nd it found nothing. HOWEVER, whenever i close my computer at night and reboot the next morning, there it is again! When I run these programs, it says it cannot find a bad file at all. Then I run the Norton Tool in Safe Mode, reboot and NOrton turns green check again..everything ok. The next morning…….booom! I start all over again. Anyone know how to REALLY get rid of this, or anyone having the same problem?
Thanks!

hey, i have this Trojan.Brisv.A!inf and i also have norton 360 and it says me a few steps to remove it, and one of them is Turn Off Windows System Restore, but its disabled :S and in best buy it cost me $200 to fix it… HELP :S
THANKS
And Also… norton 360 detects me where the threat is located,, is in a music download , can i just put deletee and isnt any problem???
I have the same virus… I love the advice aswell , but my internet isn’t working. I know this is kind of vague, but I am connected to my wireless connection but when I open my browser it tells me that it can’t be displayed! is this related to the trojan? sorry for grammar…I’m doing this on my phone…hence the no internet!!
cheers
Same problem w/ Norton saying I still have (2) brisv.a and I am not paying $100 dollars to let them fix it. The removal tool says its removed and after that my computer didn’t act funny like it was before so I’m just going to take it’s word as long as its running fine. Also, I thought about deleting it through Norton (although it says its not safe to) but I think it would be okay now
hey I have same virus. Tried using my Norton Antivirus but it said I have to manually remove it, so I found the file and deleted it but every day it’s still there on my scan. That doesn’t make any sense, I deleted the file. How is it still there with the virus?
Category Viruses and Spyware
Type Trojan
Troj/Pushu-Gen is a family of Trojans for the Windows platform.
When members of Troj/Pushu-Gen are installed one of the following files is usually created:
\system32\drivers\ip6fw.sys
\system32\drivers\netdtect.sys
\system32\drivers\secdrv.sys
These files may be registered as a new system driver service named for example “Restore”, “Ip6Fw”, “NetDetect” or “Secdrv”. Registry entries are created under:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\
When members of Troj/Pushu-Gen are installed the following file is also usually created:
\system32\drivers\runtime.sys
ok. i finally got it off! yeah! apparently it was in more than one spot and so i didnt delete it all when I did it the first time. So I just deleted it again and then emptied my trash can. It’s gone…woke up to my daily morning scan…NO VIRUS’ found!! :D GL to everyone else.
Found the way to get rid of Norton alerts about the virus. First of all dont even bother with the removal tool, its a worthless piece of crap.
1. Put your computer into safe mode and find the file infected(You should be able to find which file was infected through the threat description that norton gives you, just look through that)
2. You should be able to delete it then, once you delete it restart your computer and log in normally
3. Run a custom scan of the files that were infected, if you did everything right you should show up all clear
4. Then find unresolved security risks on norton (its easier to find when you click on quarantined items then use the drop down menu to find it)
5. Once your there click on the icon next to the virus name and info
6. Then ignore what norton recommends just go ahead and click on remove.
7. If everything was done right then you just fought off that virus totally free of charge, and now you got some ideas for next time something infects you.
Good luck to all of you and I hope all of us be a little more careful next time we’re on limewire :)
