I have this Trojan, it prevents my Internet browsers from connected to any websites at all and initially I thought I had an Internet provider problem. Norton has removed it twice and my laptop appeared to be fixed and working well then again it wont display any pages.

Any ideas?

Reading all of the details from all of you i am so lost. I deleted the 2 files that were infected with the virus – I ran Norton who only detected the stupid files 4 months after they have been nicely sitting on my PC. Got scared and deleted the files (also from the recycle bin). Then i did all the things you guys were referring to and Norton is stating no Trojan is left on my PC, but my PC seems to be having problems, including i am getting a hard drive smart error message. can this virus be causing system issues? What if I do a complete reinstall of my PC – reinstall everything, would that work? If this would work, how do i then clean up all my music which is on an external hard disk? Any help would be appreciated as i also don’t want to fund the Norton fund any more as their help is useless.

Thanks to all who suggested running the Symantec removal tool in safe mode. I had already run it several times without success in normal mode and was getting quite annoyed (sometimes Norton really does suck!). I am semi-literate technically so I know I was doing everything correctly. Finding the solution here helped me to keep my sanity. Again, many thanks! (It would be nice if Norton would tell folks to boot in safe mode to run their tool.)

Hi George…

I tried to download your brisv.killer, but i think your site is down or something. Could you PLEASE email me your latest version! I had a copy of it but it got deleted by mistake!

Thanks a lot
Brad

Hey. I just want to know. Does trojan.brisv.a destroys or infect music files ONLY?

I’m not very good at technical things, I have removed the music file to recycle bin, then emptied it. Norton says trojan.brisv.a! is gone I am not sure, I have restarted in safe mode and ran the tool again then back to normal mode and scanned again, I am not sure if it is gone or not. How can I be sure.

Hi Zoran

I’m not very good at the technical differences but I think the major changes in security is that it’s supposed to be improved to stop hackers getting into your hard drive and to prevent spyware getting onto your system. The Windows Defender tool seems to be already present instead of having to download and parental control features.

Having said that I run all of this and Norton regularly.

Not so much Mat. My case is different from everyone else’s because I had the infected file, but I used System Restore to get rid of it. Now I’m suffering from very high lag, and cannot find any trace of the Trojan, and none of these programs can find it because the file isn’t really here.

This works people.
Download the FixBrisv of Symantec and save to your desktop. Restart your PC under safe mode using F8. That’s the bit they don’t tell you to do. Run your scan and there you go, virus gone. Your problem is now solved.
