I’ve just got generic.14 and unfortunately is rough. AVG and Windows Defender recognize the threat but are unable to remove one. I will be extremely grateful for any clues how to get rid of this nasty Trojan. I am running vista 32x. Please help.
Thank you,

Seems a new one, have you tried MalwareBytes AntiMalware. Download, update and scan your computer in Safe Mode.

Oh yeah man what you have to do is go to C:/Program Files/Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware and change the names of the icons that have the malware icon. example one will say mbam.exe you can change it to anything because the Trojan.horse.generic.14.dyj stops it from opening some extension files and don’t forget to change the name of the other icon. i still have this damn virus and i cant get rid of it Ive tried malware and nothing came up, AVG sees it but cant do anything about it so if you find a solution i would be more than happy. thanks in advance and i hope things go well.

How do you get rid of this thing? I just got it today and AVG can’t remove it
Jessica

You can change it to anything, but make a copy of the folder as is and change the copied folder name and the mbam.exe in the copied folder to something else. Once you have done that, you should be able to run the program using the exe in the folder you just renamed.

Twice I have run Malwarebytes (once with the quick scan & once with the full scan) and both times it has frozen on me.

Use AVG Anti Rootkit to remove this trojan. You can get this from “http://www. pcworld.com/downloads/file/fid,65198-order,4-c,firewalls/description.html” Link.

No need to copy to another folder, just rename the folder while installing.

i just got Trojan Horse Generic 14.PEB
Will MalwareBytes work on it, as well?
Could someone please post a step-by-step procedure?
I got confused by the posts about MalwareBytes Antimalware and ComboFix. Does ComboFix by itself remove the Trojan or does it just enable one to run MalwareBytes successfully and it is MalwareBytes that removes the trojan?
Thanks much!

Well, I might as well add another version:
Generic15.AUNP
Just discovered by AVG (free) 9.0 in three iterations. Don’t know what AVG did with them because I don’t understand the options offered (tried them both!).

I have had Trojan Horse “Generic 19.AJIK” for the last few days after it was found by AVG. It locks out AVG and another spyware programs (Trend Micro Add On)and shuts down all other programs by refusing to open them. It wants you to go to a off site Web site and pay money to “cure the Problem”.
I got rid of it by using System Restore (running XP) but you have to be very quick to bring up System Restore and get into it before 19.AJIK shuts it down also. You have to be VERY quick and shut down the whole computer after each trying in getting System Restore up.
I did not try using SAFE MODE to get into the System Restore but thay may help also.
