lebob,
I metioned 7 Zip because I have tried to download files Zip programme from the site and every time I tried I had nasty Taarjon Horse with the package similar to Intervaleheha and it took me a while to get rid of it. You may not notice but it slows your system considerably and by the time you have realised something is wrong and you try to restore it, it will not let you do that. Be careful.

Koter002, Did you download it from sourceforge ? 7 Zip is open source so I'd be surprised
if you got a trojan from it.

[koter002]

I searched it on Google to download winzip when I I read about 7 ZIP and downloaded.
What type of site is sourceforge?

[lebob]

technology community open source software distribution site.
SourceForge.net: Software Map

I got the same bstd* thing, and the only way I manage to get some restbite was to clear the host file
c:/system32/windows/drivers/etc/hosts
Delete everything in this hosts file.
Enter the entry below and save and all should be ok
127.0.0.1. localhost

You might still have to download superantispyware and do a complete scan to remove any other traces. All shoulld be ok.

Sorry the above is for XP it's a similar fix for Vista.
But with Vista yo will have to do a bit messing about as it dosn't allow you to change the hosts file.

"hosts" on my computer isn't a folder... it's just an unknown thing... I'm not sure how to delete this intervalhehehe virus because it isn't a folder =/

[sophie2406]

uhm... can anyone explain to me how to do a system restore?

[koter002]

sophie2406,
I have Window XP. This is what I do to restore from earlier date.
From START, click & go to all programmes, Accessories, system tools and System Restore.
When you click on system restore you will get pop box which will guide you how to restore to earlier date when your computer was working properly.
regular restore point will help in the event of system crash. pop up box will also give you above optiobn.

I picked this up a few days ago and I've run every scan, and virus detector known to man. I could use some serious help here before I put my foot through my computer!!
Thanks

There's many different ways posted out there on how to get rid of this thing. First of all...Kaspersky will not do it, Norton will not do it, AVG will not do it, Panda will not do it, etc...etc...

Windows Defender, SpyHunter, etc...will not do it.

Some folks have gotten rid of it by deleting explorer.exe, which is how I finally was able to. However, what the one guy who posted this method failed to mention was that you have to do it in safe mode because it will not allow you to delete it otherwise. (I'm talking about XP here)

Also some folks have posted in other places that you have to delete explorer.exe....DO NOT DELETE EXPLORER.EXE!

It is explore.exe NOT explorer.exe. I made that mistake because of someone's misinformation.

The way I finally did was to download Hijack This....then run a scan. Delete all the redirects...the web addresses that look real but are not. I was not sure which ones were real and which weren't. I deleted all of them. Don't know if you should do that or not, but it seemed to work.

The next step is to boot in safe mode (Windows XP). If like me, you have never done that, it's easy for XP at least. Restart your computer, while it's booting up tap the F8 button until you get a screen that asks you if you want to choose safe mode. Use the arrow keys to move to Safe Mode then hit enter. It will boot up into safe mode.

Then in safe mode, go to My Computer, C drive, Windows folder, then System32 folder. Look carefully for an application named explore.exe. On my system it had a cute little icon that looks like a stack of books. If you see this...that's it.

Delete this file. Again, on my system, XP, it could only be done in safe mode. Once you delete it, make sure you delete it from the recycle bin because that is where it goes.

Once tha't's done, reeboot in normal mode, recheck system32 folder again to make sure it's gone. Run Hijack This again, and delete any redirects again. Empty your recycle bin and uninstall Hijack This.

Note: when you run Hijack This, if you create back up logs you MUST delete them as well. Remember to always empty your recycle bin when you are done!

This finally worked for me. It has been a couple days and several reboots now and so far so good....

It might sound complicated if you haven't done anything like this before but it isn't really. Once you do it, you'll see how easy it is.

Oh yeah, if you have never gone into your C drive files before, you will get a message that says these files are "hidden." Just go ahead and click to display the files...it won't hurt anything. Just remember to be careful when surfing around in there because these are the files that make your computer work. Don't delete anything you shouldn't!

Best of luck.

e


If you are running XP (that's all I can speak for), go to Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, System Restore and follow the on screen instructions from there.

I have found that when most antivirus programmes fail i try Trend Micro - House call, its a free external virus scanner which isn't detected by the virus, if it doesn't get shut it will give you a step by step guide on how to find it and erase if from your system,
hope this helps
