    Hi all,

    I can't get this dam trojan off my netbook. I have win 7. Malware bytes and microsoft security essentials do nothing. It prompts a restart then my compuer fails and I have to do a system restore. I've tried going into safe mode and delete c:/Windows/explorer.exe and the other winint but it won't let me. Any ideas?

    S.

    I had the same problem...look at my thread on here called I think the MBR on one of my PCs is borked

    You basically need to replace your explorer.exe and winlogin.exe from the original CD via the XP Recovery Console.

    Also do a FIXMBR to be sure.

    Hijack This won't really be helpful with the Bamital/DroopTroop trojan as it's windows system exes that are directly infected.
