I just got that trojan two days ago. First go here (http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/js.seeker.html) and follow the directions on how to remove it. Before you start you should delete your temperary internet files.

This trojan does not mess up your monitor or screen resolutions. That I think might be your monitor messing up. The only thing this trojan does is chenge your IE explore settings, changes your homepage to unwanted porn sites, and then adds a lot of bad sites to your favorites list.


But to me it sounds like the trojan wasn't executed. If you don't have Windows Scripting Host installed then all it will do is sit in your temperay internet files. If it sits in the temperary internet files Norton anti virus won't detect it if you do a full system scan because the virus hides itself as a pop up. All you have to do is go to your activity log, scroll down to when it detected the virus, and go delete the file that it sais is infected by the virus. Then you should be cool.

Thanks, I tried that site and followed all of its directions but nothing seems to be happenning.

I there anything I can do about my resolution.

Go and connect the monitor to another computer and check to see if it works on there computer. If it does your problem could be video card related. Also check to see if the pins on the end of the monitor cable are all straight. Sometimes bent pins will cause the monitor to change colors.

How do I exactly delte the file I am a new jack and have been trying just about everthing.

[Bizkitkid2001]

Open up norton anti virus, then click on reports, then click on activity log. scroll down to where it sais the trojan was detected. It should say something like, the JS seeker trojan/virus was found in so-and-so file. Then it should tell you where the file is. Once you find the virus, right click it, and while holding shift click delete. Its that simple. If you can't find the file its because it got delete when, if, you delte temp internet files.

I have just tried that three or four times and I am not getting any response.

[Bizkitkid2001]

[cruising]

in the activity log

[Bizkitkid2001]

No no no. You can't delete it in the activity log!!:rolleyes: Read what it sais. It should tell you where the virus is located.

[cruising]

Ohhh, How do I go about finding it. Remeber I am New Jack.

[Bizkitkid2001]

C:\documentsandsettings\eric\localsettings\tempora ryinternetfiles\contentIe5\INczt2f6\startnow[1].js
is infectedd with the js seeker virus
unable to repair
access to file denied

[Bizkitkid2001]

Ok now this is really really easy. Open up windows explore. click on my computers, and then go to
C:\documentsandsettings\eric\localsettings\tempora ryinternetfiles\contentIe5\INczt2f6\ and look for the file name startnow[1].js and then delete it.

[Bizkitkid2001]

You might have to chsnge your settings so you can see the folder localsettings. To do this go to windows explore, click on tools on the top menu, then click on Folder options, then click on the tab that sais view, and then scroll down until you see hidden files and folders(it should be right on top or close to it) and then click on show hidden files and folders.

[Bizkitkid2001]

You weren't joking you are a newbi:p

Ok, click on start, all programs, the click on accessories, and then look for windows explore and click on that.

Igot all the way to the INCZT2F6 part.
A small folder shows up that is open but nothingelse happens what next?

[Bizkitkid2001]

Are you saying that the folder is empty?

[cruising]

I don't know exactly?
There is nothing on the right hand column and when I check its properties it shows zero bytes and zero folders.

[Bizkitkid2001]

OK then your clear. The virus is gone. Go have fun and play some games because your system is just fine.
