Annoying Virus Alerts!

alimoeali

Dear Christian,

I am using bit defender total security 2011.

After a quick scan the antivirus identified and blocked a virus known as Trojan.JS.Redirector.YM. however i get an alert of this

information every 20 seconds (it just pops up while i was writing this!!). its annoying and although i close this alert, it keeps showing

up every few seconds. i don't really know whether or not bit defender has deleted the virus. please help

kind regards

rootkit

Hello

Welcome to the forums.

In order to be able to assist you please run a Deep System Scan task with Bitdefender and send us the resulting scan report.

[how to GENERATE A DEEP SYSTEM SCAN LOG]

- Before running the scan please make sure that you have the latest virus definitions downloaded via the Update module: open Bitdefender and click the "Options" button in the upper right side of the interface; Select Expert view and go to the Update menu.

- After the update process completes successfully you can proceed to running the scan task: go to the Antivirus menu and under the Virus scan tab.

Right click on Deep system scan and select Scan now.

- When the scan ends, click the "View Log" button at the bottom right of the scan window; A browser window will open displaying the scan report; Save this file on a location of your choice and then attach it on your next reply here.

NOTE! If you already ran a scan task you can send us your latest report instead.

[how to RETRIEVE THE LATEST DEEP SYSTEM SCAN LOG]

- Open Bitdefender and click the "View Logs" link on the lower right; Click the "Antivirus" tab on the left;

- In the "On-demand tasks" list (the one on the bottom) look for the latest (closest to the top) entry that reads "Deep System Scan" under the "Task Name" column and "Scan Finished" under the "Action name"; Double-click this entry and click the "View Scan Log" button at the bottom of the window that just popped up; A browser window will open displaying the scan report; Save this file on a location of your choice and then attach it on your next reply here.

We recommend using the new Bitdefender QUICKSCAN for an extra layer of protection;

- click on "Start" and read the END USER SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT carefully; Select the "Accept" button to use the QuickScan tool or "Exit" if you do not agree with the terms and conditions;

- Allow the scanning process a few moments to complete;

- When the scan is over click on "Report" in order to open the log in the default text editor; Save the log to a location of your choice (e.g. Desktop) and send it to us attached to the reply to this topic.

We will analyze all the data and get back to you ASAP.
