Trojan.downloader.gida.a
Trojan.downloader.gida.a
Bitdefender found this on my computer but could not move it or remove it. So, I did some research and found only a few items on this issue on google. One of them being from F-Secure Antivirus. So I tried the F-secure, and it did the same thing, only when it said it could not move it or disable it...I don't know what happened to it. For some reason the file was gone or changed names or something.
Since Bitdefender found this item on 1-2-08, I stared having computer issues such as WMI encontered and problem and needs to close...some websites opening and then later on will not open at all. Just crazy issues which I am sure could be virus related.
I have done every scan, trojan scan and still they do not find anything. Has anyone else had an issue such as this or heard of the Gida.a?
The only thing I could find is:
Trojan-Downloader.SWF.Gida.A is detection of Adobe Flash files that have seen served over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and linked from advertisement sites.
It injects additional HTML content to the viewed webpage which then serves malicious content.
Detailed Description
The trojan contains an Adobe Flash ActiveScript which injects JavaScript code into the viewed webpage. Malicious JavaScript adds HTML to the currently viewed webpage.
Results include Drive-by downloads, Pop-up ads, and JavaScript alerts.
Several of the advertisements have been aimed at promoting rogue antispyware applications.
While Adobe Flash is a multi-platform application, the end infection is directed towards the Win32 (Windows) platform.
Adobe Flash is a common media container for banner advertisements. The trojan have been observed on several large News websites where the Flash have been shown from advertisement networks. The News sites have reacted quickly to remove such malicious Flash files.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
