Seanie's Show Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Hi, I have recently set up my system with windows XP Pro X64, upon running Xoftspy 4.13 through my system it has picked up a trojan named Backdoor.Graybird, eachtime I remove it and re-scan it comes back again, however symantec antivirus x64 is not detecting this trojan.Does anyone know how to manually remove this trojan, I dont know where it came from as I have a wireless router with a built in firewall, I also use windows firewall, and symantec antivirus x64 client.

jbm Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Are you sure it's not a false positive? Any way doing a search in googlefound many links to remove it. Here's onehttp://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcen...r.graybird.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seanie's Show Posted June 25, 2005 Author Share Posted June 25, 2005 Thanks for your help anyway, managed to get rid of it now, re-started in safe mode and re-ran xoftspy which detected and removed it perm. this time, restarted again into normal mode and re-ran xoftspy again just to double check and its definatly gone.

jbm Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 False positive is when the virus scanner is telling you, you have a problemwhen you don't. The reason I gave you that link is it had instructions toremove it manually. Also you could check an see if you had the files andthing it mentioned on you PC. But I'm glad you got it fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dale5605 Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 (edited) xoftspy is crap, use HijackThis for your trojans.If HijackThis picks stuff up after a fresh install then you must have got a warez copy of windows that somebody infected.
