Re: Rivarts.A

Hi banjo, this link tells you a bit about Rivarts.A, how to get shot of it and more, it also says that it is installed by another trojan, 'downloader.fho'
Have a look see, might help, hope so

Re: Rivarts.A

Try running "HijackThis" (http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3155.html) on your PC. Copy and paste the log it produces into a post. It will be rather long, but I'll try and go through it to find the trojan.

Thank you for that, I tried that information a couple of days ago and cannot find the keys mentioned I have e-mailed Spyware Doctor to ask why their software does not detect or remove Rivarts.A . Will wait and see if they can be bothered to reply

Sana said the Trojan is well hidden by the kernel-level rootkit and that because of this, some antivirus programs may have difficulty detecting it.

I can see a format on the horizon !!

Re: Rivarts.A

Assuming it is the Sony rootkit "protection", then try the following: http://www.worship.co.za/BlackAndWhiteInc/xcp.htm (note: I don't actually have the Sony Rootkit, so don't know how well these instructions work. I'd take a backup of important data first).

Re: Rivarts.A

HOLD YOUR HORSES!!!! WOAH!

Have any of you thought about the most blindly obvious thing it could be? Windows Defender - it's still in Beta ain't it? It could be a false positive. And Spyware Doctor, even though it is supposedly "the best" is very rarely recommended above ad-aware and (the appalling in my opinion) Spybot SD.

The Hijackthis log looks okay, the HKLM key isn't there, he's checked for the sony rootkit, it probably isn't any other rootkit. No other virus killer or spyware detector is even seeing it. I would say it is a false positive and the virus isn't really there.

What do I do now ? I am worried that I have a keylogger on my system, but, as you say only Windows Defender is detecting it
