Hi all,

i have the win32/Renos trojan, it creates an annoying icon in the system tray that pops up quite often its really annoying, i tried deleting it with windows defender but it appears again when i reboot, any help removing it would be appreciated. im running Vista 64bit.

thanks.

Berzerk.

Hi, you can try the online scans listed in the sticky 'Security Help Tools' near the top of all messages in this forum. Note that for some you have to pay to remove malware it finds, but its cheap ( I think my panda active scan cost me $29 ). And some like Kapersky, just lists out where they are so you can remove them yourself.

It is not a real virus but is difficult to remove:

Hi guys

ive tried numerous online scans, Eset security scans (in safe mode), spybot and windows defender scans, nothing seems to be able to delete it. yes i know its not a "real" virus but i dont have f-secure so that link is kinda useless to me,

sorry, please delete this thread, i posted in wrong section.

Spybot says it will remove it. have you used the newest version and updated it? And it is a real Trojan, not a fake.
If that didn't work try this one:
www.superantispyware.com update and do a complete scan.

hi again

my version of spybot is 1.5.2 i think that is the latest one, yeah i checked spybots scanning info and it says "scanning renos" but for some reason its not detecting it, maybe i have a similar trojan im not sure. anyway ill try superantispyware thanks for the tip.

update on this, superantispyware (cant believe this is better than my payed for eset antispyware) has done the trick , no more annoying popup, the strange thing is it appeared in the quarantine as "Braviax", but windows defender showed it as Win32/Renos, ah well im just glad it's gone lol. thanks for the help!.

It is probably the best spyware program around...you can buy the paid version for $19.99, just watch for it when you are doing the updates and then you can set it to run in background and do updates and scans on schedule.
