Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / February 2005OTP: Do Trojans have a shelf-life?
Our trojan horse is gone. Either it had a shelf-life or one of our regular anti-virus updates ate it. We had been turning the computer off from 7-9 PM every night (the time the Trojan started hitting the computer) and had no problems except for those two hours. Now the virus protection software is not detecting it and a scan of the files does not find it. Just wondered if malicious stuff comes with a shelf-life.

DeeTee, did you quarantine the trojan? Was that Eastern time? I've noticed that I'm getting some weird stuff, and not going to "unknown" sites, so I'm a bit curious. It's possible that if you quarantined the trojan, that the quarantine has a "shelf life", I know mine does (I *think* it's 30 days on McAfee).

Me, too! Cindy R. Nope - couldn't do anything with it. And, Diane, it never occurred to me that trojan was also something else. I guess I'm just getting old.

Was your firewall popping up an alert that someone was trying to look for a known trojan port open on your computer? If so, that does not mean that you had a trojan program installed, only that someone was port scanning for anyone in your ip range that might have a certain program on a certain open port.

At 7:00 PM sharp every night, Norton would give warnings that we had a virus (about every 20 seconds). It usually quit about 8:20ish, so we just shut down between 7:00 and 9:00 PM. We do a complete deep scan twice a week. For a long time it would tell us about the virus and say that it could not isolate, quarantine or delete it. We tried manually several times and couldn't delete the file. Yet, out of the clear blue, it stopped. The virus scans no longer found it, when we did a deep scan of the file, it couldn't find it, and the alerts quit. That's why I thought maybe it had a shelf-life of some sort.

What version of norton are you using and is it mspmspv.exe or mspmspsv.exe? If it's the former, it could be this virus: http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/trojchumb.html If it does turn out to be this, I can assist further with finding you removal instructions as well as recommending a good trojan horse scanning program that, unlike most virus scanners, is dedicated solely to trojan and variant detection as well as being staffed by real people that respond to enquiries: http://tds.diamondcs.com.au/ Ari Signaturespammage trappage: replace fishies_ with yahoo I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like.
