Charter Member 2011
ok so i've got this trojan that my anti virus (zone alarm) keeps picking up, its called Trojan.Win32.Powp.fwy and its always "setup.exe". The annoying thing is is that so far its been in a different folder every sodding time, the ones it had are:

windows\temp\tbwd.tmp\
windows\temp\xtvu.tmp\
windows\temp\cjno.tmp\
windows\temp\nhjo.tmp\
windows\temp\jffb.tmp\
windows\temp\sfos.tmp\

my AV quarinties it as soon as its noticed but occosnialy my browser does open a new window leading to some random search engine .... but only when IE is currently open.

And yes, virus scan/rootkit scan/spyware scan/malware scan all come back clean. Used Zone Alarm, Spybot S&D and Malwarebytes anti malware

Any ideas?
 
My suggestion here would be to stop using IE also,I moderate a large forum and download and upload a ton of stuff from,lets say,places where you can pick up a lot of unwelcome guests.I run Firefox and scan my 4 computers with Avast and Malwarebytes about every 2 weeks.

The only thing I find are tracking counters for a particularly nasty pop up that is on 1 site,Firefox is much more secure in my opinion.Glad you got it fixed.:jump:
