Hi there,
Whilst Sophos is able to quarantine and "cleanup" infections such as .exe's, .dll's and .htm i've unfortunately been infected with a Troj/ZbotMem-A that resides within my memory. Sophos suggests a manual removal, and whilst i've managed to manually remove items Sophos has not been able to remove itself before, I am not entirely sure how to clean my memory or the infected "explorer.exe" in my system files without causing collateral damage.
As a university student using sophos on a desktop i don't exactly have a system administrator to turn to.
Sophos lists this as a low threat, but symantec lists the damage as high, and currently sophos is running well into over 2 thousand cleaned/removed infected files.
Also what worried me is that the virus/trojan has gotten to my registry as well so i imagine it's going to perform some nasty business on startup too. What was also worrying was that Windows Firewall blocked an attempting breach of security that tried to come through my media player. I suppose it still got onto my system though...
I guess i should end this post already so i can get some responses about this little devil.
Grahame.
