| I'm curious to know if anyone has heard of a trojan called puper.dll, or
| something related to it.
|
| A few days ago my system got hijacked pretty badly -- Internet
| Explorerunusable, pop-up windows everywhere, and an endless string of McAfee
| alerts stating that puper.dll has been found and will be removed upon
| restarting the computer. If I restart, it comes back again. Spybot and
| Ad-Aware found nothing; McAfee kept finding the puper.dll trojan but did
| little else. Here's the really annoying part -- there were several new
| icons on my desktop with shields on them, saying things like click to
| update, click to delete spyware, and whatever. I was also getting pop-ups
| saying I had a virus, and to click to install software that will remove it.
| There was even a toolbar in Internet Explorer with these shields on them,
| inviting me to click to "fix" everything.
|
| I ended up taking the computer to the dealer. They cleaned it. When I got
| it back it was much, much better, but still not clean. There were still
| shields on the desktop, and after awhile I began to get those pop-ups again.
| However it was far better than before, and I was indeed able to use Internet
| Explorer.
|
| So I downloaded and installed Spy Sweeper. It found a BUNCH of trojans, and
| deleted them. Since then things have been far better -- no pop-ups, no
| hijacks, and those funny toolbars and shields -- after deleting them they
| didn't come back. That is, except for one. In the bottom right corner of
| my screen, there's a yellow shield that gives the message "Updates are ready
| for your computer. Click here to install these updates."
|
| Running Spy Sweeper again, I've found several PUP's, called dialer 257. I
| also occasionally get a McAfee message stating a trojan has been found and
| deleted -- you guessed it -- puper.dll.
|
| Is anyone familiar with this? Do you have a recommendation for getting rid
| of it?

Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --

To use this utility, perform the following...
Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close
Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }
NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your
FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files.
C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}
This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal Mode.
This way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor's web site.

You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you can
download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded the files
needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode [F8 key

Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode.
When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive PDF help
