Spyware Issues

[RucHee]

Ok, so, I have this file in my processes that I am almost 100pct sure is a trojan / keylogger. There are actually 2... Wgahost.exe, and win32udt.exe... Once i end the process, it comes back instantly... I have done a full system scan for the files, and neither of them were found. Any ideas on how to rid of these 2 files if they arent even found? Thanks.

WIN32UDT.EXE = Malware.Trojan.Backdoor.Gen

You've done a full scan with what program(s)? First you should run CCleaner. Now try a Kaspersky online scan and a SUPERAntiSpyware scan and post the results. You can also post a HJT log afterwards and someone will review it.

Also, try some of the free AVs out there.

AOL's free antivirus is basically Kapersky, which is the #1 rated antivirus right now.

Antivir is also nice and lightwieght. AOL screwed up my comp when I installed it, and I was too lazy to mess with it, so I use AntiVir.

Adaware and spybot might also pick it up

For future protection I recommend one of the above antiviruses, Adaware + Spybot, a decent firewall (ZoneAlarm or Comodo) and Spyware Blaster. You have to update it manually, but it effectively immunizes all common browsers against spware attacks.

If possible, backup and restore your pc works everytime and is the only real way to get rid of a virus

Also look at Microsoft's Windows Defender - free - and if it is running in background, you should never get such malware.
