If this is not the proper topic forum please move my topic, thanks thumbup.gif

Recently I was infected by a trojan called "infostealer" so I updated my virus definition files and the softwares I'm using is Norton 2007 and Spyware Doctor. Thereafter, I was able to removed the trojan and the infected files. However, upon startup even before I removed the trojan this message would always appears...

I tried to remove the message by finding its entry in the regedit files by expanding both HKCLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\Run and HK_USERS\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\Run, however, the entry pertaining to netcmd.exe was not there. I also tried searching for it in the msconfig panel, still to no avail.
After reading most of the intructions above regarding windows startup program and the use of 'autorun.exe' file... I just want to ask a question whether using the program is safe to say at least?
Thanks smile.gif

hi there, hisuka2001, welcome to BC!

First off, sorry for the delay in getting you post answered, 10 days is way beyond our desired answer time, I'm sure.

As for you problem, the netcmd.exe(AKA Agobot.AQ) worm creates two registry entries whach call the netcmd.exe file at startup. Seeing as you've mentioned that you already attempted to edit the registry, I'm going to assume you know how to do it. Of course, always backup your registry before doing any editing!!

Delete the following two entries:
CODE
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Microsoft Network Command Service
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices\Microsoft Network Command Service
