I am in the process of running a scan of my computer at this very moment with the free version of AVG 8.0.138, and the first item that has come up is the above Trojan horse Generic10.BHES. Further information is: C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application\Data\Adobe\Acrobat\7.0\Updater\AdbeRdr709_en\US.exe My computer is a Dell Precision M50 Mobile Intel[R] Pentium[R] 4 - M CPU 2.00GHz 1.99 GHz, 1.00 GB of Ram. The System is Microsoft WindowsXP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 2 I have Spybot on my computer, but I do not use it as I tend to rely on AVG sorting everything out. The rest of the scan is bringing up tracking cookies (YieldManger, Overture and Questionmarket). It is now scanning I use a wireless connection most of the time (library), but on other occasions it is a dial-up connection, that is when my SO uses it in the evenings. I am not in any way a computer expert! Thank you again. A |

It seems to me that this Trojan Horse is just the language pack of Adobe Acrobat, and doubt they have meant it to be a virus.
I've detected the same threat, but in 5 different languages. Hehe. I will have to do a better research to figure if it actually is a dangerous Trojan, but as I said before that I doubt it is a threat since it occurse to be just the languages you install to don't have to open Adobe in other language than what you are used to. I'll post more to this forum once I get to figure out more =) |

Angeline how is your computer running now? I recommend you keep MBAM and use it as part of your anti-malware toolkit. Spybot S&D is not enough.
Welcome to BC OldEggs If you have an issue or problem you would like to discuss, please start your own topic. Doing that will help to avoid the confusion that often occurs when trying to help two or more members in the same thread with different problems. Even if your problem is similar to the original poster's problem, the solution could be different based on the kind of hardware, software, system requirements, etc. you are using and the presence of other malware. Further, posting for assistance in someone else's topic is not considered proper forum etiquette. Thanks for your cooperation. Then post in the Am I infected? What do I do? forum. -------------------- "THE BAD GUYS DON'T NEED A SEARCH WARRANT. ARE YOU PROTECTED?"
