Backdoor.Messa.Gen Found, but can't remove


Recommended Posts

Malwarebytes finds Backdoor.Messa.Gen in a number of files (see below). I do a remove all, reboot as directed, and they are still there on the next scan.

I can't find very little info on this. I have searched for the "limewire.exe" files and can't find them anywhere on my drive. Is this a dangerous trojan, a false positive, etc? Any help would be much appreciated. As instructed, the dds files (and the MWB log are attached.

Welcome to the forum.

I highly suggest you uninstall Yontoo 1.10.02

Here's why:

You haven't fixed anything:

Please Update and run a Quick Scan with MBAM, post the report.

Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.

Thanks for your help. I had ran MBAM several times. It always finds the files, I select all and remove selected, than restart (per MBAM instructions). Once I restart, they are there again (see log below. I have not removed and restarted again). I just finished a quickscan, after remove and restart, and they are there again. As I said, I've looked for those limewire.exe files and they are not found on my machine (at least not the way I'm searching). Any ideas what's going on?

Thanks for the advice on Yontoo. I'll see if Spybot S&D can remove it. MBAM does not flag it.

OK, this is strange. I removed and restarted, ran another quick scan, and it came back clean. Just to check, I restarted again and ran another scan, and low and behold, it's back. When I restarted that second time, I got a message that said windows could not load my local profile. I hard booted, and it loaded OK. One other observation is that it is very slow to fully bring up my desktop. Log follows:

It did ask me to reboot. When I restarted, the OTL dialog popped up. When I ran it, it popped up the log file in notepad. See below:

Id'd them again. I did remove all, but haven't restarted. Maybe irrelevant, but MBAM crashed on my first attempt at rerunning this time.

I was out of town yesterday and just had a chance to check and, unfortunately, MBAM still finds the problem. See below.

As you can see, none of those files are on the system:

Searching for "limewire.exe"

No files found.

The system is clean as far as I can see.

I don't know why MB is showing that.

Is this the Pro version of MB with real time protection (you paid for this)

Let me know, MrC
