Help remove trojan.fakealert.brg

First, your post is not on-topic for this forum. This is a firewalls newsgroup. I'm not sure which Indian forum is using this place as a dumping ground for general security questions, but that's probably why posts like this are ending up in the comp.security.firewalls newsgroup.

But the answer to your question is to rebuild your friend's machine from original optical media. Once you've been infected like this, you can toy around with removal tools, but at best you'll have a machine that functions again, yet you still can't entirely trust. At worst, you'll be out untold hours of chasing your tail, still be infected, and have introduced perhaps even more suspicious software to the system, able to see your data.

I wish I had better news.

Removal tools (or instructions for manual removal) are no solution to an infection, particularly not with malware that may download more malware or may give an attacker remote access. One can never be sure what else was modified on the system and thus can never be certain that the malware was removed entirely.

Yes. Unplug your friend's network cable, take backup of his important files, wipe the machine and do a complete reinstall.

Next time, don't let him browse the web on the administrator account.

By the way, has this _anything_ remotely to do with firewalls?

answer:you must use SUPERANTISPYWARE this can remove all type of malware viruses etc from your pc.i had tested it many times. you can download it from

Yes. Point your question to a suitable group. Any of the alt.*windows.* groups might suffice.

You just need to get a real operating system. Anyone who relies on 3rd party software to fix a compromised system don't know what they talk about. Only one thing to do: format your hard drive and reinstall the system, this time with the proper security patches applied before hooking it up on your network.
