How to remove with advanced steps – BOOT.VBS, DXDLG.EXE,WPROXP.EXE trojan viruses

September 18th, 2008

From my previous posts, the recommended methods should do the trick for most generic and
straight forward Trojan viruses. However, some of these wproxp.exe, dxdlg.exe and boot.vbs
can be quite a pain in the neck and need a stronger dose of solution to get it right.

The advanced steps below require the use of Trend Micro which I used to eradicate it completely but the steps are quite complicated. As a precautionary step, you MUST own a copy of TrendMicro Internet antivirus software first. You may get one here so that the latest virus data file is there.

How to get rid of viruses your antivirus software can’t remove – WPROXP.EXE trojan virus

August 7th, 2008

My computer was infected with WProxp.exe and I used the Trend Micro antivirus software to find that out. However, it was only able to identify the files not able to get rid of it. The message information was that you  have to delete these files yourself but the antivirus software was not able to do that for you. They were able to quarantine some files but the WPROXP.EXE is a very virulent one and not going to go away so easily.

This is what I find out :

Do a disc cleanup, by following these easy steps:
1. Click on Start.
2. Go to Programs>>Accessories>>System Tools>>Disc Cleanup
Note: If disc cleanup is not present from the step above, kindly open My Computer, right-click the harddisk drive (for example: Local Disk (C:) and click on Properties. Disk Cleanup would be right at the bottom.
3. You will see that it will calculate for free space, so please wait.
4. Then, you’ll see a checkbox list. Please check all boxes.
5. Then, click on Ok.

This is the first step. Watch out for my next post if this step doesn’t do the trick.
