Hi
i ahve been the victim of a copy of mcaffe antivirus which has a poison ivy based trojan infecting it.
i have surmised this from the appearance of either iexplore.exe or firefox.exe in the task manager list straight after mcaffe autoruns the installer. after some research it seems that this is a classic example of a hidden process for the poison ivy trojan or similar ones.
i have run HJT and will paste the log file below.
can you please advise what to do next? ie should i just format or continue and clean? also are there any ways of detecting this trojan as it doesnt seem to show up on anti spyware or any antivirus.
HJT log attached
