Hard to kill 2 ~ "The nightmare came true"
Friday, September 1, 2006 by TYCUS | Discussion: Windows XP
Nope.., the topic is not refering to a movie..., this is the second part of my Hard to kill thread in which i make some recommendations in how to kill some annoying bugs from your pc, but this time i'm gonna talk about what happen to my pc three days ago...
This all began at 8:00 pm., when i was playing Halo on multiplayer mode, during the game i notice that it was getting kinda slow, like if my video card was goin to crash., so i get out of the game but without closing it and then i press Control + Alt + Supr to see what's goin on, and then i notice that a .tmp file was running at the same time as Halo, so i close it, but for doing this, Halo also close down(and i think.., what the?), so i try to find out if this .tmp file was a spyware or rather a virus, unfortunately it was like a Trojan malware (sry guys.., i missed the file name
), the thing with this bug was that even if i delete it, it came back, so i try to find out the real origin of this file. I do this: start my pc in safe mode, make a deep scan looking for any spyware using Ad-Aware.., but it didn't find a thing, so try with the tough guy "Spysweeper" and yes, this antispy find it and delete it, but that wasn't the end.., it seems that this Trojan file did damage many things from my system, i start having error pages when i try to use Opera, i couldn't even use some programs like 3ds max(..i dont know why), so i try to find out if this junk file infect my pc with a virus using BitDefender, but nothing! nothing at all...
Zone Alarm Pro, BitDefender and even Ad-Aware got defeted by a Trojan Horse file, my worst nightmare came true...
So yesterday i try something risky, i uninstal Zone Alarm and BitDefender, and try my old anitvirus software: "Panda Platinum", and yea!(..ehem), Panda find "35" unidentified files that could be a risk to have them, so i delete them and finaly i make a second deep scan with Spysweeper and with Panda, and this time they didn't find a thing at all! My system is ok right now, i try Halo again and everything is ok ones again.
My only warning to you is, never trust on your fire wall or your antivirus.., BitDefender and Zone Alarm seems to be the best security softwares, but they got defeted.
Hey! i can do a movie with this!
...just kidding.

Actually, the .tmp file you located (was it by any chance named ~f1d055.tmp?) shouldn't be anything malicious at all. It is well known to appear while Halo is running, and apparently the game 'uses' this file. Nothing to get suspicious about.
