How can you get rid of the psw agent h virus and the psw agent briss c virus?

1. Run a search on the computer for a file called sysupd.exe . 2. Open My Computer, and browse to the folder that contains the file. 3. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del, and click on Task Manager. 4. Look on the bottom of the Task Manager window to see how many process are running, ex (Process:15) 5. Find sysupd.exe and stop it. likely it will keep starting it self over. 4. Keep looking for it and stopping it, until the number of process' go down by one. Once you reach this point you only have a few second until it restarts, so be quick. 5. Switch to the window where sysupd.exe is located and quickly remove it. 6. Once sysupd.exe has been removed, then you can remove the main file _UPDATE.DAT which will be found somewhere in Documents and Settings. (If you cannot find it run a search for it) 7. Run AVG again to make sure the Trojan is gone.

Answer

I fought this horse for a long time and here's what I finally did to get rid of it: 1. download the kill.exe utility 2. create the following bat file: kill sysupd.exe del /F c:\winnt\sysupd.exe copy c:\winnt\notepad.exe c:\winnt\sysupd.exe 3. run this script from a command prompt over and over until the file sysupd is switched to notepad 4. now the damn horse is gone and you can successfully remove its data file (_update.dat) located somewhere under 'documents and settings'
