A virus that deletes Anti Virus software?

I think you are talking poop bud.

You cant even un-install Norton without using removal tools.

Whats the name of the virus & prove me wrong please.

Dude. I had de same pro but its simple. If you removed it on yr pc and its still on yr phone. Don't connect it until u downloaded an application called mobyExplorer.jar on yr phone, u can get it on se-club.org if you want. Den go to yr memory stick drive on de application. You'll see sum unusual files. Go to deir properties and uncheck de hidden and read only options. And delete. Simple as that.

De virus is likely to be brontok. Yo dude, on yr pc do ctrl+alt+del and under processes. Check if there's a process named tazebama, if there is. Always on boot up. Do this procedure. On de tazebama name. Right click it and click end process tree. Most anti viruses fail wit this so you hav to do it manually.

if you have formatted the memory card and master reset the phone (not a settings reset), then there is no where left for the virus to hide other than on the computer itself. If it comes back again as soon as you use the phone as a modem, it means you have a rootkit or something on the pc that pulls the virus back down off the net as soon as you connect.

You said yourself - you don't get the virus back until you connect to the net.
besides when you use the phone as a modem it's not in mass storage mode so it's impossible for a virus to be copied to the mem card or the phone. Viruses only copy to network shares or removable storage.


The phone is not the problem. Your computer is.
