Windows 7: How do you remove bloodhound.pdf.8

BarTmaN · 27 Sep 2010

Norton has quarantined it but I think it is replicating because there are more and more every week or so. Does anyone know how to get rid of this trojan?

It's supposedly a trojan that tries to do malicious things by the means of security holes in Adobe's Acrobat reader.
Symantec says Update your scan strings and run a full scan.

HERE you'll find a (huge) list of points in case you'd like to remove it manually:

But I would just give Malwarebytes a try (according to their website it's able to deal with bloodhound.

Okay I will try the malwarebytes. Will the free version do a full in-depth scan though?

SledgeDG · 27 Sep 2010

yep..I believe the only difference is, that the free version doesn't do "on the go" scanning )or whatever you want to call it.
Edit "What I meant was real time protection"

Okay thank you! I have it scanning now. Hopefully this will remove it.

Don't forget to use the updater so you have all the latest bug ID's.
They update it every day.

Yep I updated it. If this doesn't work is there a way I can just manually delete it? When Norton says it quarantined it, it tells me that it is in C:\Users\My Name\AppData\Local\Temp. And an example of one of the file names is DWH1C67.tmp

And DANG there's a lot, Norton keeps quarantining them.

BarTmaN · 27 Sep 2010

Okay, I will try those now, thanks. This thing is multiplying like crazy! The temp folder is getting bigger and bigger filled with these .tmp files..

BarTmaN · 27 Sep 2010

Norton Power Erase did not find any risks. I will try that hitman pro one now.
