    Backdoor:Win32/Pasur!rt <--- this is a 'backdoor Trojan' .... here's some information about this type of Trojan:

    These are the most dangerous, and most widespread, type of Trojan.
    Backdoor Trojans provide the author or ‘master’ of the Trojan with remote ‘administration’ of victim machines. Unlike legitimate remote administration utilities, they install, launch and run invisibly, without the consent or knowledge of the user. Once installed, backdoor Trojans can be instructed to send, receive, execute and delete files, harvest confidential data from the computer, log activity on the computer and more.

    If your computer was used for online banking or has credit card information on it, all passwords should be changed immediately to include those used for email, eBay and forums.
    You should consider them to be compromised.

    They should be changed by using a different computer and not the infected one, if not an attacker may get the new passwords and transaction information.
    Banking and credit card institutions should be notified of the possible security breech.

    ok this scan could take a few hours. Am I correct in thinking this backdoor trojan would have edited the webemtest configuration so I cant use it?

    I think I know the program the backdoor trojan was in. I deleted the folder that had the trojan. Also I never installed this program directly.

    It is now deleted from my recycle bin, and I would hope that microsoft security would not identify it on a full scan.

    Should I restore my system to about a week ago when the file was downloaded having deleted it now, run MSE and delete it in safe mode, or should I continue with what we are doing here which I assume is something like locating any rootkits.

    and thanks, so far this has helped me out alot.

    I think the scan could take 2 days.

    sounds good, anything to avoid re-installing because it would take me at least a week working full time to get back to how it 'was' running.

    thanks guys

    Once that is done run

    TDSSKILLER

    download link TDSSKiller

    Save to the Desktop

    Right-click the program and select


    When the TDSSKiller console opens, click on: Change Parameters
    Under Additional Options, place a check in the box next to: Detect TDLFS File System

    Click: OK


    Press: Start Scan


    If a suspicious object is detected, the default action is Skip, leave it as is, and click on: Continue
    If malicious objects are found, they show in the Scan results.
    Ensure Cure (the default) is selected, then click: Continue > Reboot now, to finish the cleaning process.
    (Note: If Cure is not available, select Skip, >>Do not select: Delete<<)


    When done, the tool outputs its log to the disk with the Windows Operating System, normally C:\


    Logs have a name like:
    C:\TDSSKiller.X.X.X_12.04.2013_15.31.43_log.txt


    Please post the TDSSKiller log in your reply.

    ESET will then download updates for itself, install itself, and begin scanning your computer. Please be patient as this can take some time.
    When the scan completes, click List Threats
    Click Export, and save the file to your desktop using a unique name, such as ESETScan. Include the contents of this report in your next reply.
    Click the Back button.
    Click the Finish button.
    Should I at any point delete what has been listed, will it give me that option. Sorry I should have this file soon. I cancelled two scans by mistake.

    It should delete the items it finds automatically if you followed the steps .
