b.exe virus

[starwolf1336]

Well, i did a no no. I downloaded what i thought was a add-on for my world of warcraft game. I was playing and my FPS droped down to 10. I looked to see what was using up all of my resources and it was b.exe.

Looked in my start up properties and found Zagrebland. Which has never been there before. From what i read it executes the b.exe to launch at start up. I have my AVG professional running a virus scan to see if it will get rid of it. Anyone else have any ideas while i'm waiting for it to finish?

You can still run a shell extension scan with AVG. I don't know how many scans AVG can do at once, but I've gone to 3. You can scan that file like you said, and AVG will get rid of it. If it doesn't, do it the old fashion way and just delete it manually. (But I recommend use a program called something_shredder instead >.>

Well, the file is missing. When i double clicked on the exe file, it just disappeared. I've never had a file do that. I have done searches and cant find the files.

You should schedule your computer to do daily scans like mine. I do it for AVG 9.0

I scan about once a week, i downloaded that file today, which is when i noticed my game running really slow.

Did you download it from the official website? If you didn't, most cases come from un-official websites.

The official WoW website doesnt have the add-on downloads. YOu get most of the add-ons from curse.com. But i'm playing on a private server, so i needed a older edition of the add-on, which are kinda hard to find.

Well I don't play WoW, so I don't know much. >.>

Good luck to you, kudos! ^-^

Great news, that maleware program got rid of both the b.exe file and the Zagrebland start up program. Mega thanks to all of you for your help. Case closed

Good to see MalwareBytes win again...

I have a friend who cleans peoples computers along with other tech work and he says that malwarebytes and superantispyware are some of the best tools he uses. Superantispyware is included in the Hirens downloads.
