What is troj_711sr-1?

cooky560 · 7th February 2003, 11:48

i borrowed disk from a mate the other day, and as usual, i scanned before using it, and apparently its now in the system restore folder of winME but has spread nowhere through my system (it has stayed trapped in a .cpy file) but my virus encyclopedia knows nothing about the virus..., does any one here no what it is and does?

binary hero · 7th February 2003, 11:51

it isn't a virus according to mcaffee.com

cooky560 · 7th February 2003, 11:54

the virus encyclopedia says "little is known about the requested virus"
i dont use mcafee is use trend pc-cillin

binary hero · 7th February 2003, 12:10

so won't that delete it then?

cooky560 · 7th February 2003, 12:15

it cant beacuse its trapped inside a .cpy file which used for system restore. Windows me counts these as "system files" which cannot be modified or deleted, or quarentined etc...

binary hero · 7th February 2003, 12:17

format, install win2k/xp. you'll be better off than with win me.

cooky560 · 7th February 2003, 12:31

i dont have a copy of win2k nor the cash to get one. i just want to know how dangerous it is thats all, it doesn't seem to have spread, or infected files. but will it do something stupid like hard disk format or boot sector erase?

binary hero · 7th February 2003, 12:41

it seems that you are one of the first people to get it - so nobody really knows.

cooky560 · 7th February 2003, 12:47

If it trapped inside cpy file and so far has not spread to any other files is it possbile its a dud version that he managed 2 get off the web?

Norton Anti-Virus 2003 w/latest updates knows nothing about it (at least it's not listed in the Virus List under 'T')

cooky560 · 11th February 2003, 07:17

It seems to have disappeared when i defragmented. until then it seems to modify system files as dr.watson says a module in it has altered system files.

Seems like it's been renamed to bkdr_711.svr

If its still present in one or more of the restore files, just delete them using the disk cleanup utility.

One small prob, windows millenium does not allow cleaning of system restore files, and you try to delete them it screws up the system

Infection in \Restore folder (Windows ME).

You can not remove infected files in \Restore folder. Follow these instructions to create
a workaround (no data will be lost):

Close all open programs. Then, right-click My Computer on the Windows desktop

Click Properties.

Click the Performance tab.

Click File System.

Click the Troubleshooting tab.

Check Disable System Restore.

Ok your way out.

Click Yes to restart. This disables the System Restore feature and will purge the contents
of the _RESTORE folder when the system is restarted.

After finishing the removal instructions, repeat steps 1 through 9, except in step 6,
choose: uncheck Disable System Restore.
