Backdoortrojan...cant Get Rid Of It Help!

[BigDaddy555]

I have no idea where it came from, but I have a trojan on my computer that I cannot get rid of. Its called "newbackdoor1" Its sourse file is located in
{ C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\SYSOCM.exe\sysocm.exe } McAfee picks this up and the firewall blocks it from communicating, but it will not delete this file. I tried to delete the source file but it will not allow me to. I even tried finding the registry key, but I cant locate it. Any ideas? the good news is that it cant get around my firewall, the bad news is that it is outright irritating. I appreciate any feedback. Thanks!

A lot of AV's can't handle trojans, if they even find them. And Mc*f** is one of the worst software products.

Have you tried Spybot Search & Destroy. Google it. It handles a lot of trojans.

Also freeware is a relatively unknown & new trojan scanner & remover. Ewido security suite. http://www.ewido.net/en/

ewido is the best freeware trojan scanner & remover.

oh yeah, I have tried spybot and adaware. They do not pick it up.

Then try ewido.

DAMMMMMITT! I run "Ewido" and almost everything I have downloaded had some sort of worm. Im sure they were harmless or somekind of tracking system, but I just cant believe how many worms it picked up! (and actually removed them&#33 GREAT software! THANKS!

I guess your going to have to get rid of that piece of shit McAfee.

there are several files that ewido says could not read or something like that. Can these be deleted thru ewido, or will I just have to look up each directory and try to delete there?
