Indoctrination This trojan is another email password sending trojan , it sends cached and recorded passwords to the hackers email address , also can send system information etc . It is pretty hard to remove but it isn't impossible , the reason for it being so difficult to remove is that it makes 5 different registry entries which each have to be removed before the trojan is fully removed from the infected system .
To remove this trojan follow these steps : Click Start, and go to Run. In the box, type regedit and click OK. When regedit starts, you will see a file-like tree on the left hand panel. Open the folders to follow the path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\ Click on 'Run' and the right-hand panel will change. Look for the first item titled: Msgsrv16 ="Msgsrv16" Right click on Msgsrv16 and choose Delete. Next, repeat with the following key paths: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices\ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce\ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServicesOnce\ HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\ Each will contain the same Msgsrv16 ="Msgsrv16" line, which you should delete from each. Close regedit and reboot your PC to remove the trojan from memory. After the reboot, use Windows Explorer to delete the trojan file at: C:\windows\system\msgserv16.exe Don't delete msgsrv32.exe as this is a true windows program.
