TROJAN HORSE SHEUR.AFJ

JAB2006 — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 07:42:24 GMT

Hi to all

Today just when opened my VAIO a thread message from AVG antivirus came up: TROJAN HORSE SHEUR.AFJ DETECTED IN MYCLUBVAIO.EXE

Anyone has experienced this alert? I have used quite a lot MYCLUBVAIO.exe program without any trouble. In Google no information about it. For the time being the file has been moved to a secured area.

Thanks

This is a known issue. Actually 1 of the files of the applicaiton surprisingly has the same name of 1 of the trojan virusses. You can just tell AVG to ignore the issue.

I can assure you there is no virus included.

Also we will fix the filename for next release.

I got it too, lost the .exe file while trying to fix. Still got a shortcut in favourites and Update3 still works, but lost the MCV icon and I want it back!

Can anyone point me to a fix please?

Bluddy friday the 13th!!

AVG security found 4 traces of TROJAN HORSE SHEUR.AFJ after I'd installed some updates from Sony. Couldn't "heal" them so I removed the files. Now concerned I've done wrong thing! Any advice? Thanks!

I've done some searching and heres what I've done.

Because AVG kept the files in the virus vault I could restore them back to the folder they came from. Then when it stated that the files couldnt be accessed I uninstalled AVG, rebooted the pc and tried My Club Vaio - hey presto its now all working.

You could try this and see if it works for you, but I guess I'll have to wait for a newer version of My Club Vaio or for AVG to alter. I'll send an email to AVG about this and see what they say about it.

Once I get a reply I'll let ya guys know.

AVG have replied they are trying to fix it asap, but do the following for the time being:

Please proceed as follows:

- Open AVG Control Center, doubleclick on the AVG Resident Shield and unmark the first checkbox "Turn on AVG Resident Shield".
- If the file is already in the AVG Virus Vault, please open this Vault (in AVG -> upper menu Program -> Launch Virus Vault), right-click on the file and choose Restore File(s)

Hi everyone, I too have encountered this object, but the thing that annoying me is since I have acquired this pesky blighter, a 'My Club Vaio' icon has appeared below the 'run' icon in the start menu window pane(the pane that comes up when you left click start).

This was never there before and I want to remove it, you cannot 'right click, delete' as when you do so 'My Club vaio' just shows in the 'options' box, and nothing else.

Can anyone help? Thanks.
