Forums mIRC Help MIRC planted by a Trojan?

It appears that mIRC 5.7 has been planted on one of my systems through a Trojan type hack. It is installed and functioning, but the program filenames must be altered so that I cannot find it to remove it.

Only the main exe file must be installed since all the help files and documentation files are absent. I tried installing mIRC 6.0 and then uninstalling which I thought would remove the 5.7 files. However, the 5.7 file(s) are installed under unknown name(s).

Perhaps there is a specific line of code in the 5.7 program files which I can search for on my system to find the location of the exe file.

Can anyone suggest a way to find the mIRC file(s) so that I can remove them? Help!

There have been a few posts about this, so rather than repeating what has already been suggested, use the search feature at the top of the page, using the word 'trojan' as your search term, all dates, all forums. You should be able to see which ones are relevant to you from the thread titles. Good luck.

sounds like some variant of gtbot.
look here for more info.

Using SWAT IT, and Symantec's web based scanner, I located three files associated with the Trojan use of mIRC. Independently, I identified mIRC 5.7 disguised under the filename taskmngr.exe which looked like the legitimate taskmgr.exe. I removed taskmnger.exe and the problem was solved.

Read this thread please, to be sure you get rid of all the files in the payload.
