Instructions for deleting W32/Badtrans-B and Troj/PWS-AV

SWBADTRB is a utility for deleting the W32/Badtrans-B worm and the Troj/PWS-AV Trojan. The worm infects most 32-bit Windows platforms (Windows 95, 98, Me, NT and 2000) and installs a copy of the Trojan. It does not affect any files already existing on the system. It can spread by sending out infected emails.

Download the SWBADTRB cleaning utility on an uninfected PC. This file is available for download as a self-extracting archive, badtrsfx.exe.

Read the SWBADTRB notes for instructions on how to use the SWBADTRB to delete W32/Badtrans-B and Troj/PWS-AV.
