Hi. I was just informed on my computer that I have a trojan horse virus.. At the moment im trying two things to get rid of it, but I'm not sure of their results yet. Does anyone know anything about this virus or how to get rid of it? Anyone at all?? computer pros, newbies to computers, ANYONE? thank you so much :o

Hi Blondie,

Last time I had this problem I went to us.mcafee.com and they told me how to solve it. Just "free" scan your computer or do a research with the virus name and they tell you step by step how to get rid of it! Good Luck!

I would download this:

http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php

It's a free anti virus program, I have it on mine, and it's great, you should be able to download it, then scan and get rid of that virus, if I hadn't dowloaded it when I did awhile back, I would have lost everything, cause it detected a virus I had gotten in a program.

These two are programs to get rid of spyware and stuff. It should get rid of trojans.

I do not know much about that stuff, but I guess "AntiVir XP" is pretty good.

I have the AVG antivirus program too (the one you can download from http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php) and it's really better than NORTHON, it also works as 'firewall' .. last week I was searching trhoug a site and a 'dialer' virus was detected by AVG just the moment it attached my computer, and I was able to delete the virs immediatly... so download this one, it may take a whyle, but after you can update it also every day.. I update mine once a week... it's really good...

WOW
Thank yu all for your help! I have restored my computer to a few days ago, so the virus is gone, and I hope it won't come back. I realized that I had obtained it from my email, or so this is what Norton Anti Virus told me, unfortunetely it couldn't get rid of it, but I think it's gone for now and under quarantine, that file. i will download the programs that you have all told me about if they are Free
thank you sooo much everyone
