Do a complete scan (which may take an hour or more), and if it comes up with something, follow the removal instructions, and thenh run it AGAIN. Sometimes getting rid of malware is like peeling layers of an onion. If this last paragraph sounds like gibberish to you then it's best to have y our computer worked on by somebody with experience in this area because it' like BART-PE. If this last paragraph sounds like gibberish to you then it's best to have your computer worked on by somebody with experience in this area because it's easy to screw up the registry, and then you'd have to reinstall everything.

A trojan is something you wouldn't want pretending to be something harmless or that you might want (like the famous horse of Troy). It doesn't spread by file-infection. Malware is a shortening of "malicious software" and includes both the above and any other terms people use for this stuff. |
