Trojan Horse question, any one know this one, it showed up on my daughters computer today?


Trojan Horse question, any one know this one, it showed up on my daughters computer today?

You will get tons of responses for this, but I do this for a living.

A trojan horse is the most dangerous virus out there, and they are made to destroy whatever your using. Firstly, do NOT format your computer yet, instead, backup everything you have.

Secondly, go to download.com and download AVG antivirus free edition. Run a complete system scan; if this still does not remove the virus, I will assist you further. But these are the first steps I would take.

In the meantime, I would avoid any personal usage of the internet (credit card numbers, etc), most trojans have key loggers that transmit what keys are pressed for what websites.

Shoot me an email and I will help you further.

sure run spybot antivirus, should remove it or quarantine it

there abit tough to get ride of, the quick way out is just restore your system

AVG free anti virus is the best, and you can download it free.

Run Spybot, AVG and Adaware to get rid of it.

Use Spybot- Search and Destroy.. If you still have the Trojan I would suggest Formatting the Hard-Drive and then Re-Install the software. PM me if you need help. Good Luck

Run spybot, it will remove it for you.

You can download it here

To properly remove a Trojan Horse requires you to go into the Registry and, if it is a back door Trojan you will need to go into the system 32 folder which is part of the Operating System.
