Was wondering why my compy was so slow considering it's a new machine and was running like a dream for the first couple of weeks so I as fiddling around with it to get it to sped up and when I ran msconfig I found a trojan. I disabled it from start-up but I know it needs to go permenantly...wondering how to do this. Also I have anti virus on my machine but wondring if I need spybot also? Can anyone help? Cheers.

trojan
Hiya
My neighbour had trojan on his computer. Kids got something in via MSM Message
My son put on Anti-Malware program for them & it found 35 trojans.
He put computer into safe mode & ran it that way to clear the system.
Somebody on here might know about doing it in safe mode & explain better.

Hi,
1) First download and run ccleaner. CCleaner - Home
2) Turn off system restore
3) download and do full scan of SUPERAntiSpyware.com - AntiAdware, AntiSpyware, AntiMalware!
4 ) download spybot and run it The home of Spybot-S&D!
5) Then do a full onlinescan here Free Virus Scan - Kaspersky Lab
6) to make sure you can do another scan
Trend Micro HouseCall - Free Online Virus and Spyware Scan - Trend Micro UK
After all that you should be clean, if not give me a shout
Hope this helps you out
