Trojan Horse help needed

If you are PC savy then take your drive out of this PC and install it as a slave drive in another XP PC then copy the required file from the good drive to the virused drive. Then move the drive back to its original unit.

If I were you I'd reformat then get Achronis so you can make a disk image of a fresh install. It won't really help with your virus but the next time you have a problem you can just restore the disk image and you will be up and running in 10 minutes. This system works best if you have a 2nd hard drive to store the disk image on.

I will back up the advice about a rebuild, Trojans are notorious about being able to re-install themselves. It will give you a piece of mind that you know it won't come back to haunt you.

Kaspersky is one of the best AVs around and Avast get's a lot of positive feedback aswell.

Interesting comments - I've used free AVG for years without an issue. It's caught any number of infection attempts and cleared them for me. It does come up with the occasional false positive but they clear pretty easily too.

I've not had this particular type of Trojan horse though.

I second the idea of Acronis - I used it on both my machines until the Mac arrived. It is fast and easy to use and comes with a try and decide function that will protect your system if you want to try a download you're not totally comfortable with - if you don't want to keep it Acronis just reverts your system to before the install.

never liked removing them, always been a Format C: guy with trojans and virii

backup all critical files onto another drive, format, install fresh OS, put AV on and then scan the backed up files

And : "How do I get help? And who is helping me?"

I had a trojan about a year ago and I also couldn't delete it because it was always running in Windows. I pull out the hard drive and installed it in another computer as a slave drive. Since the windows files on the infected HD didn't load the trojan also didn't load. I navigated to the Windows System32 folder and deleted all the newest files and then ran a virus scan. Then I reinstalled the drive and reloaded with no problems.

Now I have an old laptop drive in my PC with an adapter) as my C drive with Windows XP. The Windows loads from my D drive (previously infected PC drive). I got a trojan again, and immediately shutdown the PC are rebooted with the C drive & Windows XP and delete the infection on the D drive.
