.:Getting rid of Trojan Horses:.

[MLibid]

Can someone please help me? I have a really good friend and her computer is messed up with trojans. She's tried AVG and she has tried many spyware programs. (She claims to have though...)Anyways... can someone help me help her and give me advice on getting rid of trojan horses? She has apparently more than one trojan.Thanks.-Please try and keep threads like this out of General Discussion, it has been moved to Off-Topic, this article is irrelevent to football discussion. Thanks. JHair

firstly you should download avg's free antivirus.its at grisoft. next if you have windows m.e it is quite easy to get rid of the trojan horses.run avg and it will heal ALMOST all the files.you will then be left with a file of the trojan (or several files depending on which it is) in your restore file.make a note of the numbers that avg comes up with these will be cpy files.then you will need to unhide all hidden files. this will result in showing your restore file DO NOT DELETE THIS FILE... next right click my computer.then right click properties.click the performance tab.at the bottom of that page click the file system tab.on the next page click troubleshooting.then on the final page find the disable restore file and check the box and click apply.you will then need to restart your computer.it might start in safe mode but usually M.E starts straight up.before looking for the files by hand open my computer then open c drive and right click on the restore file you will be presented with a chance to scan again with avg do this and you will probably find the trojan has automatically been deleted of not you will have to search for the files by hand and delete them. this sounds like a a lot of work but it only takes about 5 mins from start to finish once you have avg installed.i get trojans as reguler as clockwork and find this is as easy a way as any to get rid of them again.for other malware i suggest "spybot search and destroy 1.2" this gets rid of spyware and also CWShredder for any other annoying little problems.all three can safely be run side by side and all are free for home users.hope this helps some of you at least.

If it wont let you on, get on safe mode at the beginning, and also DOWNLOAD Hijack This. And find the file infected with the Trojan and delete it or fix it.
