    Get the following software, all free, from the links below. Get them from a clean computer onto a flash drive. Now boot your computer into safe mode (hold f8 key while booting up). Run each from safe mode. This works in most cases.

    trojan horse computer virus
    About trojan horse computer virus,This blog is about Computer Technology ,Not’s about best games for ipod touch.
    Here you can choose to skip this, because not is trojan horse computer virus,But meaningfulA boaster and a liar are cousins-german.You cannot eat your cake and have it.God made relatives; Thank God we can choose our friends. Choose an author as you choose a friend..Doing is better than saying.。!!

    Q&A–: Computer trojan horse/virus problems…?
    On my desktop, it is extremely slow to boot. When I used avast to see if it could delete the problem, it needed to restart, however, it said that i did not have administrator privileges even though I was using my only XP account. So then I tried going online to Trend Micro Housecall. A few ads pop up, and when Housecall starts scanning, my computer WILL NOT stop displaying pop-ups and my computer crashes. I use the Windows OneCare online check, and the same problem occurs. When each set of ads pop up, avast detects a trojan horse that it can’t delete. Should I use a system restore?

    Turn off System Restore. Reboot in Safe Mode by continually pressing F8 during boot. Now run your anti virus and anti spyware. If now all clear, turn on System Restore. Good luck.

    VIRUS REMOVAL:

    this is a realll P.I.A. !!!

    THE 1ST PART YOU NEED TO DO offline:
    run anti-virus program
    run anti spyware program
    shut down System Restore
    clear cookies
    clear temp files
    clear history
    clear pre-fetch folder
    clear out ALL emails starting at 2-3 days ago or when you 1st knew you were infected in:
    ALL folders
    sent
    trash
    junk

    bookmarks or favorites folder in I.E. or Firefox

    as you can see,there’s QUITE a bit of work ahead of you.

    shut down System Restore:
    virus/spyware can hide in your system restore points so we shall delete all previous restore links hiding places by turning system restore OFF.
    later,when we finish,we’ll turn it back on,set up a new [ CLEAN ] restore to work from in the future.
    hopefully,lol,you’ll never need it !

    XP Home:

    start
    all programs
    accessories
    system tools
    system restore
    settings
    drive [c]
    settings
    check the OFF link

    VISTA:

    start
    control panel
    performance and information tools
    open disk clean up
    select o.s. [c]
    select more options
    select system restore and shadow copies
    select clean up

    XP Home & Vista:
    start
    control panel
    internet options
    general
    clear cookies
    clear temp files
    clear history
    and set history days to keep to 0

    clear temp files
    not all your temp files will be removed so easily,so we need to do this manually as well.
    start
    my computer [ or just computer in Vista ]
    windows
    temp
    file
    click each file and delete

    Clear Pre-Fetch Files
    start
    my computer [ or just computer in Vista ]
    windows
    prefetch
    file
    select all
    press delete key on keyboard

    empty recycle bin

    run anti-virus and anti-spyware programs again

    when your protection programs find any pirates,DELETE them,do NOT quarantine !!

    should you NOT have ANY protection programs installed:
    Avast–anti-virus
    AD Aware–anti-spyware
    Spyware Blaster–anti-spyware blocker
    Rootkit Revealer–anti-rootkit
    Arovax
    PC Tools Firewall–firewall to replace MS’s deficient firewall [ turn that sucker OFF ! ] and replace with above.

    replace windows firewall with PC Tools firewall
    install Arovax protection and choose protection for internet explorer if you use it,firefox if you use that or opera if you use that
    install spyware blaster and set for internet explorer and/or firefox protection

    should you choose to install Firefox web browser [ and you SHOULD ]
    here are some Firefox Security Extensions to install
    CallingID Link Advisor
    Finjan Secure Web Browsing
    No Script
    Dr. Web
    SafeDownloads

    Spy Sites

    Stop Web Sites from installing Spyware, Sleazeware and Cookies on your PC

    SpySites includes a database of over 4,600
    known Spy/Sleaze sites and guides you
    through the simple process of including them in
    Internet Explorer’s Restricted Zone and setting policies
    to prevent them from performing intrusive acts on your PC.
    By setting the policies for the Restricted
    sites zone to a very high level of security,
    you can be assured that any web sites added
    to the Restricted sites zone cannot do
    certain things which could compromise your privacy
    and security such as installing and/or running:

    Pre-Fetch File Cleaning

    pre-fetch files are “cached” or stored copies of files/websites you visit each session
    after a period of time,these files hog up a LOT of disk space
    for this reason,i advocate the deletion weekly of those space hogs
    some claim that windows will automatically remove files older than 7 days
    I have found MY pc does NOT perform this task so I do it manually
    what happens is,when you go to a website,your pc looks into your pre-fetch file/folder
    to see if that website is “cached”,stored there FIRST
    this gives you a faster website load,BUT,you get the “cached” version and NOT the NEWEST version
    unless you have “check for newest version” checked in internet options
    it may take that website 1/2 a second longer to load
    but,you’ll get the newest version loading each time

    as added security,spyware removers often miss these files,so delete them manually.

    My Computer,disk drive [c],windows,pre-fetch,view,select… all,select delete

    same situation with Temp files:
    Temp File Folder

    i use Disk Clean to clean up extraneous files i no longer need
    however,every time i use Disk Clean,it DOESN’T clean out Temp Files!
    solution?
    My Computer,local disk drive [c],windows,temp
    you can safely delete each temp file there.
    i leave the most current [that day] alone.
    also,do not delete any FOLDER there
    folders have a folder icon,leave alone
    [ Vista,it's Computer ]

    Firefox Web Browser:
    tools
    options
    content
    check block pop ups

    load images automatically:
    exceptions:
    enter those websites addresses that show up on pop ups that appear AFTER you close a browser window
    also add those same urls to
    Privacy
    Cookies
    Exceptions

    there are a number of kewl Security add on firefox extensions i use and they are:
    CallingID link advisor
    Dr. Web [ link checker ]
    Finjan Secure Web Browsing
    No Script
    SafeDownload

    http://browseraddons.friendpages.com…

    IF you follow all the above suggestions,you’ll not have the Fort Knox of computers,but Dammed close !

    Answer by oct r
    Use some other software. Norton, AVG , Avast are free antivirus software. Ad-aware, Ewido are free spyware removers. You can download free softwares at nttp://fixit.in/antivirus.html and nttp://fixit.in/spywareremover.html
