But I have a Trojan now...Its giving me a icon on my smaller tool bar thing (next to clock) It repetedly tells me I have a security alert and when i click on it it takes me to a site wanting me to download more viruses. How do I get the trojan off? I have AVG and Windows Defender on trying to detect it, but is there a manual way?

Please note, this is a reasonably risky process if you're not sure which process to delete!  So be careful if you try this. Another option is to back up all of your personal data onto external media and use your XP disc to wipe your hard drive and reinstall Windows.  Sounds pretty drastic, but you get a very fast, shiny new PC out of it.  I do it fairly regularly just to keep my computer as fast as possible. bigredron Posted at 6:41 pm on Oct. 30, 2008 stop lookign at porn LOL. do a system restore to an earlier date to when u noticed the problem, and then download spybot search and destroy and adaware and scan the shit out of your system. Keego05 Posted at 6:40 pm on Oct. 30, 2008 Seems like it's just a worm which can be a bitch to get rid of. SpyBot S&D should be able to handle it though. kjm55 Posted at 6:40 pm on Oct. 30, 2008 no unless you know exactly which file the trojans coming from. try deleting your temporary internet files/browsing history etc Texas Guy Posted at 6:39 pm on Oct. 30, 2008 Post from this position was omitted due to content violations All 7 previous replies displayed.
