    Hiya,

    I've found 2 viruses on my PC, they are Win32:trojan-gen
    and my son's so far is win32:neptunia-yo

    Do i move them to the chest or delete them please?

    I know it's probably easier just reformatting both machines, but i've got loads on mine and so has my son so it would have to be the last option.

    As we share a network, is there anyway i can stop his pc passing stuff to mine (sorry not techie terms!lol ) ?

    This is the second time this has happened with him DL viruses and not looking after his PC (regular spyware checks etc) Honestly either going to take it off him or get something like a net nanny (he's 13) Do you think that's fair, or me being cranky at spending my whole day off trying to sort it out lol x

    Move them to chest for the time being just to be safe.

    Can you post a Hijackthis log for both of the computers.

  • So you would never recommend using Ad-Aware and Spybot as superantispyware finds everything they do? From what i have read in lots of places they normally recommend more than 1 spyware scanner :confused:

    No program is 100%, but I do find SuperAntispyware finds what those programmes do and more, it is also update more often and therefore you have the latest definitions.

    I agree, I have in the past recommended more than one scanner but generally under supervision.

    I am not disagreeing with you but merely offering an alternative.
