Can anyone help me out?
I have discovered i have the Trojan Horse virus on my computer and i cant get rid of it. I had E Trust security which has expired so am currerntly using the AVG free edition. The AVG has picked it up and enables me to 'qaurantine' the virus, however it cant heal or remove it. I have found the location of the virus, it was within the WIN32 directory on my C drive so i deleted it, but it seems to have moved again and the AVG scanner keeps picking it up each time i turn on my computer.
There is a link here on MSE with links to free virus scans, i have used every single one of them and none pick up the virus.
I have downloaded a trojan horse removal tool, which also doesnt pick it up either, its really getting on my nerves now, and my pc seems really slow.
Can anyone help me out?
Cheers, Ste
