Trojan Pakes.

MissMoneypenny

My aunt just phoned to say that when she went to her pc last night, AVG had a warning of her files infected with Trojan Pakes. She said that AVG offered her a couple of things to do, but it didn’t remove this Trojan. She shut the pc down.

Is there a removal tool for this Trojan; or should she do something with AVG to remove this? I don’t use AVG, so I don’t really know what is offered.

Thanks.

Many thanks both of you.

A full scan on AVG this morning seem to clear it: although the Trojan pakes warning came up again during that scan; with only 4 infected files instead of the 7 it found yesterday. The scan then finished and said it was clear. Ran full scan again, and nothing detected.

I assume that the pc is clear now and no need to run the above; or is it?

Thanks.

BTW, love the name HoofeHearted:rotfl:
Named after the racehorse I assume.;)
