    Pingu,

    Can you use System Restore to go back to a time before you had this trojan? (Ie. a date when AVG didn't find it.) AVG haven't any info on this trojan in their virus encyclopaedia.

    Funny you should say that, because I was thinking the same, and also Spywaresweeper picks up a thing every day that has the same letters as the Giant thing does, something like "grac", but there is no product or company information. I've been deleting it and it's there again the next day. It seems like Giant stick their own stuff on your computer in exchange for the free trial (well that's what I think).

    Virus companies often give different viruses different names. I'm sure that's so that when you do a search on a virus, that company seems to be the only one who knows how to remove it.

    You're right to be very careful. For example, spywareblaster.com downloads a product called BPS which installs spyware and is not connected to the real spywareblaster (which you can get from: http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html)

    hi
    and thank you

    my pc has taken a funny turn :o

    yesterday AVG found a virus and cleared it i downloaded the GIANT spyware and it found few infected files and i did what it asked me to do.

    i tried to use system restore but it will not let me do it ???

    more or less all the setting have changed and they all set with virgin explorer(virgin came with the pc when i bought it) but i am with tesco ???

    i am going to try differnt things with it see what happens?

    only worry is that no one steals my online banking details :(

    I'd recommend this one. Use the free trial version, it's a full working version, works for 30 days.

  • Wild Tangent are associated with on line games and spyware, you've possibly deleted part of a program with the all scans that you've done recently but not removed all parts, if that makes sense.  The computer is looking for a dll from a program it can't find.

    To uninstall

    Go to START > Settings > Control Panel
    Double click Add/Remove Programs, Select WildTangent , Click uninstall or add/remove, follow the on screen instructions.
    Open the registry editor (Click Start > Run, type regedit). Locate the following key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
    In the right pane, find and delete the following entries ( if they exist):

    WildTangent CDA

    RUNDLL32.exe "C:\Program Files\WildTangent\Apps\CDA\cdaEngine0400.dll",cdaEngineMain
