Trojan horses......

If I do a System Restore on my sons PC, will this get rid of a Trojan Horse? I have tried everything, but nothing is shifting it.....

Thanks

Can try it... i'm not sure if it'll work or not though.

Also download DrWeb's Cureit... http://download.drweb.com/drweb+cureit/
Update Avast
Startup into safemode:
1)Shut down PC
2)boot it up again and keep tapping F8
3)it'll request you to select how you want to startup your PC... select SafeMode. If it says "keyboard error", push the power button on your PC to turn off your PC and continue from step 2.
4)when the PC starts in SafeMode, do a full PC scan using Avast and CureIt
5)Doublecheck if the Trojan is there or not after you have scanned. If it is, try to delete it manually (or rename it at least)

Restart your PC and it should startup into normal mode again
