Trojans Galore

hogshead

I too have some PC problem.
I do apologise in advance but have very little knowledge in this area.

Whilst sat here this am I have AGAIN had some advert play through the speakers mentioning a new Linx product. I see this site is ad free & have no idea how this is getting through.

What type of pc security is preferable just now as I think we may need to revise/upgrade?

TIA for reading

I'd try the kaspersky online virus scan -free- it's one of the best but can take a while. This doesn't fix/remove anything so you have to write down everything it finds or work down the list manually deleting things- you can always restore from recycle bin if needed.
It may well be best to re-install your OS and all drivers/progs.

Just as easy to download and run the Kaspersky trial of either AV or security suite .
free for 30 days .

I only recommend the following Kaspersky Internet Security suite and the freeware
SuperAntispyware . Plus keep them updated (kaspersky updates every hour as automatic ) . Keep your OS and browser updated with the relevant security patches . Watch what you click or install .

This is the best software for removing trojans (and other malware) and it is free.

boot to safe mode after updating Avast and Superantispyware and then do a full scan with both

Have just finished the A/V an found two of the same type, stored in separate locations, of which both where Music areas?:

Avast! has them names as Win32:RootKit-gen[Rtk]
C:\Program Files\RealTek\InstallSheild\chcfg.exe and
C:\PNP\Audio\chcfg.exe again.

Are these possible what are re-installing the Trojans back onto my dads computer?

And yes, I have disabled the Restore System as when ever we done a scan, it was finding Viruses inside the Restore Points.

Thanks,
Allan

You should also fix

O16 - DPF: {C49134CC-B5EF-458C-A442-E8DFE7B4645F} (YYGInstantPlay Control) - http://www.yoyogames.com/downloads/activex/YoYo.cab

Sometimes Yo Yo has problems with their site games, only last month they had a dialer implanted on the website.

I will go have a look, thanks for pointing this out,
Allan.

I got a site from my mum called www.filehippo.com. This gives you all sorts of fantastic FREE software and protection.

You can basically choose from a list

Im not to sure if my dad still has his original copy and license key for it. Ive suggested this many times, but he has a lot that would need to be backed up too.

Some how, he has managed to generate about 50GB or random stuff over about 3 or 4 years. Most of it, I am assuming it is games and pictures from his friends wedding etc.
