Hi

Hope someone can help as the above problem is driving me nuts.

I have somehow managed to keep getting the above trojan. McAfee Viruscan keeps popping up telling me it has been deleted, but I still keep getting it come back. How can I stop it? I am not very technically minded so any help needs to be with idiot instructions. I thought I had gone through and deleted it fom my temp files but it keeps coming back. We also have our own screens we log onto and I'm the only one who seems to get it. It can pop up say 5 times in the space of 10 mins.

I also keep getting ads pop up unyet I have changed my settings to block all ads.

I just dont get it :confused:

Please help me restore some sanity to me and my PC

Thanx

    I have had a quick look and think that I better leave it for my other half to follow, looks way too complicated for me :o .

    It's not complicated if you simply follow the instructions step by step. That's why the guide was written.

    :rotfl: Anything with more than 5 words in a line, and more than 3 lines is wayyyy too complicated, especially for a Sunday morning. Will prob print it out and have a look later tonight. Appreciate the pointer in the right direction, Cheers
