Okay, so I just barely started my winter break from college, only to have to deal with my parents very infected computer!
I need to get remove the following trojans:
Internet Security Add-On
Safety Alert 2006
Public Messenger ver. 2.03
Internet Explorer Security Plugin 2006
I don't know how they were loaded on; like I said, I just got home yesterday. I tried to remove them by simply using the Add/Remove Programs in System Tasks. When I try to remove them though, it asks me to restart my computer. I haven't, afraid that rebooting will only make the problem worse. Additionally, I've turned my computer into "Lockdown Mode", to prevent it from going online.
I've scanned the system with Spybot Search and Destroy, and McAfee Security Center, and neither found anything. I've deleted the Internet shortcuts it has created, but that's about it.
What do I do? Can anybody tell me a simple step by step solution to this problem?
And please, no junky download suggestions.
