depending on your system if win xp go to my computer right click down to propertys turn off system restore make sure you are not connected to your modem or phone line re boot your system run a compleat scan again then go into safe mode do another full scan in here if you find you are clear reboot again go back to my computer and turn system restore back on this is most important so dont forget reboot your machine when you have this done connect your internet back up and you should be up and running again check microsoft web site for latest updates best of luck

Answer 3

You need to first judge if your system is slowing which means that there a trojan is still there. Also use AVs like AVG and ewidos, good reputable antiviruses and scan the system after updating them.

Answer 4

The best removal tool is free from Mcafee.
Go to:

then download the smitfraud.
Re start your computer in SAFE MODE and follow the instructions. This will remove nuvens adware, virusbursters and any other potential problems. Restart you computer normally and away you go. Your screen save will be gone and maybe a few of you saved log-ins, but your computer is clean.

Answer 5

If you have followed all the instructions then that should be it. Best method for trojan detection would be a firewall (zonealarms free) then if you do get infected it will have to get past zonealarm to get on the internet. To get past zonealarm it will have to have your permission so my advice is if anything asks for access and you don't know or connect the reason for it, say no.

Answer 6

Disbale the system restore. Run the anti virus program after updating its defination files. Enable System Restore.

Answer 7

often times that's the traditional technique for healing small scabs. often times the hollow can seem very deep, i bear in mind seeing them continuously while i became right into a newborn and that i might %. off my scabs lol... that's kinda extraordinary, yet prevalent. as long as there is not any yellow puss, and if it isnt very very purple or painful, i wouldnt subject approximately it. if the muscle section feels sore, it could have been a spider chew. popping spider bites is a huge no-no. im uncertain why, google it? lol

Answer 8

Scan in Safe Mode, if that doesn't find anything its gone.

Before attempting to remove malware you must switch off System Restore as back up files will be hiding in there, and it will just restore itself. Go to Start - programs - accessories - system tools - system restore.
Run your anti virus and anti spyware in Safe Mode. To get into Safe Mode repeatedly press the F8 key after the bios screen loads but before Windows loads. You'll know if you made it because the screen will be at 800 x 600 and your pc will be slow.

Then beef up your security. Its easier to prevent malware getting on to your sytem in the first place rather than trying to remove it. All the following programs are free for personal use;
