Answer 1

Thats a nasty virus take it to the computer geeks at best buy if you dont know someone who can wipe your system and reprogram it. save what you can to disc first. hopefully you wont have to replace your hard drive. Im not aware of any program that can get rid of the trojan horse. You can call the geek squad and they will advise you.

Trojans often modify the startup files of your computer, add or change lines in the system registry and even overwrite system files to make sure they are run every time you boot up. For that reason, removing them by hand takes time, patience and an understanding of what you are doing. It is fraught with dangers, including trashing your registry or loosing the ability to run programs so it is definetly not for everyone - even those who know exactly what they are doing often prefer to use automated tools when removing a trojan horse.

Each trojan has its own specific removal routine, see the Cleaners & Fixes pages for details on those. They do however all conform to the same basic patterns :

They usually insert a line in the run, run once or run services keys in the system registry. This is the principal startup method of most trojans including Back Orifice & Sub7. Removing the line from the registry and rebooting usually stops the trojan loading.
Some alter Win.ini, system.ini or plae themselves in the "Startup" folder. Again, removing the offending line usually stops the trojan running.
Some alter or replace system files. These need careful handling and are best left to experts or automated tools.
One in particular can modify a certain setting in the registry, causing it to be executed before ANY program you run. removing this line stops you running ANYTHING! Again, this is best left to experts or automated tools to deal with.
The steps involved in removing a trojan are simple:

Identify the trojan horse file on your hard disk.
Find out how it is being started and take the necessary action to prevent it being restarted after a reboot.
Reboot your machine and delete the trojan horse.
You may be familiar with the Task List that appears if you press CTRL+ALT+DEL within windows. This is supposed to be a list of all the programs running on your computer at the second you pressed those keys - it is not. For reasons best known to themselves Microsoft hid a great many processes from display in the task list, possibly to avoid confusing novice users. In doing this, they gave trojan writers the perfect tool to hide their own creations from your view as well.

Less well known is the System Information Utility (msinfo32.exe) that hides in the C:\program files\common\microsoft shared\msinfo folder on your disk. This tool can uncover almost every process that is running on any windows system, even those that are "hidden" from the task list. Better yet, on windows 98 & ME the same tool provides an easy way to selectivly disable any suspect processes at the next reboot. To use this when hunting for trojans, look down the task listings for running tasks & services for any which you do not recognise. Check the paths and filenames. Check the file properties and run the executable or .dll through your virus scanner.

If you find nothing but still are not sure, use the Startup Programs editor in the tools menu to disable the process then reboot your machine (make a backup of your system files first!). If nothing complains, leave the process disabled for now and carry on looking at the others. Eventually you will have only those processes you really need running on your machine which will have the benefit of not only killing off any trojans but also making your PC seem more responsive and generally quicker to start up.

Go to www.ZoneAlarm.com and buy it! I had a trojan on my computer and as soon as I downloaded Zone Alarm it got rid of it immediately. My computer ran much faster and I haven't had any problems since. It runs in the background and does a scan for spyware every time I turn on my computer. My BANK recommended it to me after I sent them an email that included the trojan on it, and it's not expensive either.

Answer 4

It could be at the Windows files. Check and scan there. A lot of Trojan removers don't look at the Windows Folder. But delete are your own risk. Cheers. Also, try looking at places that have not been scan.
Also, don't use cheep Trojan removers that you see in google. Its ripoffs and you should buy something different.

But you might have to get rid of, or disable SpyBot. You can try it, at least. Not many of the current popular spyware programs will get rid of this particular trojan horse thing. good luck!

on your computer go to start. From there go to control panel and there click the "add or remove programs." After you do that look for "TrojanHorseDownloader.Generic..." when you find it click it and then on the side it will say change or remove...click the remove one.
