So I got a freakin Trojan virus from myspae... :( How do I get rid of it?

Question

The PC-Cillin [Trend Micro Antivirus] ran this morning and it caught a trojan virus. =[ It won't let me quarantine it though! So frustrated! HOW DO I GET RID OF IT?

Answer 1

go to majorgeeks.com and find a specific removal tool for this trojan. Look for it by the name of your trojan.

Answer 2

If you have avg-free, that should hopefully take care of it. But, I had that program and even though it said it had "found and quarantined" four trojan virus, I found out that they were still in there, plus a lot of other things. How I found out - my AVG free would not work, period, so I went to Wal Mart and I bought Defender Pro 5 in 1 2007. It was only $19.99. I installed it, updated it, and it went to work. I couldn't believe what it found in my computer - five trojans, four worms, and a bunch of other stuff - like my web.com, weather bug, and others. This is a wonderful anti virus, and also has a great spy ware scan that always works when you are on the internet. It has stopped several worms from getting into my computer while I was on the internet. Also this program will update every three hours and the virus will automatically run every third day. So if your virus program will not take out the virus, I recommend highly that you get Defender Pro 5 in 1. I am glad I did. By the way, it also defrags, deletes duplicate files and all kinds of other things. It's great. Good luck - those trojans are nasty things to have on your computer.
