I somehow downloaded a progarm called malware wiped and now I can't competely remove it. It was removed by my father but I think there may be hidden files that have secretly loaded into my computer. Everytime I log onto my internet, it goes to their homepage and not my aol homepage. I think I have what is called a trojan. I need to know a way to get it off my computer without having to download anymore software and also without putting my computer at risk by doing it manually.

I'd reccomend these 2, run each in turn
ADAWARE fro www.lavasoftusa.com (Free personal version)
also SPYBOT S&D from www.spybot.org (Again free for home use)


Also worth having in toolbox is CCLEANER from www.ccleaner.com again a free download, and a good general windows tidyup utility.

Go to add orr remove programs in your home computer and remove the program! Also go to the site and go to Contact Us and leave message for them to stay off your site! In the security settings of your computer, open up popp blocker and block they're site! then close popups again so computer can run smoother!
