downloads.com, search for trojan virus remover. then u can get a program to take it off. to prevent it, stop looking at porn.

[ichibankilla]

Try "spybot", I've always had good luck with it.

[MisterCMK]

Anti-virus program of your choice, spybot, adaware and a firewall.

So far the trojan hasn't shown up again since i ran my Antivir again. I hoping it got it of my system. Im not sure tho. So far its taken 9 hours to search my computer and its only 80% done.

this is the mother fucking truth. IF you don't know enough about computers (or your wife doesn't) to avoid viruses. Rock a Mac all over the place.

expensive as fuck though

Hell no...

But owning a mac is worse then having a Trojan on your PC...

Boot in to safe mood (hit f8 when windows starts to load), see if its still there, if not...

go start -> run -> msconfig

disable all startup items, and click on the services tab... click the "hide all non-microsoft services" and disable all of those too

once you have done that, reboot normally, and if this fixes your problem, start using the process of elmination (and common sense to what could / could not be a trojan).

Also, go in to internet explorer, and disable all third party addons...

i ended up having to go to microsofts website and downloaded the new internet 7. thats the only way i could get rid of what i had.

and really not worth the money....

You can always check the running processes(XP, ctrl-alt-delete) and their functions by using google and searching for the name and file type. You will get information about it and if it's ok. Not fool proof but you can generally fix it that way as well. You'll probably be surprised whats running anyway.

Alot of the trojans these days have dynamically generated process names though...

I got my 20" for a steal! after selling the nano that came with it it was only like $1300 or so? can't remember right. but they start at $1499 with the student discount tho. a 20" screen computer that is fast as fuck, that is a hell of a good deal, especially when you dont run into any problems. Ive had mine since last sept and not 1 single problem yet. had my vista 17" multimedia laptop since feb and have had many problems with that.

I want a mac its the fact that I don't have that kind of money laying around to purchase one. I wouldn't go with a desktop tho. I would rather have the MacBook.
