trojan
yesterday there was a trojan going around through aim that if you got it it would send it to everyone on your buddy list with the im saying 'how do i look' with a link and i clicked the link and now i have the trojan. i then ran a spy sweeper sweep and it found traces that it removed but the trojan is still there, i can see it on windows task mangager. i also know what the file is and where it is so i deleted the floder but it keeps reappearing and i even searched the folder with spy sweeper and it came up empty but i kno thats it because spy sweeper keeps saything theres two new threats and when i click details i get the location but it wont go away. i also cleaned out my internet files but nothing is helping so will someone please tell me what to do?? please dont say call a person.

Here's the deal: If it's specifically an AIM virus, I can prettie much guarantee that you will not be getting rid of it with Norton, Ad-Aware or anything else.
You need a certain AIM virus detector. I have a link you can nuke it with: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Go there, and just click "DOWNLOAD". It's 100% FREE. It downloads in SECONDS, AND it does NOT download ANY other crap with it, ya know??
Once it's downloaded, save it to your Desktop (just so it's easy to find), and run the program. It will kick you off AIM (for about 10-14 seconds), while it scans AIM for this virus.
Once deleted, you can sign right back on. It's SPECIFICALLY an **AIM** virus detector; meant to detect EVERY one!! I've used it before, and it always fixed my problem.
Also, it wouldn't be a bad idea to pass that along to your friends, just incase they clicked it, too. :]

I've had those before. All I had to do was cancel the processes on the task manager, but sometimes that doesn't always work. The more recent ones were picked up immediately by my antivirus software (AVG) which is free off of the internet. If not picked up right away, all you do is reinstall AIM.

You need to run a virus program. Spy sweeper only takes care of spyware. I suggest AVG, although it doesn't always work, it's free. Also, clean out your always keep folder on spysweeper (it's under options) and make sure everything is checked in always remove.

I got that on my computer, it was effed up! (pardon my language) I kept running adaware, and nortan. Turns out all I had to do was restart my computer. Try that.
Hope I helped

i got that in my computer, my dad was pissed at my sister. its a worm, if you dont know what that is it takes files and everything and proabably sends it back to the person that started it. so it will take private things like credit card numbers. i know this wont help but i have a program that does it and i think my dad did this one where its really strog or something and now i dont have it..yeah no point in answering this

I got that virus last year, and my dad had to wipe my hard drive and rebuild it...so i dunno. talk to your parents, im sure they'll know what to do, or know someone who will know what to do.

hope i helped..

Download Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE Personal. I had to keep reinstalling windows XP on to my computer because of major virus's. I had over 2033 virus's. I even had to switch from disk drive C to D because the virus's ate up every amount of space and wouldn't allow me to click ANYTHING. Once I downloaded Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE Person, from www.downloads.com I actually saw some improvement. They give you update every week to install new definitions for a more powerfull search. Full scan search for your computer, or smart scan search for your computer. It even gives you the virus's AND files that look harmfukl or threatening in your comp. It dekletes all of those by quarenting it in a folder, than you can then delete every virus in that folder. 180 search assisant and tracking cookies, trojans are hard to get off. But if you do full system scan I guarantee it'll be off your comp. if you do smart system scan it can't be deleted, just locked away in a folder where the virus can't get out. I suggest downloading it and doing full system scans on your whole comp for every drive.

why cant we say call a person? That would be the best thing you could possibly do. But heres it anyway: call a computer person. Youre computer has a virus and unless your a expert theres really no other way YOU could fix it. maybe you have a friend thats good with computers...?? if its about the money, maybe do a couple of oddjobs. Chances are if you wait longer your computer will be messed up.
