i have a trojan horse on my computer. everyone said to delete it, you have to have someone restart your computer so it's brand new. is there ANY other way of getting rid of it er is that the only thing they can do??
now :
1) Download the antivirus software by clicking "Download free trial" box.
2) when it's downloaded just install
3) When installed open it and press "Live Update" then press the "Live Update" box.
4) When completed, close the antivirus software and reopen it again.
5) Press the "SCAN" box
6) Then press NORTON POWER ERASER (NPE)
7) Install it if it is required
8)run norton power eraser
9) Press the "SCAN FOR RISKS" BOX
10) wait untill scan is finished.
11) Then (the program might requires for a restart ) if not just press "FIX NOW" and then restart your computer.If it needs restarting before that , you should restart your computer and wait until the NORTON POWER ERASER pop-up
.Then press "fix now " and restart your computer. [ konpik's advice column | Ask konpik A Question ]
PunkieFreak4690 answered Wednesday June 28 2006, 3:22 pm: You can use an anti-virus program like Norton Anti-virus to delete the trojan. Most common trojans are not major(harmful) enough, but you can never be sure if restarting the computer can completely get rid of it. It would be safer and easier just to use an anti-virus program, and don't try to manually delete the trojan or you could cause even more to harm your computer (trust me). And afterwards, restart the computer, and do a double check on the trojan. And do this asap because trojans can spread and expand on your computer.
