Question Posted Monday August 14 2006, 1:13 pm

Alright, I got a trojan virus yesteday.
It was called Trojan.Doppler, or something.
I got that deleted, but I dont know how to remove GetMirar, which got in around the same time. It's malware.

Norton's website was no help (Symantec) and Ad-Aware didn't do anything either.

Can someone who is tech-savvy tell me how to delete it?
It has no uninstall software that I know of, and it's just the occassional pop-up (I dont want to erase my hard drive for this, that's just stupid. It's not worth the effort; the pop-ups are annoying my parents)

My computer is running just fine otherwise.

Thanks in advance to anyone who really helps!!

i had a trojan horse & it ran fine [juss a bit slow]. my uncle said that if you don't get rid of it, it will get worse [hes good at comps]. we got Webroot Spy Sweeper for $30 online. yes you have to pay but it took it off immidately & it was deleted for good. i'd suggest getting that. if you really don't want to pay, search for another program. yes, it is $30 but that's a lot better than having to pay for a new computer once it gets going.

If no Anti-virus software are helping, you will need to do it manually. Here are a few things I know of that might just delete it.

Press CTRl ALT DELETE, go to PROCESSES. Click on the name of the trojan. (Trojan.Doppler).

Restart your computer.

Go to Processes again, if it has not been deleted, go to SEARCH and put in Trojan.Doppler for the search. Search through all options given including files, folders, network, computer and the drive. When they come up in the window, carefully read the details of the file. If it looks pretty much like the trojan, delete it.
