Hi Hallo
My computer was infected with a trojan virus today, from a link from someone on msn messenger. I ran AVG Free and the virus went to the vault, which i have deleted and all seems to be running fine now. however, i've had to vault it three times. when I restart, the virus seems to reappear. but my computer is running fine.

but...

there is an icon on my desktop titled winstall.exe which when scanned doesn't contain a virus, but I have just had a quick scan thru some stuff on the internet and get the idea that its a nasty little program that lets other nasty stuff infect my computer  I can't delete it, and in fact, am not sure if this is accurate and am a little worried its an important windows file i shouldnt be deleting at all.

I've now installed Avira Antivir as well, as a double up safety precaution, but no spyware detection programs as yet (I'm not even sure if I'm wording that correctly..)

help??
Thanks a lot

why do they only target the SOF2 forums

lmao flix

alisa.. just do a system restore lol
if your AV says its gotten rid of it, and u got it through downloading it from some tit on msn sending u the virus addy.. a system restore will remove the installation of it.
easy way to do system restore is go to start/help&support/system restore.

set it to go back to 2 days ago..
you'll be sorted then.
Just back-up any movies, music or games u have downloaded.

Peace
