***COMPLETED***HELP! Virus

[Lloydy]

  :(Turned the PC on this morning and the same Virus Alert popped up again  

Can someone tell me please, if I deleted a program from the PC does the Registry entry get deleted aswell?

A properly constructed "uninstaller" should delete the registry entry as well .... but these are as rare as hens teeth.

try this tool its shareware but its free for 30 days
http://www.simplysup.com/tremover/details.html it boasts that it lists every infected file and at the very least will allow you to identify them.

Have patience, the problem with these self replicating trojans is that if you miss one branch the whole thing is back next time you boot up.

Hi Jan,
I have had a Trojan virus before,I was able to get rid of it by down loading another Antivirus..for eg. Housecall,  AVG Anti-Virus free edition  and did an on line scan.


don't know if this helps ,but I hope it is of some help

Falkryn - thank you for the Trojan Remover link.  I have downloaded it, run the scan and done the trojan removing bit.  Hurray, I thought, until I restarted the PC.................low and behold there was the alert again!!!

So, I did another scan within the Trojan Remover programme and this time it said No malicious files etc. found   but the alert is still there.  THIS WILL NOT BEAT ME!!!!!!

Nat - Thank you for your reply too.  I will try anything, so will have a look at your suggestion.

Are you running Windows ME or XP as your operating system, if so you will have to disable the system restore before attempting to clean your machine or else windows will restore the files you have deleted.
Cheers

Thanks Guy. 

I do use Windows XP and did originally disable the System Restore but forgot to do it when I ran the Trojan Remover. Ooops

Must go and try again.................
