  1. A Trojan horse is simply a computer program. A type of program that is often confused with viruses is a 'Trojan horse' program.  This is not a virus, but simply a program (often harmful) that pretends to be something else. For example, you might download what you think is a new game; but when  you run it, it deletes files on your hard drive. Or the third time you start the game, the program E-mails your saved passwords to another person. For a Trojan horse you have to execute the code in the file to trigger it.  This could mean running a program file, or opening a Word/Excel document in a program that can execute any macros in the document.Try  http://computer-probs.blogspot.com/  to get  solution for all problems.


  2. install an antivirus

    i recomend Norton Antivirus.

  3. First do an ONLINE SCAN  - Kaspersky is the best one and works well..

    just be patient - it takes a long time to download the virus definitions and do the scan...

    Prior to doing an ONLINE SCAN it's a good idea to clean up all your temp files and internet history and cookies:

    Use ATF Cleaner, Clean-up links below) or Disk Cleanup to do this: (disk cleanup = program files> accessories> disk Cleanup)

    After the ONLINE SCAN is complete download the following programs and do further scans:

    (each different program cannot detect all the problems, it is wise to run several)

    FOR VIRUSES, MALWARE and TROJANS =

    1. Malwarebytes

    2. Super AntiSpyware Free Edition

    FOR ADWARE, SPAM and COOKIES =

    3. Spybot Search and Destroy:

    4 Lavasoft Adaware

    http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Pers...

    To CLEAN OUT all your temp files/internet history/cookies and other junk =

    ATF Cleaner (choose the option of 'select all')

    http://www.softpedia.com/get/Security/Se...

    or CLEAN UP

    you should also consider keeping MOZILLA FIREFOX as your browser as it is much more secure than IE

    http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/

    then you should get a good ANTIVIRUS if you dont already have one

    AVIRA ANTIVIR is the best free one on the market ...

    if you already have an antivirus and your happy with it - keep it - don't use more than one antivirus

    AVIRA ANTIVIR:

    best of luck

    All of the above programs work extremely well and are FREE

    if you have a severe problem you shouldn't try and tackle it yourself, there are many TECH SITES

    that offer expert tech help (free, but if they help you, you should consider donating to the cause)

    an extremely good one is WHAT THE TECH FORUMS:

    http://www.whatthetech.com/

    There are other powerful programs out there that also eliminate viruses and trojans but shouldn't be used without the guidance of an expert user (on a Tech Forum) such as SD FIX and HIGHJACK THIS...so be careful.

  4. If I were youI would download either spybot search and destroy or

    adaware and run them.If you are looking for a good antivirus

    program I would suggest AVG, it is free and it updates itself for free also. AVG gets things Norton doesn't.


  5. Avast! Antivirus is intelligent in trojan horse. I'm pretty sure it will remove them. Download it for free on avast.com then allow it to run while your computer is booting.

    Also updates for avast! are free.
