How to delete trojan?

Question

I have located a trojan at C:WINDOWS\system32\rwdekkoi.DLL, but I cannot delete the file. What to do, please? Thanks.

Answer 1

Firstly, switch off System Restore, you can restart this once your computer is clean. You do this because a lot of infections hide in these restore points and reactivate themselves after you have scanned your computer.

You don't say what protection you have so I'll assume none. If you have anti-virus software on your computer already you can skip the Avast suggestion although I still do recommend this.

I always recommend the following be stored on computers and install them myself on any I repair.

Avast Home Edition http://avast.com

Run a full scan once a month. I find this the best free anti-virus software

SUPERantispyware http://superantispyware.com

Update and run a full scan once a week.

Spybot Search and Destroy http://safer-networking.org

Update, Immunize and scan once a week.

ccleaner http://ccleaner.com

Run the Cleaner scan and remove all it finds

Run the Registry scan and fix all issues but repeat this until nothing is detected.

Run this daily.

Comodo Firewall http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/

Some people just prefer the Windows one but this is better.

Check that you don't need to defragment monthly and also run a Disk Cleanup monthly too.

Feel free to email me if I can be of further help
