Trojan Help Please!!!

Question

I was just online at yahoo answers, nothing else, and my anti virus thing popped up saying there was a trojan downloader. How can this stuff happen? How do I know where it came from

Answer 1

Your best start is to read to this forum -

Which will walk you thru the tools listed -

One important thing is the fact that you should completely update the Operating System and ALL of the patches.  If your machine is patched for the vulnerability on the HD, then YOU cannot get infected.  It is the more proactive approach (patching your machine, keeping your software updated, using the most current firmware and drivers).  AV is ALWAYS reactive!

If you need any help (especially if the forum is slow), please let me know!

Good Luck!

Microsoft Windows is plagued with malware. Your Windows security suite failed to protect you. Upgrade to Smart Security, Avast or Avira.
