download AVG, do a full scan, it should find it and remove it for you

Ive used them all, i was a huge fan of NOD32 for a few years, but recently i tested Windows Live OneCare and i love it, not as many features as some programs but u can pretty much just install it and leave it to do what it does. You also get 3 months free trial and then when u do pay the $100 per year u get the license for 3 computers.

Once you get one it can be a biatch to get rid of. Best bet is to prevent the infection.

I have been "playing" with pcs for the past 12 years or so and am usually able to get just about any problem resolved eventually. I spent 3 days dicking with my wife's laptop and finally just backed up her essential files and formatted. I tried AVG, Trendmicro, Norton, adaware, spybot, hijackthis, and a slew of other programs intended to get rid of specific malware. I was ready to throw the damn thing through the sliding glass door cause the malware caused the laptop to run SOOOO slow. Took forever to to anything.

Good luck getting rid of it.

BTW...she had Norton AV installed and now has AVG which I think is a muchbetter program and I use it on several other PCs in the house. He laptop came with Norton so we just kept renewing...Not no more.

Norton is my experience is crap, and trying to uninstall it is one big pain in the ass lol

Try Computer Associate Security Suite, very easy to use has anti virus, spam, trojan, malware, firewall, website inspector all in the one suite. I think about 80$A. have had it since the company started and in 13 years have not had a virus/trojan/malware
