Title: VIRUS - Help
Post by: Chopsdad on 20 October 2007, 18:41:35
I'm looking on Google search and computer starts "Malware Alarm" it tells me I have a Trojan and some other stuff - but I don't know of this security system and I certainly don't pay for it.  It wants me to download ActiveX to sort the problem from malwarealarm.com

Yes or No?  :-[

AVG status is green.  I've run a diagnostic to see if it can find the horse :-/

NO!!!!!!!!!!!

If you haven't already got an antivirus, antirootkit etc then go to free.grisoft.com and download their free tools.

That's what you get for rushing!

If I key THE BOY, THE BOY, THE BOY and turn around 3 times this post will move to General Chat where it belongs.

Note to self.  You are a muppet  [smiley=angry.gif]

All sorted now. :)

AVG found 2 Trojans and sucessfully deleted them both.   :(

The insistent Malware website turned into "page cannot be found" and has gone now. :y
