Help! Computer crashed; Trojan horse!!!?

So. I was like on moviemaker yesterday and got off to take a shower. An hour later I come back to see my virus protection open and giving me a warning about a Trojan horse. I removed it from vault except when I woke up this morning my computer was turned off, I turned it on and it took me to a screen with the safe mode bullshit, except IT DIDNT WORK! It took me to the blue screen and I even tried rebooting and that F8 thing! This is NOT the first virus we had, but we did get rid of it from b4 please help|||To Remove Trojan horse press here http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?…|||Make sure the Trojan isn't broken! But seriously, I get the blue screen too at times and it crashes my computer and automatically restarts it.|||If I understand correctly, you're telling me you are getting a blue screen? Have you ever heard the term 'blue screen of death'? It's not a virus and you don't get your pc back.


if you have a blue screen you are done. thats that. get a copy of Windows or Linux and reload.|||I would put the Win CD in and reformat-reinstall Windows. It would be a lot easier anyway.|||Email links are a common form of contracting a virus.


Although some programs say they can get rid of viruses, the hosts of Computer Shows do not agree. Most that I have listened to, say Reformat.





In my experience, I have been unable to thoroughly clean a computer of a virus infection.





A virus typically embeds itself onto a computer, “not” wanting to be removed; thus the virus programmer will embed in their program many tricks to “stop” a full removal.





Experts tend to agree, Re-formatting is the only real cure.


Note:


When purchasing a computer, always make sure you get the operating system Disks, that will bring your computer back to the Factory spec’s when purchased. These “disks” will include the “default” programs %26amp; the operating system.





Keep your “data”, and your “photos” protected on a 2nd HD – Best to keep a back-up off-site.

I want to try vaulting on horseback.?

The only problem is I'm not a good, flexible gymnast. I have been riding for 9 years so I have no problem being on a horse but in your opinion, do you think I could do it? Not like competitively or anything. Just to try it?|||You would actually be very surprised at what you need and don't need in terms of flexibility and strength in order to vault competitively. I have competed competitively in vaulting and have a complete lack of flexibility (I can't touch my toes and am no where close to the splits), but I have developed a lot of strength, and so I use that to my advantage.





Vaulting consists of freestyle and compulsories and if you have been riding for 9 years or so you would actually more than likely pick it up very quickly. Also, rather than thinking of it as gymnastics, think of vaulting more as dancing.





Find a vaulting team in your area; it is becoming more and more popular and easier and easier to find a team. That way, you will be able to work with a coach and not have to worry about training or finding a vaulting horse, and buying the equipment and everything, which gets very expensive. Most teams offer vaulting to people who want to do it recreationally, but don't be surprised if you feel pressured to compete in team format.





I wouldn't label vaulting as really easy. It is actually quite challenging to vault correctly, and requires a great deal of strength, flexibility, and coordination. Not flexibility in the sense that you can do the splits (although for some things that comes in helpful) but flexibility in that you have a good range of motion. It is also really difficult to hold a stand on a horse, and do all of that, but it will make you a much better balanced and more efficient rider; just make sure you exercise outside of it if this becomes a routine part of horses for you, so that you don't become left sided.|||Vaulting is really easy and you don't need to be flexible at all! My barn has kids vault before they actually ride because it develops balance on the horse. Because you've been riding for so long it'll probably be no problem for you. I suppose it depends on what moves you do, but you don't really need to be really flexible. If your flexible enough to ride a horse, you should be flexible enough to vault!


Have fun :)

What should i do with the back up copies of files in my AVG virus vault?

In my virus vault there is a whole list of my viruses , worms and trojans. Most are 'trojan horse dropper generic.dzd' Though most are rooted in 'my music' some are in 'system 32' and a few in 'temporary internet files'. The actual names of all the files they are rooted in are a mystery to me as they seem to be names of films which is confusing as i have not downloaded anything illegally while using my computer although some other users of it may have.





I am wondering what is best to do , do i wipe them all? Or will this effect the system , i am especially worried about those in 'System 32'.





Although they are in the vault my system is running slow still , so i would like some advise as to what exactly i should do.


Thankyou for any help you offer.|||The pooch is screwed my friend.





If they are securedly inbedded in system 32 the only safe bet is to wipe and reinstall, unless you know enough to extract them yourself and it doesn't sound like you do...





Sorry.

HOw do i fix a trojen horse thats been detected on my computer? i have avg and they are in the vault?

If it's in the vault, then it has already been fixed.


It is quite safe in the vault.


If you want to remove it, open AVG, click on the vault and simply select "empty vault".


I currently have a virus in my vault, it's no big deal. Perhaps I'll remove it someday.|||get a trial of symantec antivirus. also give pandasoftware.com a try.





if you find other apps try them, its just a matter of waiting untill a virus company figures out how to remove the virus and puts that information in the definitions of the virus program.|||Do what the first answer says.You can leave it there (in the vault) or click "Wipe Out" to delete it.Don't change Antivirus.AVG is very good.I am using it for years and never had any problem.


Don't forget to update it EVERY DAY!|||There is a process in AVG that will delete them from the vault. Try AVG Help to find it.|||First update all your windows stuff at windows update. Next use windows firewall. next go into the settings and run both of these in the morning everyday, before surfing. Then change all your passwords, online and user password or your home password. make a user that has limited privilages. use the limited user when you are online. Next go to trend micro and run the free house call scaner. You will need java. If the trojons are deeply inbeeded you will need to clear your hard drive and reinstall windows. What ever you do keep your hard drive because the copy of window is associated with it. or the key to that copy is for that hard drive. But this can be changed too. good luck to you. Change those passwords and make sure they are upper and lower case and use sy;mbols too like !@#$%^%26amp;*

What is a Trojan Horse Downloader.Generic8.ACVW and how can I remove it?

this virus drives me insane, it keeps appearing even if I deleted it on the virus vault.|||A Trojan virus is faulty computer program that can infect remote computers by changing the desktop or deleting important files. Generally called a Trojan Horse, it appears as a legitimate file or software from a trusted source, therefore tricking users into opening it or downloading it. Take action and protect your personal computer files by learning to delete this Trojan virus.


Here is more infomation and removal guide:


http://downloadlk.com/Spyware/Get-Rid-of…|||Hi,





I use AVG anti virus and I noticed that I was getting a Trojan Horse showing up as well. Mine was attaching itself to the restore file and I found an easy fix over at the AVG forum.





I don't think there is a need to buy any software to get rid of this, just run through the basic steps they give you;


1. Go to my computer and right click and go to properties


2. Then go to system restore tab and uncheck the system restore box at the top. It will ask you if you're sure and click OK.


3. Restart your computer and run your antivirus





It should be gone. If that works go back in and switch on your system restore by checking the box that you unchecked before.

Floola, a trojan horse? & Lastfm update on Floola (iTunes/iPod)?

Hey after reading rave reviews about floola and actually experiencing it, all of a sudden, when my AVG virus scan did a scan, it kept detecting my floola program as a trojan, identifying it as a trojan horse PSW.OnlineGames.KJP resulting in me moving to vault to avoid any viruses in my computer. I tried googling the trojan name but i learn nothing about it. Each time i download it's always the same result, is it my computer's fault or what? Please advise!





I can't scrobble songs to lastfm on floola even though i enable the setting. It keeps giving me the error message about having too many to send through.


So if i try to send through iTunes, i have to set the automatic synchronize with my iTunes which i'm avoiding because the list of songs in my iTunes and iPod are different and i do not want to affect the songs in my iPod video.





I would appreciate solid advice :-D|||Try updating your AVG file. There seems to be a conflict from yesterday's update that they've fixed today...according to the Floola forums.





This update fixed the problem on my friend's computer.|||Same thing happened to me. I, as well, ran the avg scanner and the exact same trojan horse PSW.OnlineGames.KJP came up.

You can download and scan your computer for free.|||No need to worry, avg has took care of it. If you will feel more comfortable, empty the virus vault, but as long as its in the vault its dead.|||Hi Ken. Well with my experience, I can say, that if AVG could spot a trojan, I guess there might be even more viruses residing in yr PC.





Thats bcause an Antivirus like AVg hardly catches any viruses, until and unless they are extremely common.





My Advise to you would be;





1.Download a good antivirus, like





(a) NOD32, free,and doesn't miss out on catching any.





(b)Kaspersky- download it, in the trial period, get rid of the virus, as good as the above one, just that it isn't free.





These 2 should get rid of your virus 99% sure, if not, get 'antihacker trojan expert'.


Again a trial software, but you can get wat you want in the trial period.








If all these don't work, well dude, you can simply reinstall windows, but before, erase all the system restore check points.





And yes, once you scan your PC, you SHOULD ALWAYS PUT THE VIRUS IN THE VAULT, OR QUARANTINE AREA, it would never ever harm your pc since it will be recognized by that specific anti virus.|||Your AVG is doing it's job..





Leave it in the virus vault for a while until you see everything is working well. Then you can delete it.





Here are some free anti-spyware programs that are a great addition in the fight against spywares-





Download and install these anti-spyware programs:





Immediately scan with #1-





Always click the button to UPDATE before starting the scan.


Remove (Quarantine) all items they find.





1. SuperAntispyware here:


http://www.superantispyware.com








These two free programs work best when used together on right after the other.


What one program doesn't get, the other one will...

Use protection,


your computer will thank you.|||Once AVG has found a virus it does one of two things. It either eliminates the virus through "healing" or if it can't heal the problem, it puts it in the "Virus Vault". Once a file has been put in the vault it can no longer harm your system. You can go to the vault and delete the file if you wish or just leave it there.





By the way, AVG is as good as any other anti virus software available today. Just be sure to keep your definitions up to date. As a computer repair tech, I will not allow Norton or McAfee to be installed on any of the system for which I am responsible.
