Default I've Trojan Horse virus? One for the IT gurus..

AVG check just showed up the following:



I'm no IT specialist

AVG is still running the check, any ideas what to do?

I like horses, so is this a bad thing?

Cheers

Trojans allow ports to be open on your PC for hacking

I'd run rl]http://www.bulletproofsoft.com/download.html[/url] bulletproofsoft.

I know it says spyware remover, but, it can run system checks on your PC for all sorts of directories and settings that trojans adjust to fcuk your PC up.

Run it and check for the PC Hijacking status. May tell you what ports, as mentioned before, have been opend for possible hacking.

Hope this helps

Failing that, msn me tonight and I'll help you: danjarmishaw@hotmail.com

yeah AVG is saying its gone in the virus vault, but I'm gonna try what danja suggested too [cheers fellas ]

Does this mean I should stop looking at chicks with dicks and men doing exotic animals?

Keep me posted as to the outcome of this I'd be interested to know if your system is 100% ok after it's quranteened

In reply to your question, yea, I'd recommend leaving the dodgy sites alone lol
