A Trojan horse virus has infected my computer. My antivirus system scan can't quarantine or delete it, and I have no idea how to get rid of it.

WHAT THE ##**!! CAN I DO ABOUT IT? HELP!!

Uhhh I never heard of a Trojan horse virus......

Steve, go to www.symantec.com and download the Trojan horse fix it tool. I did and it worked!

Robyrob Alert. APB out for Robyrob!

I need to ask some questions. what things did the trojan cause your PC to do and what Anti-virus program are you using?

I have Norton AntiVirus, and it keeps letting me know the Trojan horse is there.

I'm downloading Symantec's Trojan QHost fix, as Marlene suggested. I'm crossing my figners.

:lol:

what does the trojan horse virus do?

and just when i'm typing this, two anti-virus pop-ups come up. :lookaroun

Since it's called a Trojan horse, I assume it hides gremlins inside a program to steal your private data - and comes out to attack when you least expect it! :eek:

Pirate yourself a copy of XP, back your stuff up, format, and eliminate your porn surfing habits. ;)

Well, the Qhost fix-it tool is running like crazy as I type. In fact, it's making note of everything I've ever done on the Internet! :eek2:

Does anyone know a good virus protection or scan? My computer is all messed up.

Luckily, you have nothing to hide. ;)

Does anyone know a good virus protection or scan? My computer is all messed up.McAfee is good, but if you want something free try AVG.

A Trojan virus isnt exactly the name of a virus, but rather a type of viruses. They're named "Trojan" because they sneek in, whether it's completely without your consent or gets in disguised as something other than what it actually is.

What it can do and how much damage it can cause depends on the virus.

sorry - my Bob Newhart Season 1 dvd showed up yesterday so I was otherwise preoccupied....

I'm downloading Symantec's Trojan QHost fix, as Marlene suggested. I'm crossing my figners. typically, when your antivirus program finds a Trojan Horse, you hope that it will identiify it well enough for you to either manually delete it or download an appropriate removal tool.

A Trojan Horse portrays itself as something other than what it is at the point of execution. While it may advertise its activity after launching, this information is not apparent to the user beforehand. A Trojan Horse neither replicates nor copies itself, but causes damage or compromises the security of the computer. A Trojan Horse must be sent by someone or carried by another program and may arrive in the form of a joke program or software of some sort. The malicious functionality of a Trojan Horse may be anything undesirable for a computer user, including data destruction or compromising a system by providing a means for another computer to gain access, thus bypassing normal access controls.

a lot of times a trojan will actually be a "backdoor" program that will allow access to your machine so that it can be controlled remotely, it usually comes as an attachment or embedded in another program that LOOKS harmless - so just like the original Trojan Horse, it tricks you into letting it in and then it takes over from the inside....

I got mine from a music download website. It was giving me all kinds of pop-up ads as soon as my computer went to my desktop. Norton-Anti-Virus didn't to anything to help. :(

This one time this guy got a virus because he DIDN'T have a trojan!!!!11

at least let's hope next time you know better than to be illegally downloading Madonna mp3's from Kazaalite :lol:

hope everything is fixed soon

Downloading music (and video) free is legal in Canada. And I hate Madonna. Must've been her revenge. ;)

My computer is slowly getting back to normal. :)

Here's an article I found while doing a search on what a Trojan Horse Virus is and what it does.

Wikipedia the Free Encyclopedia:

Trojan Horse information (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trojan_horse_(computing)).

I use a free virus scan that works well for me. It's called HouseCall and you can get a free scan by clicking here (http://housecall.trendmicro.com/). No need to download. :)

Oh, one more thing. I use another program that tracks down spyware programs and gets rid of them for me and it can also track down and destroy virus programs. It's a product called Stomp Soft and it's fantastic! I have it's anti-spyware program and it continuously hunts down and destroys spyware programs and it's great!

StompSoft's products are found here (stompsoft.com).

I'm downloading a fifteen-day trial version of X-Terminator. Maybe then I can get rid of the Trojan horse sooner rather than later! :)
