I have a trojan, need help.

Neon Apocalypse · 2004-02-28, 07:04 PM

Somehow i seemed to have acquired a trojan. Now my computer seems to work fine, aside from the fact that i get bombarded by pop ups. I know i have a trojan because on my aim profile there is a link that downloaded a trojan. And it says "new years eve partayy!" so its really old. I can't get rid of this, everytime i sign on its there, even if i deleted it previously. Now this happened to me before, except i solved it by wiping all my AIM files and reinstalling. So i know i got spyware and a trojan. The site that my profile is linked to got taken down, and they have suggested certain spyware and trojan killers. Only problem is they cost money, which i dont have. So how can i get rid of this stupid spyware and trojan? I have already tried Spybot S&D, which can't remove the trojan, but removes some spyware, which comes back quick enough. Anyone have any programs they can send me? Or does anyone have any reccomendations that are free?

It didnt remove the trojan, and i cant find the file of the trojan so i can't quarantine it.

Well, find a girlfriend, get real friendly, and then once it's time, be sure to wear it.

For the serious response, try a program called Pest Patrol. Don't have a website link, google it.

... ... see ... your title got my hopes all up for p0rn pics... damn...

Mwahahaha, looks like one of us got into your comp. =D This should be in Tech Support shouldn't it?

Anyway, try Trojan Search/Destroy. Someone told me a while ago that the guys at Spyware Search/Destroy made one for simply viruses, but it might not be true. Try Googling it.

Search For Rsnet!

Didn't the Greeks come busting out of the Trojan Horse in the womb of the enemy city?

What the hell kinda name is that? How about RAMPARTS or AEGIS.. You know, something that implies protection, not an outpouring of little troops.

edit: Oh yah, I'm referring to condoms for some reason.

worldvengence · 2004-02-29, 01:46 AM

its called a trojan because it is disguized as something innocent comming into your comp then it becomes malevolent...hense why it is called that...unless u are talking abotu the condom, then ya, u DONT want an outpouring of "little troops"
