Help Please...Trojan?

I have a question, and not to sound stupid. What exactly is a trojan? Is that a hidden virus? Thanks in advance.

Why not try Avast antivirus or you may go to www.download.com for free security software that you can download.

Just now I removed six trojans with the help of AVG Anti Virus. It is simply superb. Please try.

well I dont now another free program but you always need to update your AVG software each day and scan your computer after you sign off the net. you also may want to download AVG ANTI-SPYWARE ... because some of those problems of viruses can be headed off my the anti-spyware software ...

www.sendspace.com/file/nvefql trojan hunter 4.6 very good program

I'd strongly suggest the free HijackThis program and I have a tutorial on AC. http://associatedcontent.com/review Also, I would try a free trial of one of the better anti-virus progams (F-secure, Zone Alarm, Trend Micro) to pick up on things AVG may have missed. Even better go to ZoneAlarm.com and if you take them up on one of their offers you get the Internet Security Suite for free. I did this last night and am well pleased. Hope this helps.

I use Avast .com I can put the trojans in a chest where I keep them so they dont come back I do the home edition

Hey CDW, Did you try AdAware? Also, microsoft has a free scan for maliciuos software here's the link hope it helps http://www.microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.mspx +'s 2 U :D

i recommend NOD32... it can take care spyware, malware, virus, trojans. i think it's more powerful than norton and it does not eat your pc resources. but if your asking for free trojan remover i recommend Trojan Guarder, Trojan Guarder runs at the background and scans almost every second. you will have a security over trojan every second and it is effective in removing them.

avg is good, i use it as well. it has never let me down. so i never tried other programs.

One good free one you can do online is: housecall.trendmicro.com

If you can't afford to have anything go wrong with your computer, you really need to tighten up on security. My first recommendation to anyone with a Windows PC is an IPS (Intrusion Prevention Systems) firewall. One such firewall is Sunbelt Kerio, which comes in a free version. My personal choice is McAfee Personal Firewall Express, which comes in the free, all-in-one AOL Safety and Security Center. McAfee has really tightened up their firewalls since last fall, and AOL's all-in-one is quite enough to protect average users from drive-by exploits on the web. If you want even greater security, you could lock the registry and system32 folder. Personally, I use Arovax Shield and Folder Guard Pro. However, Folder Guard is not free. There is also a way to lock the system32 folder manually, using the Administrator account in Safe Mode. However, this is a bit more complex than something I would recommend to the average user, and an inconvenience when you want to install new software (Folder Guard makes it easy to toggle protection).

make sure your avg anti virus is up-to-date, and scan your computer to check trojan, infected area of system, if do so you can heal the infected area / trojan..
