hi,
guys i'm having alot of problems with trojan spyware at the mo.... it wasn't too bad but just lately it seems to be getting right out of control,
i have norton that came with the comp.
and avg 6.0 which does detect them as they come it...the problem with this is it doesn't give an option to instantly stop them or delete them...it just informs me of it...so i need to do a complete test to find and kill it.
any help would be appreciated ____________________ Bikes owned :- 2001 nsr125, 1999 zx6r, 2006 yzf-r1, 2009 xmax 250, 2012 yzf-r1, 2015 MT-07

Have you tried AdAware or spybot?
Both are available as free downloads if you do a search with google or whoever you use for search engine.

I strongly advocate the use of Mozilla - www.mozilla.org; It is far superior to Internet Explorer, particularly in terms of security.
Merely visiting a webpage with Internet Explorer is sufficient action to infect you with a virus/trojan/other-unwanted-program, whereas Mozilla is completely problem free. |

I think someone recently put a post up about all the different spy ware removers etc etc. Can't remember where I saw it to be honest and knowing my luck the link was probably in an earlier post in this thread But have a look for that anyway, I strongly recommend using Ad Aware 6.0 Pro, I've got a cracked copy I could send you if you need it, I have Ad Watch running all the time my PC is on and tend not to get any problems with spy ware etc since then.
I often run Spy Seeker or something similar and that clears up some more rubbish that makes it's way past Ad Aware.
Then I have Norton Pro running all the time, scanning my e-mails etc etc. So tend not to worry about viruses too often either.
To be honest, with that lot running it's no hassle as it all does the work itself and only thing I need to do is running the virus scanner every now and then etc.
Let me know if you do want the copy of Ad Aware. ____________________ Current Toys: 06 Yamaha WR250F | Nissan 350Z GT | Tech 4 Homes |

Craig, what problems are you having exactly? Just incase it's the same as mine. I run Norton Antivirus and Firewall and this is the first virus/spyware problem I have had since I first bought a PC 5 years ago ____________________ Past >>>> Honda NSR 125 >>>> Suzuki GSXR 600 K1 >>>> Suzuki GSXR 600 K4 >>>>Kawasaki Z1000 DAF >>>>Suzuki RMZ 250 >>>> Current >>>> KTM Superduke R 1290 >>>> |

this sums it up blue,
ran spybot..and found 70+ problems, then ran adaware..and found 50...then ran it again..and found 4, then again and found 8...are these little buggers like rabbits??
the adds were the ,main problem...my cpu was always busy loading them etc..and they started popping up whilst i was playing quake online...getting me killed on a few occasions ____________________ Bikes owned :- 2001 nsr125, 1999 zx6r, 2006 yzf-r1, 2009 xmax 250, 2012 yzf-r1, 2015 MT-07

The trick is to not to click yes to downloading plugins. Typically on entry to a porn site or a software crack site. It asks you if you want to install the free plugin, say no and after several times saying no it will eventually load up the page.
You will get no or very little spyware apart from some cookies,
A trojan is typically a virus which opens port's on your computer so a hacker can gain backdoor entry to your system so if you are getting warnings from norton about various trojans then it is proberbly due to you downloading from P2P sources.
spy ware is used mainly for marketing and advertising purposes this is why norton and others does not remove them. Although newer versions may have this option. ____________________ Im not the best, but im in the top one

I'm going to be trying loply's suggestion when I next get on my PC. I've been thinking about trying it for a while but I've never got around to it. I'll be reinstalling windows and doing the general 6 month thing when I move house this week and I'll put it on then. (Might as well do it all at once eh?) ____________________ Current bike: VTR1000F Firestorm. Previous: Firestorm (written off) - XJ600 Divvy - NSR125 - DT125 and a load of offroaders. |
