They did it again! Someone got into my **********.

Do I have a Trojan on my computer or what?

Hmm, I don't know. But you can try downloading and running something like this for free to see. It does a nice job of even stubborn malware.

Yes, check with antivirus and anti-Spyware tools if you have a Trojan or keylogger on your system. Then choose a really hard password like "Ai46#lu!vnN", but which you still can remember.

Or just don't pay for **********. You're most probably downloading illegal stuff anyway.

If you have Firefox, install the NoScript add-on.

What kind of anti virus do you have?
Norton? They only find viruses. You need to install their internetsecurity crap too against some trojans

 

[trinket]

Yeah, Corny is right. I've helped friends and co-workers with badly infected systems, and I've found Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to remove stuff that Ad-aware and Spybot Search & Destroy didn't detect, much less Norton, AVG, NOD32 or McAfee that they may already be running as just a standalone "antivirus" solution. To be sure, you can run it as a "full scan" in safe mode, then reboot and check it again outside of safe mode. Sometimes, too, specific infections (where I Google the symptoms or the name of a popup that keeps occurring) are handled particularly better by one tool out there, though.

Still not sure if your ********** problems were related to this, but it can't hurt to clean anything found on your system anyway. Keep us updated!

I don't really have any problems that I know of.
I wondered if I would have any problems downloading this or spyware doctor with Norton installed on my machine.
Will Norton react in any way?
Thanks

 

[Corny]

No, at least malware bytes rusn without problems beneath your virus scanner.

Thanks for that

Afterward, I ran a scan on my downloaded software and found the same Trojans/Viruses.

Use an antivirus that checks the programs automatically whenever you start, install, or unpack them. Only download from trusted sources.

If you can't afford commercial software that you need, avoid dubious cracks for it and get Freeware/Open source software if you can get the same results with it.

you could try a version of linux (like a live CD/DVD) and see if that works for you.
