    Hi,
    First of all I would like to just quickly say that I am a complete amatuer when it comes to computers so if anybody replies to this please bare with me and apologies in advance.
    I have been infected with what I believe to be ramnit.D trojan and can't remove it, despite my best efforts, and was wondering if anybody could give me some advice as to how to go about getting rid of it.
    From posts I've read in other forums I'm guessing I may be too far down the line to save my laptop from a complete system restore or reinstallation but again I don't really have a clue.
    Thanks in advance!

    Welcome to Major Geeks, thornium :)

    In most cases the only safe and reliable way to properly remove Ramnit is to reinstall due to the damage it causes and also due to the security issues it opens. So let me first post a canned speech/warning about Ramnit.

    Having said the above, let's get an idea if you really are infected with Ramnit.
