    Yes,why have one when you can have two of the buggers!
    Had day out in London today,Football comes first,then familys in England ;)
    Well my nine year old son had unlimited access to the net and managed to obtain free of charge viruses which i have spent some time trying to get rid of. Two of which are Trojans picked out by AVG. Spybot has found umpteen other items that mostly are deleted, but some are proving difficult to pull because apparently they share running processes?! Adware found 67 items including 37 registry defects. Ooh me `ead hurts!
    My comp. is running harder,and hotter.Also unable to access icons on tool bar.And seems time clock has stopped? Having trouble booting up,screen freezes and hard drive rumbling like a good `un.
    My son seems to have downloaded a Casino programme that took over completely the start up and running pprogs. Cannot recall the details of this casino site,just hope he hasn`t lost our home on the roullette table!
    Ok,done the Trojans i think, done triple scan with updated Adware6 and Spybot. What else can i do?
    Guess who`is in for a serious thrashing with the leather strap ?
    As if :rolleyes: He`s a sweetie just like his Dad.

    Cheers guys, Wild.

    Just another thought, sometimes with Spybot and Ad-aware you need to reboot and scan again to nuke all those running processes they find.

    Definitely agree with Robo about running HijackThis.

    Update,nearly there back to normal that is. Robo,took some time but managed to use Hijack and there seems to be nothing damaging there.As for Trojanscan it froze as soon as i attempted to a scan? Still some items not working as they should. Keep having to reboot accasionally as sometimes freezes.And i believe i was being hacked short while ago? 69.2.11.82 tcp port 1865. Anyone help there? Spybot found some strange spyware from Microsoft! Loads of it but maybe its normal or is it?
    There seems to be some dialers lodged on my machine which appears to be items i thought i had got rid of some time back.How can i delete these?
    Getting there but comp. seems hesitant and not quick as was.
    Thanks guys. Wild.

    Hi wild
    If i may just follow on from alanc and robo excellent advice. This is another tool to get shot of Malware which is much more common then people think. This works slightly differently to spybot and AD-Aware and will most probably find any raiments left. It is called A2 Which is freeware and can be found here
