    Hi
    I have recently changed my Internet Security from Virgin's PC Guard (full version) to AVG (paid for version) and it has found 2 Trojan horse entries and keeps popping up tracking cookie entries.
    I have read and followed the instruction in the the Read Me file and have run the first three scans SuperAntispyware, Spybot & Malwarebytes. The first two scans didn't find anything but the last one did. I have attached the log files for them.
    I have looked at the instructions for using the next one - ComboFix - but it says it is for experienced users (i'm competent but not experienced with this type of thing).
    Can some kind soul check what I have done so far and tell me if I still need to do this step and give me some guidance as to what I need to do.
    Thanks in advance
    Nadine

    The logs you have attach thus far show no problems so if your only issue was cookies, you don't need to do anything else because cookies are not problems. See step 11 in the below:

    Hi Chaslang

    Thanks for the reply. AVG also found a couple of Trojan horse entries as well. Unfortunately I can't remember the names of them (and like an idiot I forgot to write them down, sorry). I have rerun my AVG and it has found about 12 tracking cookies but seems to have removed the trojans.
    I do use Spybot, Ccleaner, and full AVG so hopefully my PC should be OK now.
    Thanks again, if I have any further problems i'll post again
