    i am a very ditzy lady, i have looked at the READ AND RUN ME FIRST thing, but I have no idea what it all means! all i know is that i have a trojan horse on my computer (found by AVG) it has put into the virus vault but does that mean its gone? i have started using Mozilla as my explorer, will this help? I HATE MALWARE!

    If AVG has quarantined it ....you may be safe.
    You can do an online scan:
    Bitdefender agree to the license and then select Scan. DO NOT CHANGE THE OPTIONS TO SHOW ALL FILES SCANNED. That will make your logs huge and we don't need to see clean files. Once Bitdefender completes the scan:

    Click-on the Detected Problems tab. Then select Click here to export the scan report

    When the window comes up to save the report, change the Save as type: box to Text (Tab Delimited) (*.txt) and then in the File name box enter change to bdscan then click save. This will save a file named bdscan.txt in whatever folder you are currently in when you save the file (take notice of where you are at so you can find it later). This bdcan.txt file will actually contain HTML code that we can easily view later while reviewing your log. All we have to do is rename the file to bdscan.html.

    Or download CounterSpy
    and run a scan, then attach the results.
