I have a question....I hope someone can help me.....If you get a trojan on your pc and can't get it off, can you have the pc reformatted and fix this???? :-\
You should be able to remove the horse but if not and you reformat and start all over it will get rid of it. Just remember to save all the stuff that you don't want to lose.
if you have windows XP, you can just do a system restore to an earlier time.
Thanks ya'll I was starting to freak..... :o yes I run XP so I will just do a system restore.....again,Thanks
Try scanning your system here. It's free.

i would also recommend what homer recomends, he seems to know alot of good programs to have on your computer, for me ad-aware seems to solve 80 % of my problems,but there are others that work as good. Advice - you can never have enough malware protection on your computer, but you can have too many virus scanners(they seem to conflict with one another) .
for some reason i can not get ad aware to run on my pc...it installs fine but when i go to run it i get an error message. :(
There are some things that all pc owners should have and use.
1. Firewall
2. Anti Virus
3. Spyware Protection
There are free programs that you can use to protect your computer if you can't afford to buy protection. Also rememner to keep the programs updated because new viruses etc are born on the internet every day.
An unprotected pc is like sex without a condom. Eventually your going to get something nasty. :(

Try Spybot Serch & destroy then. ;)
yea i have & run spybot but wanted a 2nd to catch what the other might miss.
You can try the new one from Microsoft or go to www.download.com and search for one
The top ranked one is from webroot but is only free to try.
thanx for the info homer...will check out the link. microsoft isn't supported for windows me so i figured it wouldn't run on my pc. should find something at download.com tho. ty
Your welcome. ;)
Thanks for your help Homer :-*
No problem. Anytime. O0
I have windows ME, I could never reboot my computer because it appears i didnt get the disk to do it. unless reinstall windows ME is it and it dosnt sound right.
yes I agree that Homer and the rest of the administration are great as well as the members I learn so much from reading the topics.... from other topics I also got the ad-aware and the microsoft one and they work great on top of my trusty Norton, tks again to every1 O0
