bttt.
I have been trying these AVAST and AVG and so far my PC (at home) is infected with trojans and viruses like crazy.
Every one of these free softwares tells me I have the trojans and viruses, but then tells me they can't remove them.
I installed AVAST, and now it won't UNINSTALL no matter what I do.
Yeah, I tried Avast, and that's the reason I ditched it. I finally had to do a dirty delete by going to Explorer and deleting the folder it was in, then running my registry cleaner.
Try AV Personal, http://www.free-av.com and see if it will remove the stuff. If not, you might have to reload everything, unless somenone else here knows a trick or two.
The below are from Usenet posts in microsoft.public.windowsxp.general and
microsoft.public.security.virus.
I keep them around for the links just in case. Take them as is I haven't used everything here and cannot vouche for their safety or if they work.
