If you are clever and are free to lend a hand I will send you my HijackThis log for you to take a look at plus tell you what I have already attempted to do myself!! Am just not geeky enough to do it myself!!!

Thanks

Have a look at Trendmicro they have some detailed info and occasionally produce one off removal programs.

Online scanner here if you want to try it !

I've run AVG, C Cleaner, Spybot leaving the following as embedded: Trojan horse PSW Generic2PRU (2 of), Trojan horse Generic2AANO (3 of), Virus WIN32/sality and Trojan Horse PSW Generic2BLU (1 of)...

And I'm detecting new ones everyday...Not going anywhere dodgy either...just e-mails, the goat and property websites mainly...All the pop-ups are turned off and security is up to 'tight'

I don't know what harm they're doing but I figured why wait to find out?

DO you have a pucker copy of Windows?

Yes...only purchased the tower from PC world late last year (other one went kaput) so it's got Windows XP on it.

Humour me and download microsoft defender and run it... Let me know the outcome

Also suggest a good firewall if you haven't got one already. Zone Alarm does an excellent free one

Try spyhunter as well mate, the trial version won't remove them, but it will tell you exactly where they are

Trial versions make stuff up, it makes you have to buy it to remove it. That is why Microsoft Defender is a good bet for a genuine copy of windows

Vim, being a rigger and technically minded I've always found smashing fek out of anything that doesn't work with a hammer then claiming on the house insurance does the trick.
Hope this helps

I have found threatening them works...... I used to threaten my old PII LITS machine I'd p1ss in the floppy slot....... I'm telling you it works DT_Xtremez_30:

 

[vim_fuego]

The windows defender thing did it...backed up with an AVG scan for a second opinion...

Thanks SSH...You may PM me again in safety...

 

[mad_collie]

Get a decent up to date virus checker etc to stop this happening again.

Check your pm's.

I take it you didn't use my technical expertise then Vim?

 

[SirSaltyHelmet]

I am aroused!

I'm not a rigger...I have a chap for the manual stuff around the house and it's his day off...
