VIRUS!!!

[askerian]

I got a fucking virus on my comp. DO NOT accept mails from me!! Do not send me files or anything of the sort. I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of it, but so far it's still here.

*HATES*


edit/ trojan downloader. And AVG couldn't do anything with it but move the infected files away. Now what? I don't even know if I NEED those files to make the computer work. And I can't even reformat and reinstall everything; I don't have the FUCKING WINDOWS XP CD!!! *HATES*

Well, it's worth a shot and certainly can't hurt. Here's the link to the download, you don't have to have McAfee to use it :

Another decent tool is 'Adaware' from Lavasoft; another piece of freeware, and it cleans up ad-ware and spy-ware :

I'm not sure what else to do without knowing just which trojan it is... with a name, you can search on most of the major anti-virus sites and get removal instructions.
Good luck!
