Wow, thanks to all for the quick and informative replies.
Following Phil’s advice, the Trojan Remover did an excellent job of scraping out the major trojan, which freed up the rest of the system to check out normally.
SpyBot S&D then found another trojan, a bunch of malware, and it all got scrubbed.
Taking the advice of Robin, I will make a restore point after ad-aware finishes, deleting the older versions.
I really like the 9 of you that read this blog. Thanks.
HeHe….good deal!! Glad you got it clean.
Glad to hear it worked.
There be ten of us.
Make that eleven.
Ah Gruntdoc you have more – however, most of us are not that savy with tech. Before my wifes number is the tech support group :P
Is it going to fall to me to make a lame joke about removing Trojans?
Goatwhacker: heh.
