HI, last week my computer got two serious trojans, bit defender picked them up as Trojan horse Generic13.ATPH and Trojan horse Generic13.BQVVthey were in my system32 directory. Internet explorer started running strangly google wouldnt work but my favourite sites loaded ok, then bit defender wouldnt open.. so i d/l AVG - this detected the threat but couldnt remove it, then i could no-longer d/l anything from the internet, All of my system restore points had vanished, after talking to the IT guys at work, they suggested i try starting in safe mode, however, this just froze the system. So, frustrated, i did a full destructive system restore, from the discs i burned when i first set up the PC. after this, vista started fine, i installed all of the windows updates and IE was running fine, however, when i tried to view photos from the second hard drive on the PC, AVG and windows defender went mental.. worried I formatted this secondary hard drive and yet again did a full system restore from disc.. Now AVG isnt picking anything up, IE is running sound, but the computer seems a bit slow and images on websites do not seem as clear as they used to be, i've tried updating the drivers for the intergrated graphics card, radeon X1200, but this seems to make no difference. My windows experience index seems to be lower than before, all the fields are 5.6-5.9 except graphics and gaming graphics which are 3.6 and 3.1 respectivly, i think this is a lot lower than before, i think this is where my problem lies? is it that my graphics card has been damaged by the virus? Details- Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1 Manu - Advent Processor - AMD Phenom(tm) 9550 Quad Core Processor 2.20Ghz Memory (ram) - 4.00GB System type - 32 bit O/S How can I be sure that all is still well on this PC? are there any programmes i should run? any help will be much appreciated and if any more info is needed, i'll reply asap.. Thanks in advance. Adam
