I have a trojan on my computer that is driving me crazy. I'm usually pretty good with getting rid of them but this one is a b****. My computer is running real slow when accessing websites & I run a system restore. AVG found some trojan called Sheur2.siq & .tfh & then in safe mode it said it cleared something called UAcooqeeiel.dll in the system root folder but I'm still having problems. When I tried to run a trojan remover I had on my computer it doesn't work. I tried to re-install it since I still had the exe file but it won't let me do that either. Also I keep getting a viewmgr error when my pc boots up & I read that has something to do with AOL. My AOL is acting up too. I need help. I'm using windows XP.
AVG is not a very good AV software...if it found one thing, you probably have a lot of other virues/trojans running. Click START KEY + R Type "SFC.EXE /SCANNOW" ...It will probably find a bunch of virus-modified windows files. Then get yourself a trial version of ESET security center or MalwareBytes (ESET is a great resident scanner, MalwareBytes is an on-demand-only scanner that sometimes picks up stuff ESET misses) Between these two, you should be able to find (and even remove) several virues.
What's a good AV program that doesn't cost 2 much because I was thinking of trying something else besides AVG? I was able to get a program called trojan remover (that someone suggested) & MalwareBytes to get rid of the trojans...I think. lol (crossing my fingers) Thanks KillerBug.
This one is one of the best, free or not(but luck would have it, this one is FREE): http://www.avira.com/en/pages/index.php
