A few weeks ago my anti virus program found the "downloader" trojan on my pc. I went to Google and typed in the name "downloader.exe" ( the name given to me by my McAfee software) and found a response from Symantec that gave me step by step instructions for removal. Basically it involved starting my computer in the safe mode, disabling system restore, going into regedit and deleting the keys that the Symantec site indicated. After I deleted the indicated key, I ran my anti virus and after several tries finally succeeded. It was pretty simple. Just be very careful. If that fails THEN you can reformat and reinstall. Good Luck Tom Taylor

I've installed and run both AdAware and Spybot as well as the free AVG anti virus program. I've gotten it down to a point where a few tr-jans remain. Does anyone know of a good (preferably free) tr-jan remover? Thanks, in advance. Carol Warman ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
