Trojan removal
http://us.mcafee.com/virusInfo/defau...virus_k=100687

I have two seperate system files infected with this trojan according to McAfree's virus scan. Anyone have an idea of how to get rid of this virus?

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\tapicfg.exe

C:\Program Files\WINDOWS\MSINFO\info32.exe

Are the infected files.

Grab it near the base of the shaft. Hold tight to prevent leakage. Slide it off.

The Achaeans had alot of problems removing Trojans. My main advice is to do whatever you can not to piss Apollo off, and cater to Achilles' every wish.

How good are you with computers? Have you ever made modifications to your registry?

I would prefer, since I'm on a tight budget not to have to pay for anti-viral software. I used their free online service to check out my computer since I have had some bugs crop up over the last while.

No, I've never modified my registry, but with good instructions it should not be a problem.

I have an appointment right now, but I will be back this afternoon.

Here:
http://download.com.com/3000-2239-10...ml?tag=lst-0-3

That's the one i use. This one is free to try so you may get some pop-ups but only during installation. You will also probably have to download virus definitions.

Put your computer in the washer with the usual load of detergent -- oh, and bleach.


Then put the washer on gentle cycle. This should do it.

Oh -- after putting it through the washer -- don't put it in the dryer.

You don't want to damage your computer, so let it air dry.

Actually, to be honest, the title did seem to imply at first what Che was joking about. I expected something along the lines of:

Quote:
I have sinned, and now I pay the penalty for it. How do I get this stupid thing off?! Hurry, the girl's starting to laugh at me!
Well, no, not really. I know you better than that. But it was a fun split-second of absurdity.

But we know that Benster is too straight-laced to EVER create such light-hearted thread that deal with sex.

Not necessarily. I haven't used any virus scanners for aeons and I haven't got one single virus, worm, or trojan horse. Then again, you need to know what you are doing

Same here. I was just hoping I'd be the first one to make the funny troll. Che got it right off the bat. I just miss out on all the good trolling cause I don't hang around OT obsessively.
