I have AVG anti-virus on my PC, and a few weeks back it found a trojan virus on my pc. It put it
into the virus vault but could not heal it. How do I completly remove a trojan virus? Or even can
I? Do I have to download specific software to remove it, or is there some more complexe way of
going in to the system?...

How to manually remove viruses! Have you ever been in the possition that you know you have an
virus but you dont have any antivirus?? Its almost impossible to remove it manual without knowing

most of the virus lurking around. But that dosnt mean you shouldnt have any anti virus on you
computer! Anyway, lets get starting with the turtorial.. I suppose you already know what safe

This post is the continuation of my previous post DNS Hijack SearchAtHand.com Browser Result
Removal but deserves its own topic. This trojan, not new but something that's been going
around the web for few years, seems to be quite strong and hard to get rid of. The reason is that it
randomly changes its full file name when a weak anti-spyware attempts to remove it improperly. I
have been using Spybot Search & Destroy and Norton Anti-Virus Corporate Edition for many years and
have never seen such a resilient torjan. Recently I have tried AVG Anti-Spyware but it too...

Recently, my aunt just got a virus... it's not a normal virus that deletes files or monitors my
movements... it's actually a virus that does permanant damage... What it does is that is starts
up with Windows, and occassionally use up your CPU excessively, causing your CPU fan to speed up.
Then it suddenly drops down, so your fan slows down in a sudden stop. This not only hurts your fan,
your CPU, but it also hurts your Harddrive, since your hardware's heat is inconsistent and
jumpy. This resulted in some "harddrive inconsistencies" which made her computer fr...

As a programmer, I had the opportunity to code a trojan horse before, of course it was just for

QUOTE Trojans typically consist of two parts, a client part and a server part. When a victim
(unknowingly) runs a Trojan server on his machine, the attacker then uses the client part of that
Trojan to connect to the server module and start using the Trojan. The protocol usually used for
communications is TCP, but some Trojans' functions use other protocols, such as UDP, as we...

you to electronically send money in order to decrypt your computer. Of course the catch is with

Hi all, If you've ever been in a position of needing to prove that you wrote something on or

service (e.g. http://www.signedtimestamp.org/ ) You will receive a digital signature of what you
submitted, containing your original data and a bunch of timestamp info Now, if you need to prove
to someone the date you submitted the data, you can show them the result of the has...

low level worm, virus, or trojan can become a high level threat just like that. Of course the way
