Trojan won't die
Recently I seem to have picked up a Trojan called Downloader.1st.bar. AVG detects this but does not purge it. No-Adware seems to get rid of it but doesn't display its destruction.
Curiously when I run No-Adware a lot of files come up which don't appear to exist on my computer, such as sexy-bedroom.pif, naked-party.pif, webcam.pif and naked_drunk.pif. There was also one which bears the name of John Kerry. I haven't been visiting sex sites. certainly not for the past few weeks, so where can these pe coming from?
The full name of the naked_drunk file for example appears to be
c:\\naked_drunk.pif.
Not only can't I find these files with the regular filefind feature but I am a little concerned about c:\\
Does this mean that a new, secret directory has been somehow created on my machine? And how do I get rid of this damned Trojan for good? Thanks
