Does anyone know how to get rid of these damn Trojan Horse Downloader.Agent.11.Q and Trojan Horse Downloader.Agent.12.d viruses? They are driving me crazy and AVG will not clean them up for whatever reason. I have the latest updates for AVG by the way. HELP PLEASE!!!!

 

sure take your hard drive out, place hammer on it and bang. that why I have the format and restore process down to about 30 minutes and do it once a month

 

Does AVG keep finding them?

If so, click on it and select GOTO file and manually delete the file.

 

AVG scans and doesn't pick it up but everytime I open Internet Explorer I get slammed with notices about the viruses. I manually move them to the virus vault and delete them but it doesn't do any good they keep coming back.

 

Save your important stuff on a separate media then.........

REFORMAT your drive and start from scratch. WARNING.....

when you reformat you lose everything, but it is kinda like getting a new computer.

Oh yeah! Avoid **** sites and things of that nature. They are loaded with all sorts of stuff.

 

I was trying to avoid reformatting my hard drive but it looks like I may have to. Guess what I'll be doing this weekend. Thanks for the tips. If anyone else has anything to add please let me know.

 

USE NORTON ANTI VIRUS AND NORTON PERSONAL FIREWALL... the only way i got a virus was when i downloaded a program then installed it... now i just scan any and every file i download... since then, no viruses...

 

I have all the latest software if you need anything.... Of course right

 

I appreciate it. I'm still hoping I can get rid of these viruses without reformatting. The funny thing is I didn't download a file. It happened when I did a search through google and clicked on a link.

 

well the link may have attached itself to something. You gotta stop downloading all that **** from strange places in former eastern block countries

 

Mental note no more of those former eastern block counties **** sites. No it was when I was searching for rims and tires.

 

NORTON ANS MCAFEE BOG YOUR COMPUTER DOWN. I have seen Norton cause more problems than it fixes, and McAfee comes with spyware. Stick to AVG, works great.

 

hmmmmmmmmmmm strange. well bummer either way. Lemme know if you need help

 

Lmk if you need help... I just had a trojan horse on my laptop and took a little research to fix it.

 

Hmm, sometimes viruses run in the background and can't be deleted unless you find them in the registry and remove them from there so that they don't automatically start up when you boot up the computer. If you know how to work in the registry, try going to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run

and remove anything that you think may be a virus. After removing the virus entries, restart computer and try to let AVG clean it. If that doesn't work, i guess reformat =( Sorry man.
