WHOA! did I get attacked ??? what happened?

[OVERKILL]

Then run a scan from eset.com afterwards, and I recommend replacing AVG with Avira.

a-SQUARED finished and found 5 high-risk trojans; all gotten rid of...
I am running AVG free again (in safe mode this time) just to be sure....

I hope all this takes care of it..
Thanks for the support, guys/gals.

--------------------
EDIT
just saw your new post Overkill.
how do I disable AVG free beforehand? I have to uninstall AVG free to run Avira right? or do you mean some other (online) scan from eset site? link?

Overkill:
do you mean this?:

AVG only runs in command line mode or whatever when XP is on safe mode; looked like it removed 1 Trojan during the safe mode AVG scan...no typical scan report on the command line scan.

I guess i'll run that etest online scan also...

so, overkill: you think i would be better off with Avira than AVG huh?
how can i check if all my work really got rid of the trojans?
just scan with AVG again i guess?

It should. I thank Sprintman for turning me on to it. Run a scan every few days at least. Yes get Avira.

 

[97tbird]

Gonna get Avira then
Should I try to uninstall AVG as usual, or shall i go direct to their uninstaller ???

Can you guys post a reminder on how to turn off system restore in XP.

 

[greenaccord02]

Right click on "my computer" and go down to properties. This will bring up a window with several tabs. Select the "system restore" tab. Then click the box next to "turn off system restore on all drives" click OK and there you are.

 

[OVERKILL]

Whoops, I was AFK.

Yessir, uninstall AVG and install Avira.

Much better scanner.

Then run a full scan with it.

And yes, the eset link you posted is the correct one to run.

 

[97tbird]

thanks.

uninstalled AVG (using AVG free uninstaller) and installed Avira a/v ;
running 1st scan right now...
