How to get rid of a 'Troyan'?

790 Views 2 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  tommary0517
Dear Friends,
I think I have a troyan in my computer or something alike. When I am away from the comp. it keeps trying to connect by itself to internet. I tried to download spyware doctor but it did not detect anything, neither did Avast.
My pc is WIndows XP H.Ed. I have a dial-up connection.
Thank you
Tommy

Continue to follow the rest of the prompts from there.
At the final dialogue box click Finish and it will launch Hijack This.
Click on the Do a system scan and save a log file button. It will scan and then ask you to save the log.
Click Save to save the log file and then the log will open in notepad.
Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
Come back here to this thread and Paste the log in your next reply.
DO NOT have Hijack This fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.

It will possibly show other issues deserving our attention, but most of what it lists will be harmless or even required, so do NOT fix anything yet.
Someone here will be happy to help you analyze the results.


If you have fixed anything with Spybot Search and Destroy,AdAware or any other spyware scanners...please reboot before scanning.
