Re: Trojan Virus

First make sure you have tried scanning in safe mode.
Lots of stuff can hide but is often found in safe mode.
If you have another system, try hooking the infected
drive to the other system and scanning it as just data
(make sure your definitions are up to date). Do NOT
try and run anything on the drive when it is mounted on
another system, just scan it.

Same thing here. It arrived on 6/9. I will try suggestion above. It's
extortion, isn't it? Let me know if there are any 'cures'.

Got the same identical problem and the spyware is called "TITAN SHIELD
ANTISPYWARE" - Sneaky devils are hiding behind a Windows security message.
So far I haven't been able to remove this junk after using three different
antispyware programs. I have cleaned my C drive, scanned several times and
all virus scanners show no unwanted trojans. I cannot shake this thing and
may have to abort my hard drive and reload. Anyone else up against this?
