Trend Micro Housecall




I have been having problems with my PC for a couple of weeks now.
First it wouldn't shut down then I was stopped from using Registry
First Aid because it couldn't create a registry backup. Permission was
denied. Windows live messenger was not working, Yahoo widgets engine
would not install and Adaware would not connect to update its
definitions.

Windows beta defender, spybot search and destroy, spyware blaster and
Norton 2006 all found nothing wrong except for one or two cookies and
MRU's. All of them are fully up to date.

My clue came from Yahoo help on installing the widget engine. They said
there had been cases of a clean up helping to solve the problem. So i
searched this forum and then took a link to Trend Micro Housecall. It
found a trojan and several instances of malware and greyware. Although
it took a long time to scan and eradicate the problems my problems are
solved for the moment.

So, in short, thanks to all out there who take the time to offer
advice.
