| 102038 | 2002-11-28 00:28:00 | I think I have a trojan horse file that has been dailing up my internet connection to pop up websites. It's a 'P' logo with 'winservs' as part of it's description. How can I delete it?. When I try, a message says it's currently being used by windows and won't allow me to delete it. I've installed Zonealarm which seems to have stopped it but I need to trash it and would welcome any hints on how to do this. Thanks |

| 102040 | 2002-11-28 00:52:00 | Try running a trojan detector. One to try is Cleaner3 (www.simtel.iif.hu). There are plenty of others if you want to do a search on Google. | Susan B (19) | ||

| 102042 | 2002-11-28 01:04:00 | http://www.housecall.antivirus.com is a free Online Virus scan which should pick it up if its a virus. Otherwise, Tweake's right and its spyware! Cheers Chilling_Silence |
