| 1220068 | 2011-07-30 21:49:00 | I'm running MS Security Essentials and I've had a couple of warnings about infection from a trojan called; Trojan Downloader: HTML/Renos.Q . I removed it as prompted by Security Essentials, fine, but then a few hours later I got the same prompt, so I removed it again. I've looked it up, but can't find a lot about it, except it's malicious. I'm normally fairly careful where I visit online. But I can't help but wonder if it came from an e-mail sent from my brother's hotmail address, which contained only a website address. I foolishly clicked on it and it opened some sort of Canadian online pharmacy. Since then (I use mailwasher) I've bounced any e-mails from my Brother's hotmail address and tried to contact him to tell him what's happening. Does this sound bad? |

| 1220070 | 2011-07-30 23:29:00 | Thanks CliveM, I used a Trojan Remover and it looks as though it's gone (fingers crossed). So Security Essentials could've done the job anyway. |

| 1220074 | 2011-07-31 01:18:00 | Also possibly turn off System Restore then back on again to clear your restore points, virii can hide in there (not necessarily detected by some virus checkers). | feersumendjinn (64) | ||

Uninstall the older version/s Thanks Speedy, done that. Only thing is, I was prompted that a 32 bit browser was detected and I should install both 64 bit and 32 bit. At this stage I've only installed latest 64 bit Java. |

| 1220076 | 2011-07-31 02:16:00 | Go to the site and download 32 bit Java. (www.oracle.com) No point installing 64 bit java, if you dont use a 64 bit browser. The bottom 2 downloads | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1220077 | 2011-07-31 02:17:00 | Also possibly turn off System Restore then back on again to clear your restore points, virii can hide in there (not necessarily detected by some virus checkers). Done that too:) |
