518368 2007-01-22 11:22:00 Having heaps of problems tonight with crazy machine. Won't detail symptoms now, as I'm scared it may crash on me again before I finish.

Virus scan says I have the above trojan - now supposed to be locked up in avast's chest.

Can't get to Google without waiting forever. Similar probs with similar sites, but as I got in here OK this time, can someone please confirm for me that this trojan stays dead (so I can look for other remedies).
Or does it return each reboot? And if so, is there a cleaner?

Or is it so unlikely to be the problem that I'm wasting time on it?
.
Please..

Use the normal things:

..........shut off system restore,

..........run anti-stuff in Safe Mode,

..........run them again in Safe Mode,

..........run CCleaner then,

..........run a HJT and post for Sir Speedy or Pancake to peruse.

Your AV has probably got it ok but you will need to remove some entries from your Hosts File which will be preventing access to sites like Google.
