Thread: Click-You're Infected! Trojan of my PC

The Hassle: I clicked a link on Facebook that promised a Flash upgrade, and now I'm infected, big time, How in the world can I get this pesky Trojan horse off of my PC?

The Fix: This is a mighty tricky Trojan-a buddy of mine got nailed, and I almost clicked on the link, too, Just for kicks, I intentionally infected a test PC with Trojan-Clicker, Win32'vB and tried new versions of two products, both of which I've used before, Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware program (the free version lacks active protection, which checks for dangerous code in real time) and Sunbelt's 15-day trial of CounterSpy both removed the Trojan horse, Leave your antivirus software on your system, but if you already have antispyware software, uninstall it and reboot.



Then grab a copy of either Malwarebytes or the fully functional'trial of CounterSpy (find, pcworld,com/61808), install it, reboot, and run the scan, Once the Trojan horse is removed, reboot a'nd repeat the scan, just to be sure that everything is gone,
