Title: Virus Help? Post by: Tomkat on November 06, 2007, 01:47:15 am My home PC has been infected with a (trojan horse) virus... Ironically the virus was attached to some anti-virus software!
So now Im slowly losing control of everything...yesterday my external harddrive stopped working... Im already unable to get into any documents...so yeah...virus. Point is: "luckily" I made a backup of all my files I was interested in keeping (while I was still able to get into the harddrive)...two days ago...but my pc has already been infected then! thus the "", since reloading my backups will probably also revive the virus...:( Thats why Im actually posting here... maybe some brilliant mind can help me out... Im formatting everything tonight... but to reload my backed up files Ill need a good anti-virus program running to weed the virus out of the files... Does anyone know of a good freeware program that'll do that? Im guessing one with a "quarantine zone" where I can drag all the files for checking before putting them back in place... Any help = appreciated! Thanks! Title: Virus Help?
