Have got AVG Free edition and its resident shield keeps telling me it detects the Agobot virus, but when I run AVG complete test it finds nothing. Please reply soon as I have heard this is a very bad virus. I am also finding that after I have been using the internet for a short while it stops letting me open links in new windows? any sggestions? Finally what are peoples views on the web browser firebird? I am thinking of installing it. Thankyou in advance

Try the scan at http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ There is a free trojan scan at http://www.pcflank.com/

Agree; and then follow that with a Spybot or Ad-aware scan; and post up a Hijack log. Spybot AdAware HijackThis http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/hijackthis.zip

Cheers, will probably try it in a bit, though haven't had any virus warnings since I turned on this morning. Phantom virus? :-)

Right where do I start :-) Ran the adware, spybot and housecall programs. Couldn't access PCflank. Moments before I was about to do all that My computer started hanging, services.exe was using 100% CPU power. Have searched internet and only real suggestion seemed to be installing a service pack for windows, but I already have the latest. When I restarted my computer I saw a command prompt style window telling me something about drivers not found for hidden.exe and services.exe. I also have a strange executable running SysInt32.exe Spybot and adware found loads of stuff mostly Gator products. Housecall found the MUMU.B Trojan but was unable to clean it.
