Hello everyone, im new to this forum. Last night, my computer was compromised. While using it, the mouse began moving around as if it were being moved by someone using remote access. I disconnected from the net immediatley. I then went to Trend Micro and scanned my pc, and sure enough it found the Trojan named "TROJ RANKY.AS" and it gave me the infected file. I started up in safe mode and deleted the infected file. I than ran trend micro online scan, norton, panda, and trojan hunter, and all showed up clean. I got the newest version of Zonealarm firewall as well. Do you think i am safe now, and how can i be 100% sure that the trojan is out of my system and wont be compromised again because of it. Sorry for seeming a bit paranoid, but i am like this because my cmputer was actually hijacked. Thank you.

You did very well! Man, you were the 'landing at Normandy' with this trojan, and I think you nailed it.
If Trend Micro spotted it, it's gone.
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day;
Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime;
Then industry pollutes the water and kills all the fish.

Glad to know you got rid of it and installed a firewall, but
rather than just relying on an on-line virus scan why not install an antivirus program like AVG as well,

If any advice helps, please post back as it might help others.

Trojans are fun tools especially the take control of their mouse command, they are very well troubleshooting tools when working on comps from a diffrent place
