Just a heads up i guess on this new malware.j trojan

I found it on my system too... i have mcafees, and i also use ccleaner, to get rid of unwanted things. as i was looking around i found a new item in the task manager listed as winlogon with my USER name as the user instead of SYSTEM like its suppose to, the system one was there also. i opened up my ccleaner and found in the tools section/startup a listing for nvchost, or something similar, i removed it and the msg that i had this trojan went away. i also decided to download avast free trial to use the preboot scan it has and it picked up 2 other trojans. hope this helps you all.... if you use the avast make sure u turn it back off once u reboot or it will conflict with your antivirus, as you cant have more than one on a system running...

actually no because it was disabled by another program. trojan if you will that disables the protection and my system restore, i reformatted and put my newer version of nortons on there which is the program that first detected this main trojan, it wasnt the new malware.j
