I have an old computer but the other day i was surfing the net and got hit with the trojan horse clicker.f virus. What's the best thing to use to get rid of the trojan horse, software wise. I'm not great with computers, so I came here. I read that msdos.exe is not a real file and the trojan tries to look like a real file. Is this true? See the trojan horse keeps trying to install itself and I keep saying no. So what's the best way to rid myself of this problem and what's the best way to protect myself in the future.

I'll try the 2nd guy's thing

says tho that malicious code was found in C:\MSDOS.exe. I hope this rids me of it because my pc has slowed down to a crawl because of this and I can't boot windows fully.
