I'm having a major problem with the computer right now. I just bought it 4 months ago and problems are endless. I just installed the Grand Theft Auto : San Andreas game on it and works perfectly. I downloaded a trainer for it to enable some cheat codes for the game. It worked fine for 2 weeks but just yesterday the trainer itself disappeared from the game folder. When I tried to unrar the .exe file back to the game folder, Bitdefender 8 Professional Plus popped an alert saying the computer has been infected with "Trojan.Downloader.Swizor.CO" and the file doesn't unzip. I ran Bitdefender virus scan and it was unable to disinfect it so it deleted the infected files. I deleted the .rar file for the trainer and downloaded the same file in a zip file. I tried to copy the file from the zip file into the game directory but the same thing happened, Bitdefender pops the same alert. The trojan doesn't seem to be leaving. And that trainer is the only file that's not able to unzip. My other files associated with winrar or winzip work fine. I tried to open the file directly from winrar itself but Bitdefender pops the alert again and winrar says something about the admin folder and it can't open it. I don't know why the file is suddenly behaving this way as I'm almost certain that the file is not a virus, it worked perfectly before. It seems as if something just took hold of it for some reason. I can't seem to run the trainer no matter what so I was just wondering how to resolve this. I've checked a lot of sites on the virus to no avail. Bitdefender locates the infected files here:
C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\x7k7i2j1.default\Cache\CFA2D69Fd01=>(gzip)=>Grand.Theft Auto.San Andreas.PLUS.27.TRAINER.REPACK-PIZZADOX\pztrain.exe
C:\Downloaded Files\pizzadox_plus27_trainer.rar=>pztrain.exe

Together there are 4 locations of the infections. Please recommend me some solutions for this issue, thanks.

sounds like you shouldnt have downloaded it in the first place. I would be careful of stuff like that, as they cause viruses. For me, unless its mentioned by someone whos a good computer tech, I would stay away from stuff like that. besides,whats the fun of cheating in games? ;)

I saw the same trainer on www.gamewinners.com and bitdefender popped up w/ the notice for me too... gamewinners usually scans their stuff for viri before posting them. either this one slipped through, or bitdefender is too sensitive. (the trainer does have a function to add an in game menu to the game to operate the trainer)
