Hello all
I am just wondering what is the way getting rid of a trojan it keeps taking over my internet, putting up unwanted searchbar and making itself my home page. I have tried using a free spyware problem, it did not work. How do i get rid of it. Also what is the best way of making my pc not so venuable to such problems. Do i need a program such as Norton or a good firewall. Thanks for your help

These programs are free and do a pretty good job:

Ad-Aware (finder/fixer).

SpyBot Search & Destroy (finder/fixer).

Sygate Personal Firewall.

AVG Anti-Virus (finder/fixer - free updates.

SpywareBlaster (preventer, already mentioned).#

Make sure you get your security updates from MS too.
