Comment: Hello, I ran a NAV scan and it told me that I had the following trojan horses: Colors.class, Dummy.class, Parser.class (2 of them), Parser [1].class, RunString.class. I put the trojans in Quarantine meanwhile to find out what to do. But the question is, is it safe to delete them from there? Norton warns me from doing it. Or shall I repare the object first before deleting it? Or do it in another way to avoid damage the computer or some programs? Thanks for your help!

Reply: (edit)Go to http://www.wilders.org and download a trojan remover program Their are a few so make your choice and once dowmloaded run it and it should remove the trojans.. By the wya, why aren't you running some sort of software firewall program instead just using norton.. anyways hope this helps..

Reply: (edit)Thank you, I'll take a closer look at it. I'm having a hardware firewall and the reason I don't have a software firewall is because having them both seemed to be too complicated running the computers smoothly. More barriers than easy surfing.
