Hello... I keep getting a message saying I have a trojan virus, and I have run all sorts of programs to get rid of it, but nothing works. I ran HijackThis, and it gave me a log file I don't understand. Would someone be able to help me figure out what to remove if I provide the log? Email me or reply to this message please. Thanks.

This gives tips on what to remove with HJT.
HijackThis log tutorial


This will do out trojans:
Here is another that is at most computer stores,
including Office Depot, Office Max:
Spyware X-terminator

Also, be sure to update any software online
after installation, and every 1-2 weeks.

andriapaige, be aware that a trojan and a virus are very similar, but they're different. Many AV programs can identify trojans they can't clean, HJT may fall into that category,dunno. Another thing to try is an online trojan scan (along with crossed fingers). Scan at :
