Hi-My computer has a trojan.
It's: Dropper.Small.6.L

Can someone tell me where I can get the free removal tool for this?
Thanks, PT

OK It sounds like it's showing up in your system restore files, you need to flush your restore points.

Go to Start>Run and type msconfig Press enter.

When msconfig opens, click the Launch System Restore Button.
On the next page, click the System Restore Settings Link on the left.

Check the box labeled Turn off System restore on all Drives.


Reboot. Go back in and Turn System Restore Back on. A new Restore Point will be created.

Use one of these free on-line scanners (note some spyware,viruses and trojans have been known to disable PC based AV scanners):
